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?

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!

Podstruck is finishing our wedding category with the brand new A24 rom-com adjacent black comedy The Drama starring Zendaya and Robert Pattinson. We discuss whether some critics were right to be upset by the misleading marketing for this movie and whether it makes light of sensitive topics or is a fresh approach to an American obsession. And of course we unpack the worst things that we have personally ever done and why teenage brains are just a bit deranged. Plus Alana Haim should get an Oscar for Best Acting of an Unlikable Character. It's a movie that will get your butthole clenched, make you gasp, and have you tittering with laughter... just please do not bring your baby to see it.

Continuing our collection of wedding rom-coms, Podstruck looks back this week at Four Weddings and a Funeral, the Hugh Grant breakout movie that turned him into a romantic comedy star. Mark Vigeant (Dropout, Edinburgh Fringe Fest) joins Chelsea and Elena to debate whether Andie MacDowell brings the heat or is a beautiful ice sculpture, why Cameron Crowe should envy Mike Newell's vignettes, the warm worlds that Richard Curtis writes even if they also have some sexism, what beer douchebags drink in the U.K., the incredible slate of side characters including Rowan Atkinson, how learning sign language can get you laid, and the most heartbreaking part of a truly sob-worthy funeral. It's a classic that absolutely deserves a rewatch.

We continue our bucket of wedding rom-coms with the 1999 Gary Marshall flick, Runaway Bride, starring Julia Roberts and Richard Gere! Can these two recapture the electricity they had in Pretty Woman? We discuss all of this and more as Chelsea and Elena are joined by their husbands, the Jo(h)ns, to discuss this surprisingly divisive movie. But whatever side of history you land on, there's no denying the impressive supporting cast that includes: Hector Elizondo, Laurie Metcalfe, Joan Cusack, Rita Wilson, Christopher Meloni, Donal Logue and more! So join us as Chelsea questions Richard Gere’s status as a leading man, Elena has the revelation that Rita Wilson is still alive, and Chelsea gets worked up over a shoulder bite reference that never pays off. (And a bit of a hot tip, just let this movie wash over you!)

This week Podstruck is launching a new collection of wedding rom-coms starting with 27 Dresses! This 2008 romantic comedy starring Katherine Heigl and James Marsden asks how a movie about terrible people can be charming and the answer is "Benny And The Jets." We pitch ways that this Aline Brosh McKenna script filled with smart dialogue could have been tightened for clearer plotting and we call out the insane moments like the gentlest car crash on earth and the the confusing racist turn that none of us were looking for. And is $20 a peek a good price for a look at Heigl's heinie? Listen on this long but goofy episode.
