1 week ago

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.

Always Be My Maybe: All Hail Keanu (with Alex Song-Xia)

CATEGORY: BFFS WHO ARE DTF

This week we are joined by comedian Alex Song-Xia (The Tonight Show, Rick & Morty, Praise Petey) to cover the next rom-com in our BFFs Who Are DTF bucket, "Always Be My Maybe." This movie has an all-star cast with Ali Wong, Randall Park, Michelle Buteau, and an Oscar worthy cameo by Keanu Reeves! We cover whether Randall Park's character is even worthy of Ali Wong's, the perks of being a latchkey kid, and how de-aging actors is a delicate dance between believability and just making them look like a narc. Plus we'll dive into whether being in your high school band well into your thirties is a good idea or not, why Sasha Tran is opening so many restaurants and how that might not be a good idea in 2019, and debate whether buying all your boyfriend's merch to make him feel better about himself is a good move or not. Join us for a movie that took us on a real rollercoaster of emotions! And yes, Alex did cry!
