Summary

Professional comedy writers Elena Crevello and Chelsea Davison are obsessed with rom coms, because it’s one of the only genres that actually centers female stories. Join them as they take a look back at classic romantic comedies to appreciate the good, the bad, and the totally sexist with fresh eyes… Commenting on all the things they were too lovestruck to see the first time. Every week Elena, Chelsea, and their guest will dig into the clumsy leads and quirky best friends, analyze rom com tropes, and share how these films inspired them/warped their ideas of love. Come along as they revisit the chick flicks that taught a generation of women you’re not ugly, you just have glasses.

  • Pillow Talk: Party Line! Excellent! (with Joe Randazzo)
    Apr 29 2026

    CATEGORY: LOTHARIOS IN LOVE

    We continue our collection of playboys turned loverboys this week with the Rock Hudson Doris Day classic Pillow Talk, with special guest Joe Randazzo (The Onion, @midnight). Despite being made in 1959, this movie has a ton of humor, heart, and a whole lotta leg to get your blood pumping... as well as a few sexist/violent moments that will make you very glad it's not 1959 anymore. We talk about the mind games Brad Allen is playing, why Jan needs to find a new hair dresser, who got Oscar nominations, the insane score for this film, and the part where the main characters become ghosts. After seeing this movie, should we bring back party lines?

  • Crazy, Stupid, Love: B Plots Gone Wild
    Apr 22 2026

    CATEGORY: LOTHARIOS IN LOVE


    This week we dart back to 2011 for Dan Fogelman's romantic comedy: Crazy, Stupid, Love! And boy does this movie live up to its title because there are some BANANAS plot points we had completely forgotten existed! But regardless, this movie is a joy with its stacked cast including Steve Carell, Julianne Moore, Emma Stone, Ryan Gosling, Kevin Bacon and Marisa Tomei to name just a few. Chelsea and Elena dig into the multiple intersecting storylines and discuss whether Steve Carell is hotter than Kevin Bacon, Emma Stone's fear of the Dirty Dancing lift, Josh Groban's brilliant turn as Emma Stone's douchebag boyfriend, and our deep love for Steve Carell as a leading rom-com man. Along with some fun light discussion about venturing into our own mid life crises!
