Elena Crevello & Chelsea Davison
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. Get bonus Meet Cutie content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

The Proposal: Is Blackmail Romantic? (with Margaret Kaminski)
Is blackmail the answer to getting a green card AND love?!

Practical Magic: All Women Are Magical
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.Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/podstruckpod/Follow us on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@podstruckpodcastCheck out our Patreon and vote on Meet Cutie Perks: https://www.patreon.com/c/Podstruckpod Get bonus Meet Cutie content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.
