Description
With February taking its final bow, it’s our last chance to celebrate the fun and foibles of the romantic comedy with Todd Strauss-Schulson’s delightful Isn’t It Romantic - and Strauss-Schulson comes along for the ride as a guest!
Together, we chat about what makes romantic comedies work and not work, how his Rebel Wilson vehicle upends those tropes, and what sets it apart from other high-concept rom-coms like David Wain’s They Came Together and Amy Schumer’s I Feel Pretty. It’s a delightful conversation, so grab some chocolates and rose petals and give it a listen!
2:17 - Scalding Hot Takes: Isn’t It Romantic?
37:55 - Sub-Cult 4.0: They Came Together
56:51 - Podcast Recommendations (The Dropout, David Tennant Does a Podcast With…, Where Should We Begin? With Esther Perel)
1:01:45 - Mailbag
1:06:52 - Happy Places
