S3E24.5 What Women Want

It would be funny if the movie was actually trans-inclusive and he was able to read trans-womens minds too, but they just never acknowledge that they are trans.

So, November's comment about romance being "how hard can they punch me" kind of reminds me of a trans woman I knew in Aberystwyth who at the time went by the name of Alice. The person I'm talking about, when leaving Aberystwyth, basically said that she was going to have to go back deep into the closet for reasons. I don't know if November is the person I'm talking about, and I don't want an answer on here, but if she is, I'd just like to say I'm glad she was able to escape the closet once more.

keir starmer looking respectfully

sluts arent real??? noooo!!!!

Coming from November and Riley discussing Echopraxia to this gives some *very* different meaning to the two office cougars not having internal monologues he can read

I’m sorry that it’s cliche and probably hard to do bc it’s such a new movie but we will need the bonus episode on I Saw The TV Glow plz thank you

Holy shit, I started with episode one last August and finally caught up today! Looking forward to the upcoming fames heist season and all that it entails <3

I'm not saying that Keir Starmer needs to become a recurring character, but it would be appreciated because the impressions are good.

Professor XXX

I haven't seen this movie in probably 20 years, because my mom has a crush on Mel Gibson and I do not.. But I remember this movie being both intriguing and uncomfortable, and I'm starting to realize why. I also had a massive panic attack in my car after watching I Saw The TV Glow and only calmed down when I bought a binder online. That's probably nothing, right?

I am also an absolute sucker for ‘The Homer Simpson school of father of daughtersing’ plot lines

The milkshake jog is actually my personal worst nightmare and I think I would have combusted on the spot.

Oh gosh a summer of love with not just the wonderful world of romcoms but some absolutely classic romance films that make people cry like Death Takes A Holiday and People Will Talk would be so exciting

Ah yes, the 00's pc homophobia-loophole. You can be as homophobic as you like, JUST AS LONG as the person you're being homophobic about isn't ACTUALLY gay.

for the record I believe my mother had a crush on him as a teenager but I think he just looks okay. So I think his sex appeal is a "you had to be there" moment.

Listening to Abi and Nove rhapsodize about the housing, I kept wanting to edit in a comment about how common people didn't live in those places in 2000 either. It's a Nancy Meyers movie. All of them have architecture porn*! *Particularly kitchens.

Every woman in the movie is miserable and pissed off, except for the two cougar bimbos who have achieved Nirvana

One thing that I love about this podcast is how y’all still mention enjoying things that are still not politically correct. It’s a rare showing of nuance and “I acknowledge its faults but still can get enjoyment out of it” that feels like the world is lacking more and more. Also. If Summer of Love is on the table I once again submit The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas, there’s a lot to say about Burt Reynolds’ character in regards to how he treats Dolly Parton and the Chicken Ranch itself. Or rather, lack of addressing it that’s fascinating in and of itself.

Between this, and James spaders character in the American office, I actually love polo shirt under suit jacket look. Hell, I think James spaders character actually had a collarless shirt with just those three buttons at the top.

I like how the first joke at IStTVG's expense got a genuine laugh out of Abi, the second joke passed without comment, and the third joke got Abi audibly annoyed at Alice. That is the correct progression!

A great companion piece to this would be Forty Days and Forty Nights

If the women simply plugged the controller in the player two slot to avoid this.

Summer of 💕love would be amazing!!

Desperately Seeking Susan is the best rom com adjacent film of all time. It's also about a thousand times more progressive than this one and set in proper New York. Please please include it in any summer of love. I love you all.

Romance suggestion for insight into GenX masculinity: Say Anything.

Re-upping my hope that you cover Tootsie one day, it's about gender AND acting!

I was waiting for the "She's transsexual" drop the whole damn time, much respect for resisting the temptation I wouldn't have. I am once again waving a huge banner that simply reads C.R.A.Z.Y. by Jean-Marc Vallée. I swear it's a good film! It has so much to say about Québec's stoic masculinity/father archetype, catholic guilt over one's sexuality, shame over a child's "feminine traits and emotions", growing up with multiple siblings and the straining of relationships, it's just. So good. If you don't like it and I make a fool of myself I'll send you more money or something.

the Liv Agar bit is like a t-slur-seeking missile

Thank you for watching a movie I've always avoided and explaining it to me.

It was a funny bit but if y’all feel the need to censor whatever slur you used, you probably shouldn’t be throwing it out there in the first place

Praying for Portrait of a lady on fire in the kill James Bond summer of love

here's what god would look like if she were black or chinese

Gosh Romance Season and what romance says about men! Gotta include shit like Hitch and Wedding Crashers, maybe Ghosts of Girlfriends Past? Don't know if I'd suggest 27 Dresses or if I'd suggest a whole Katherine Heigl season lol.

I may have overlooked it, but has the Kingsman series been covered?

I hate to say it but I now kinda want to see this movie more than I saw the TV glow lol

ever thought about doing The Boys from Brazil?

"I should wear bigger underpants and stop being a slut" Baby steps abigail.

Really would love to see Romance Season discuss 13 Going On 30, an inexplicable film that had a grip on my teen pre-transition self

I have to say, most times when I've seen a romcom I never understand who would fuck the guy in it. Like have you seen and Dean Martin films? The man was made of baseball gloves, yet women went nuts over him? Incomprehensible.

Masters of our domain crossover

This was one of the, like, five movies we owned when I was a kid. Mask of Zorro was one of the other ones.

gotta do the 2019 sequel, What Men Want, next. In the name of gender equality.

oh my god this fucking movie lmao

GIRLS' NIGHT!!!
