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.

  • Runaway Bride: Running from Misogyny (with The Husbands!)
    Apr 1 2026

    CATEGORY: I DO... I THINK


    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!)

  • 27 Dresses: Scraps of A Classic
    Mar 25 2026

    CATEGORY: I DO... I THINK


    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.

  • She's The Man: Amanda Bynes Performance Art (with Monica Byrnes & Toria Sheffield)
    Mar 18 2026

    CATEGORY: THOU HADST ME AT GOOD MORROW

    It’s the 20 year anniversary of She’s The Man and we inadvertently celebrate it this week, rewatching the Amanda Bynes Channing Tatum romp to cap off our Shakespeare collection. Joining us is a team of hilarious screenwriters: Monica Byrnes and Toria Sheffield. Together, we talk about changes from Twelfth Night to She's The Man, why everyone should watch The Hills, that time Elena hung out with Amanda Bynes and saw a certain pop star, and debate whether Channing Tatum smells like salami. Plus we debate whether Amanda's line deliveries are genius or deranged... or both.
