About this listen

Torsten has joined Sabrina in her kitchen to say something about “Say Anything,” the 1989 Cameron Crowe directorial debut starring Ione Skye and John Cusack that features THAT boombox in front of the window scene. They neither want to buy anything, sell anything, or process anything as a career. As a career, they don’t want to do that.


They do, however, talk about a few things you may want to check out:


– Roger Ebert's review of the movie when it came out: https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/great-movie-say-anything-1989

– Ione Skye's autobiography, “Say Everything”: https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Say-Everything/Ione-Skye/9781668048269


Welcome to “In Front of Ira,” the podcast in which historians, friends, and lovers… of romcoms Sabrina Mittermeier and Torsten Kathke discuss how the romantic comedy genre has evolved, what it can tell us about society, and whether this movie is worth watching.
