If you’ve seen the trailer for Palm Springs it would be easy to compare it to other films that use time loops as a narrative device. Obviously everyone wants to make a comparison to Groundhog’s Day and just write it off as such. This romantic dramedy, starring Andy Samberg and Cristin Milioti, is so much more than trailer lets on. So go and watch this movie on Hulu, and then come back and listen to this episode.
Enjoy!
This week we discuss two Netflix movies, The Wrong Missy and The Lovebirds. In a time where original content is scarce, these two movies have been very popular, but do we share in that excitement? I mean, you kind of have to listen to the show to find out…that’s kind of the whole point of this. We also talk about why comedies can be an especially polarizing genre, and what movie theaters will look like going forward. We’re all over the map this week.
Enjoy!
This week we take a look at several of the new Netflix romantic comedies. We did an episode many months ago where we asked what happened to this disappearing category of movies, and apparently we just needed to be patient to find out the answer. While we are thrilled that this genre is still relevant, the results are…a little bit mixed. I would like to go ahead and apologize for how poorly we explain some of these plots, some nights you just can’t find the thread to save your life. So sit back and relax as we fumble our way through Set It Up, To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before, and Sierra Burgess is a Loser.
Enjoy!
Edmond Rostand…why?!!!
We often find ourselves talking about random movie topics before or after our regular recordings. It was during one of these chats that we started talking about romantic comedies, and how there don't seem to be as many of them anymore. We decided to make a bonus episode where a few of us try to unravel the mystery of this missing genre.
Enjoy!
