RomComoisseurs Podcast

Julia Roberts and Richard Gere reunite in 'Runaway Bride' (1999), with Joan Cusack and, in an uncredited role, Laurie Metcalf! We didn't get into Laurie Metcalf on the podcast, but we did talk a lot about Christopher Meloni and his sports metaphors and which of Maggie Carpenter's ex-fiancés best represents us as people. Come for the discussion of Garry Marshall hallmarks (warm supporting characters! Zany establishing shots!), stay for the mockery of David Brooks.

Julia Roberts plays a movie star and Hugh Grant plays a bumbling Englishman in the 1999 Richard Curtis-written film that dares to ask the question, "Stars: are they just like us?"

We continue our Julia Roberts series with 1997's 'My Best Friend's Wedding' about a charming sociopath (Julia Roberts) in love with a man (Dermot Mulroney) who's engaged to a woman too young to legally drink.

Week 1 of the Julia Robert series! In 'Pretty Woman' (1990), Julia Roberts plays a "prostitute with a heart of gold" (that's really how the character is described on Wikipedia) who falls in love with Richard Gere as businessman Edward in a male fantasy disguised as a female fantasy.

Is Andie Anderson a sociopath? Is Barry terrible at his job? Does Andie know anything about Tajikistan? All these questions and more will be answered.

Dana and Max do a deep dive into the 1998 Nora Ephron classic, 'You've Got Mail' starring Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks, but mostly Parker Posey.
