| 09 Oct 2024 | While You Were Sleeping: When Elena Met Chelsea | 00:58:43 | |
In our inaugural Podstruck episode we dig into the 1995 rom-com classic, While You Were Sleeping, and swoon over Sandra Bullock's oversized grandpa sweaters and Bill Pullman's hot dad energy. We talk about why the subway is NOT a place to find love, why "Baskin Robbins" is not a flavor, and why we miss seeing real teeth on the big screen!

Chelsea Davison and Elena Crevello rewatch the Nora Ephron 1998 classic, You've Got Mail, gushing over how cute Meg Ryan is while asking: is Tom Hanks actually attractive? We talk about what makes a New Yorker (spoiler alert: it involves direct human to rat contact), the evolution of online dating, and how we've all lost the art of pondering. This movie is one of the only Hollywood reboots the world actually needed!

| 23 Oct 2024 | Practical Magic: All Women Are Magical | 01:13:56 | |
For a special and spooooky Halloween episode of Podstruck, we rewatch the 90s cult classic Practical Magic and debate whether it fits the typical rom com structure, whether all women are inherently magical, whether Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman have ever looked better, and if male critics gave this movie an unfair grade or if sexism in Hollywood is to blame.

Is blackmail the answer to getting a green card AND love?! Podstruck kicks off another rom-com trope category with The Proposal, the Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds romantic comedy that is both charming and a tad racist. Elena Crevello and Chelsea Davison are joined by Margaret Kaminski to argue over the movie's fashion, why birds are a REAL threat to society, and whether the actors have any chemistry.

Who says Shakespeare's Taming of the Shrew can't be remade as a 2003 rom-com featuring Gabrielle Union with a personality disorder and LL Cool J in bondage? Chelsea Davison, Elena Crevello, and Rochée Jeffrey talk about the wild sexist ride that is Deliver Us From Eva. Rochée Jeffrey is our guest this week!

| 13 Nov 2024 | Pretty Woman: Let's Talk About Piano Sex | 01:05:36 | |

This week we "go troppo" for the 2023 rom com hit, Anyone But You starring Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell. Special guest Alex Levy joins the pod as we dig into whether butter should be cut from the middle of the pat, how grilled cheese sandwich making IS foreplay, and why you CANNOT get chlamydia from a koala. Fascinating stuff. Also romantic comedy fave, Dermot Mulroney, graces us with his presence in this movie and this may or may not cause Elena to go into an existential spiral about aging. If you love Natasha Beddingfield's Unwritten, the scenic wonder that is Australia, and fingers in the butt, then this episode is for you!

Join us as we discuss Alan Rickman as a love interest, and whether you'd get down with Snape or nah, Keira Knightley's creepy love triangle and how we romanticized stalking in the aughts, and why Colin Firth can always GET IT. And of course we dive fully into Hugh Grant's storyline with his not so subtly Monica Lewinsky coded love interest, Natalie. And we aren't afraid to say it: WE WANT MORE FOR LAURA LINNEY'S CHARACTER!

This week we are joined by special guest Ashley Nicole Black (Shrinking, Bad Monkey, Ted Lasso, A Black Lady Sketch Show) to cover another Christmas rom-com classic, "Last Holiday" starring Queen Latifah and LL Cool J. Join us as we discuss LL Cool J's arms, Queen Latifah's charms, and why we aren't buying her as a sad down on her luck "spinster"! Other take aways from Last Holiday: all billionaires are bad, base jumping is not for us, Giancarlo Esposito can get it, and Hotel Pupp is a real place and yes, it's pronounced "poop". If you love manifestation, small Eastern European towns and commiserating over America's broken healthcare system, then this movie is for you!

This week we cover Lindsay Lohan's new Christmas banger, Our Little Secret, out now on Netflix! We discuss what a dream Kristin Chenoweth is, why this movie makes us want to go to church, and whether surprise parties are a YAY or a NAY! Lindsay Lohan really shines in this romantic comedy and we get a glimpse of the girl we've all knew and loved from Mean Girls. And her hand lotion acting is impeccable. Not to mention the great cast from Tim Meadows, to Chris Parnell, to Ian Harding, to Judy Reyes! But does it hit the mark? Or fall short? You gotta listen to find out!

Today we discuss a VERY popular holiday rom-com, Nancy Meyers' The Holiday! It's an all star cast with Kate Winslet, Cameron Diaz, Jude Law and Jack Black - but do they have chemistry?! Would any of these couples really end up together or did we all just waste two hours and ten minutes of our lives?! Should Kate Winslet have dated Arthur, the old writer? We dive into all of this and more on this fresh episode, which is the last in our "Horny For The Holidays" bucket! Next week we will be back to our Wednesday release date and we'll be kicking off a new category: Love Vs Sports!

To kick things off in 2025, Podstruck skates into a new rom-com category: Sports Vs. Love. And for our first episode of the new year Chelsea Davison and Elena Crevello are joined by special guest Charlene deGuzman (Ted, Unloveable, I Forgot My Phone) to cover the 1992 Figure Skating movie, "The Cutting Edge" starring Moira Kelly and D. B. Sweeney. Join us as we discuss the incredibly well written script by Tony Gilroy, how many slow-mo shots are too many, whether you can really learn an Olympic sport in 3 months, who brushes their hair naked in front of a window, group kissing chains at New Year's Eve, and whether the Pamchenko is possible or would cause head trauma. If you like classic enemies to lovers romances, class divides, and strange little pencil mustaches, this is the movie for you!

Join us as we discuss the terrifying and charismatic acting of Tom Cruise, how the updo from Renée Zellweger inspired us, whether sports agents really are slimy, and why we desperately wanted a spin-off for Kelly Preston. And we aren't afraid to say it: we appreciated all the athletic locker room butts!

| 05 Mar 2025 | Say Anything: Don't Tell Your Dad You Had Sex | 01:13:25 | |
SUBCATEGORY: TOTALLY 80S TEENS! In honor of Ione Skye's new memoir "Say Everything," Podstruck is kicking off a whole month of romantic comedies from the 1980s starting with the highly influential 'Say Anything.' John Cusack plays the endearingly lost Lloyd who isn't sure of anything except his love for Diane Court, which he iconically professes via boombox. But does that moment live up to the hype? Chelsea Davison and Elena Crevello discuss, plus they share what Cameron Crowe said to get his lead actor on board, talk through why Ione Skye might have been miscast, and theorize that John Mahoney is playing the same character with a fresh start in 'Frasier.' And Chelsea shares some juicy tidbits from Ione Skye's juicy tell-all. If you miss big hair, big coats, and big financial secrets - this is the episode for you!

SUBCATEGORY: TOTALLY 80S TEENS! Ending our run of 80s classics is the John Hughes Molly Ringwald rom-com 'Pretty in Pink,' a movie that makes us question our own sense of fashion, wonder what is romantic vs. just being a sex pest, and think back to our high school delusions of people being in love with us. Our special guest is Lily Du (Dirty Laundry on Dropout) who imprinted on this movie and will defend it to the end. Is Andie a buzzkill? Is Andrew McCarthy still famous? Is Annie Potts the real protagonist? Is James Spader sexy or criminal? And why don't people touch things anymore? We answer all these and more in this episode of Podstruck.

| 01 Apr 2025 | How To Lose A Guy In Ten Days: Do You Need That Long? | 01:11:03 | |
ONE-OFF CATEGORY: MCCONAUGHEY GIRL HEYYY Instead of kicking off a new month of movies, Chelsea and Elena instead look back at the movie they covered as their original Podstruck pilot episode - "How To Lose A Guy In Ten Days." Having just read Matthew McConaughey's memoir 'Greenlights' for the Glamorous Trash Podcast, they're armed with new insight as they dive into this 2003 battle of the sexes rom-com starring Kate Hudson, Kathryn Hahn, and of course Matthew McConaughey. We debate whether the big swings and cringey moments are too uncomfortable or if it all comes together in a hilarious, beautiful package... with charmingly thin lips. Plus it's one of the rare movies we've covered with a largely female creative team. Get ready to be transported back to the early aughts in good ways, bad ways, and with so many halter-tops.
