Some of them you have 15 00:00:54,394 --> 00:00:56,594 Speaker 2: heard of.

I really got a flogging in this episode. 26 00:01:18,554 --> 00:01:20,354 Speaker 2: I think I might have blacked that out that whole 27 00:01:20,394 --> 00:01:23,754 Speaker 2: conversation because I can't. I can't deal with girl so 28 00:01:23,794 --> 00:01:27,034 Speaker 2: disappointed and I still am.

What 45 00:02:11,554 --> 00:02:15,194 Speaker 2: is a fun, frivolous Friday episode about love and romance 46 00:02:15,354 --> 00:02:16,354 Speaker 2: without some rules. 47 00:02:16,594 --> 00:02:18,634 Speaker 1: Yeah, rules is what I bring to know. We're about 48 00:02:18,674 --> 00:02:20,754 Speaker 1: to say, I'm about to say, Laura will now come 49 00:02:20,794 --> 00:02:22,074 Speaker 1: in with her rules. 50 00:02:21,794 --> 00:02:24,074 Speaker 2: Because this is what you want from a pop culture podcast. No, 51 00:02:24,114 --> 00:02:25,994 Speaker 2: not just to define things. So obviously we were talking 52 00:02:26,034 --> 00:02:29,194 Speaker 2: about TV romantic comedies because, as you would have heard 53 00:02:29,314 --> 00:02:32,154 Speaker 2: in our wee can Watch episode this morning, Lena Dunham's 54 00:02:32,154 --> 00:02:34,714 Speaker 2: new rom com has just come out on Netflix Too Much. 55 00:02:35,154 --> 00:02:37,074 Speaker 2: Even though it's a rom comm and a drama, Lena 56 00:02:37,114 --> 00:02:40,474 Speaker 2: Dunham said her catalyst for making the show was as 57 00:02:40,554 --> 00:02:43,594 Speaker 2: a bit of a love letter to the romantic comedies 58 00:02:43,714 --> 00:02:46,154 Speaker 2: she grew up watching in all the movies that she loved, 59 00:02:46,554 --> 00:02:48,874 Speaker 2: and so that got me thinking that we always talk 60 00:02:48,914 --> 00:02:53,274 Speaker 2: about romantic comedy movies, and obviously there's so many incredible 61 00:02:53,394 --> 00:02:56,394 Speaker 2: romantic comedy movies out there, but I feel like we 62 00:02:56,514 --> 00:02:59,514 Speaker 2: don't talk enough about romantic comedy TV shows and they 63 00:02:59,554 --> 00:03:02,114 Speaker 2: are also very, very important. So that's what we're going 64 00:03:02,154 --> 00:03:04,754 Speaker 2: to do today. So we've defined a romantic comedy TV 65 00:03:04,874 --> 00:03:08,754 Speaker 2: show as obviously something that is a that has lightness 66 00:03:08,794 --> 00:03:12,234 Speaker 2: and frothiness to it, but something where the love story 67 00:03:12,714 --> 00:03:15,554 Speaker 2: is the central driving part of the show. And it 68 00:03:15,674 --> 00:03:18,554 Speaker 2: is the end game, and you do get that love 69 00:03:18,594 --> 00:03:21,234 Speaker 2: story payoff at the end. So that is how we're 70 00:03:21,274 --> 00:03:23,114 Speaker 2: defining a romantic comedy TV show. 71 00:03:23,314 --> 00:03:26,034 Speaker 1: Okay, I'm going to start with one that is on 72 00:03:26,114 --> 00:03:28,594 Speaker 1: the newer side. It only came out last year on Netflix. 73 00:03:28,674 --> 00:03:29,394 Speaker 1: Nobody wants this. 74 00:03:29,514 --> 00:03:32,634 Speaker 2: Never heard of it except for the fifteen podcasts WED. 75 00:03:33,394 --> 00:03:34,914 Speaker 1: I know we've talked about it a lot, so we 76 00:03:34,954 --> 00:03:36,554 Speaker 1: don't have to go too much into it because I 77 00:03:36,554 --> 00:03:39,234 Speaker 1: know probably everyone's over it. But it would be remiss 78 00:03:39,274 --> 00:03:41,234 Speaker 1: if I didn't mention it because I think it fits 79 00:03:41,274 --> 00:03:41,794 Speaker 1: the genre. 80 00:03:41,994 --> 00:03:43,434 Speaker 2: What did you love about it? That's what we've never 81 00:03:43,434 --> 00:03:44,434 Speaker 2: talked about this before. 82 00:03:44,354 --> 00:03:48,314 Speaker 1: We haven't. I really loved the comedy. I liked the 83 00:03:48,354 --> 00:03:51,834 Speaker 1: cross cultural development of a love story that's not like 84 00:03:51,874 --> 00:03:56,274 Speaker 1: a typical love story, and something centered around religion. It's 85 00:03:56,314 --> 00:03:59,714 Speaker 1: not something that we really see very often, this agnostic 86 00:03:59,954 --> 00:04:04,034 Speaker 1: woman going for this Jewish rabbi. I just thought it 87 00:04:04,074 --> 00:04:06,674 Speaker 1: was a really interesting take. I also really liked the 88 00:04:06,674 --> 00:04:10,114 Speaker 1: sidecat like go Good. One of my favorite characters is 89 00:04:10,434 --> 00:04:13,634 Speaker 1: Sasha played by Timothy Simons. I don't know if you 90 00:04:13,634 --> 00:04:16,594 Speaker 1: ever watched Veep. Did you watch Veab? Yes, he was 91 00:04:16,594 --> 00:04:19,313 Speaker 1: in Vape. He was Jonah in Vain and it's just 92 00:04:19,474 --> 00:04:22,914 Speaker 1: he's such a great character. He's so funny. And the 93 00:04:22,993 --> 00:04:24,633 Speaker 1: new season is coming out in October. 94 00:04:24,873 --> 00:04:26,793 Speaker 2: Oh, yes, our calendars are marked. 95 00:04:26,953 --> 00:04:28,634 Speaker 1: Yes, so we don't have long to wait for season two. 96 00:04:28,714 --> 00:04:32,914 Speaker 1: But I think in terms of fitting your rules, it 97 00:04:32,993 --> 00:04:34,393 Speaker 1: really yep nails it. 98 00:04:34,393 --> 00:04:34,993 Speaker 2: It really does. 99 00:04:35,073 --> 00:04:37,954 Speaker 1: Yes. The other one that I wanted to do is 100 00:04:38,433 --> 00:04:41,713 Speaker 1: one that is a bit older. It wrapped filming in 101 00:04:41,834 --> 00:04:44,274 Speaker 1: twenty eighteen, and it's New Girl. 102 00:04:44,633 --> 00:04:47,714 Speaker 2: My god, New Girl is just one of my ultimate 103 00:04:47,753 --> 00:04:50,513 Speaker 2: comfort watches. But I think what it doesn't get enough credit. 104 00:04:50,753 --> 00:04:52,914 Speaker 2: Maybe it does, but like the hardcore fans know that 105 00:04:52,953 --> 00:04:55,633 Speaker 2: as much as that is an incredible ensemble comedy, it's 106 00:04:55,674 --> 00:04:59,393 Speaker 2: the love story that is so perfectly done. Romantic comedy 107 00:04:59,393 --> 00:05:01,753 Speaker 2: writers dream of a love story. 108 00:05:01,513 --> 00:05:03,873 Speaker 1: Like that, and you know that there's all these stories 109 00:05:03,914 --> 00:05:08,513 Speaker 1: about so. Elizabeth Merriweather created the show and during the 110 00:05:08,553 --> 00:05:12,233 Speaker 1: early episodes, Zoey Deschanel and Jake Johnson, who played Yessca 111 00:05:12,274 --> 00:05:14,714 Speaker 1: Day and Nick Miller, weren't actually allowed to do too 112 00:05:14,753 --> 00:05:18,513 Speaker 1: many scenes together because their chemistry was too good. I 113 00:05:18,553 --> 00:05:20,914 Speaker 1: love it. I love it so much, and they just 114 00:05:21,034 --> 00:05:24,914 Speaker 1: hit it off straight away and you know, obviously a 115 00:05:24,914 --> 00:05:26,993 Speaker 1: lot of the time with these kind of sick comy shows, 116 00:05:27,553 --> 00:05:30,474 Speaker 1: that relationship develops, but it really is from the very beginning. 117 00:05:30,513 --> 00:05:33,954 Speaker 1: You can see that there is chemistry between the two films. 118 00:05:34,553 --> 00:05:37,993 Speaker 1: And again it's just so funny. It's so silly. The 119 00:05:38,034 --> 00:05:43,313 Speaker 1: guy who plays Winston Bishop like Lemonne's, Yeah, he's so funny. 120 00:05:43,354 --> 00:05:46,754 Speaker 1: Like as he grows it gets quirkier. But my favorite 121 00:05:46,794 --> 00:05:52,514 Speaker 1: is definitely Schmidt Max Greenfield. Just how during the pandemic 122 00:05:52,513 --> 00:05:55,513 Speaker 1: with his daughter those funny TikTok He is hilarious. 123 00:05:55,513 --> 00:05:57,393 Speaker 2: I loved him in Running Point as well recently, but 124 00:05:57,433 --> 00:05:59,073 Speaker 2: I just I just will find him like the hottest 125 00:05:59,073 --> 00:06:02,354 Speaker 2: man ever. Also, Veronica Mars fans know him as Leo, 126 00:06:02,714 --> 00:06:04,313 Speaker 2: but he is so good at that show. 127 00:06:04,393 --> 00:06:07,354 Speaker 1: So yeah, he was gonna quick acting before he did this, I. 128 00:06:07,313 --> 00:06:09,313 Speaker 2: Know, and this is the role that really gave him 129 00:06:09,393 --> 00:06:10,433 Speaker 2: his new stardom. 130 00:06:10,873 --> 00:06:13,553 Speaker 1: But yeah, my favorite like bit that they do throughout 131 00:06:13,594 --> 00:06:15,394 Speaker 1: the series, and it's not part of the love story, 132 00:06:15,433 --> 00:06:17,433 Speaker 1: but I'm a bit of a comedy fan. Yeah, my 133 00:06:17,474 --> 00:06:19,514 Speaker 1: favorite bit that they do is the douchebag job. 134 00:06:19,953 --> 00:06:22,113 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, and how they stomp it at the 135 00:06:22,154 --> 00:06:25,153 Speaker 2: wedding it's so funny. Damn it. 136 00:06:25,234 --> 00:06:28,674 Speaker 1: I can't find my driving moccasins anywhere all the way. 137 00:06:28,674 --> 00:06:32,794 Speaker 2: He says, you's youth everywhere? Are you? I quote shimd 138 00:06:32,794 --> 00:06:34,274 Speaker 2: a lot, which doesn't really fit in with my day 139 00:06:34,313 --> 00:06:37,193 Speaker 2: to day life. I quote you weird. So it's just 140 00:06:37,234 --> 00:06:41,073 Speaker 2: he've got a quote for everything, or at least weird. 141 00:06:41,873 --> 00:06:45,834 Speaker 1: He's so funny. Anyway, That is kind of my favorite. 142 00:06:45,873 --> 00:06:48,394 Speaker 1: That's on Disney Plus now you can watch all seasons. 143 00:06:48,433 --> 00:06:50,313 Speaker 2: And it's such a good rewatch too. We watch it 144 00:06:50,313 --> 00:06:52,273 Speaker 2: every couple of years. It really holds up. 145 00:06:52,354 --> 00:06:55,354 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a great rewatch. It's just fun. It's cozy, 146 00:06:55,474 --> 00:06:56,074 Speaker 1: it's easy. 147 00:06:56,513 --> 00:06:56,674 Speaker 2: Now. 148 00:06:56,674 --> 00:07:00,073 Speaker 1: The last one is a really obvious one. But I 149 00:07:00,113 --> 00:07:04,074 Speaker 1: have a confession. I've never seen it. It's Emily in Paris. 150 00:07:03,794 --> 00:07:06,193 Speaker 2: Get out of here. Well you know what I'd rather 151 00:07:06,274 --> 00:07:09,593 Speaker 2: you say I haven't seen it, then say it's bad, 152 00:07:10,074 --> 00:07:12,754 Speaker 2: I hate it or I don't understand it. For those 153 00:07:12,794 --> 00:07:15,273 Speaker 2: people who say I don't understand it, what is there 154 00:07:15,274 --> 00:07:18,354 Speaker 2: to understand, it's a pretty basic plot point and a 155 00:07:18,354 --> 00:07:21,634 Speaker 2: pretty basic promise anyway. Obviously, I really love Italy in Paris, 156 00:07:21,674 --> 00:07:23,273 Speaker 2: not even in it. I don't hate watch anything I 157 00:07:23,314 --> 00:07:25,514 Speaker 2: only love watch. So I really like it and you 158 00:07:25,514 --> 00:07:26,673 Speaker 2: can continue. What's it about? 159 00:07:26,794 --> 00:07:28,994 Speaker 1: Okay? So this is, like I guess, it's about a 160 00:07:29,034 --> 00:07:29,994 Speaker 1: girl who's. 161 00:07:31,194 --> 00:07:32,713 Speaker 2: Actually what you think it's about. 162 00:07:32,714 --> 00:07:36,074 Speaker 1: Okay. She's a marketing chick in I'm guessing New York, 163 00:07:36,234 --> 00:07:39,593 Speaker 1: Chicago probably, yeah, Chicago. And then she flies over to 164 00:07:39,634 --> 00:07:41,194 Speaker 1: Paris because she gets a job over there. 165 00:07:41,794 --> 00:07:43,554 Speaker 2: She's transferred by her company yep. 166 00:07:43,434 --> 00:07:46,593 Speaker 1: Okay, because they wanted to have like an American lens on, 167 00:07:46,874 --> 00:07:49,473 Speaker 1: like the Perisian life. Yeah, she goes over there, and 168 00:07:49,514 --> 00:07:52,714 Speaker 1: then she meets downstairs from her house is a really 169 00:07:52,714 --> 00:07:56,114 Speaker 1: hot guy and he's French. She's in ridiculous outfits and 170 00:07:56,434 --> 00:08:01,114 Speaker 1: high hills and it's very glamorous. Yes, yeah, that's it. 171 00:08:01,234 --> 00:08:02,074 Speaker 1: That's the story. 172 00:08:02,474 --> 00:08:04,913 Speaker 2: I mean, that is kind of the story part. That's 173 00:08:05,034 --> 00:08:07,793 Speaker 2: what it's meant to be. Like, I just find Emily 174 00:08:07,794 --> 00:08:10,474 Speaker 2: and Paris is just so beautiful to watch. It does 175 00:08:10,754 --> 00:08:14,434 Speaker 2: really pre I think you would really like it, Like, yes, 176 00:08:14,754 --> 00:08:17,273 Speaker 2: there's some silliness to it, but it's meant to be 177 00:08:17,314 --> 00:08:19,874 Speaker 2: a silly caper. It's also not meant to be for 178 00:08:19,914 --> 00:08:21,834 Speaker 2: French people. They would never watch it. I think most 179 00:08:21,834 --> 00:08:24,153 Speaker 2: of them don't even know it exists. It's for the 180 00:08:24,194 --> 00:08:25,194 Speaker 2: basic girls like us. 181 00:08:25,314 --> 00:08:28,273 Speaker 1: No, but I love Paris and I pride myself on 182 00:08:28,354 --> 00:08:29,234 Speaker 1: being very Prosian. 183 00:08:29,554 --> 00:08:35,114 Speaker 2: No wit okay, no, no, you can love Paris. Also, 184 00:08:35,594 --> 00:08:38,954 Speaker 2: her version of Paris is obviously like an American idealized 185 00:08:38,994 --> 00:08:42,514 Speaker 2: fantasy to an extent. But whenever I go to Paris, 186 00:08:42,514 --> 00:08:44,634 Speaker 2: I don't think of Emily in Paris like they're two 187 00:08:44,714 --> 00:08:46,634 Speaker 2: kinds of stepend things, except for the fact that she 188 00:08:46,714 --> 00:08:49,154 Speaker 2: goes around to a lot of the very touristy sides 189 00:08:49,194 --> 00:08:51,634 Speaker 2: and loves them. And I also feel that's what you 190 00:08:51,714 --> 00:08:53,354 Speaker 2: do when you go to Paris for the first time, 191 00:08:53,394 --> 00:08:55,114 Speaker 2: and there's no shame in that. There's no shame in 192 00:08:55,154 --> 00:08:58,114 Speaker 2: seeing the Eiffel Tower or the Louver or something and 193 00:08:58,154 --> 00:09:01,194 Speaker 2: getting excited, because that's fine when you see that for 194 00:09:01,234 --> 00:09:03,674 Speaker 2: the first time, you should be excited. Otherwise you're dead inside. 195 00:09:03,874 --> 00:09:06,834 Speaker 2: Do There's a thing called Paris syndrome where people go 196 00:09:06,874 --> 00:09:09,434 Speaker 2: to Paris with such high expectations and when they go 197 00:09:09,554 --> 00:09:12,194 Speaker 2: outside of some of the city centers and they see 198 00:09:12,354 --> 00:09:14,354 Speaker 2: the rubbish and they see the normal houses, people have 199 00:09:14,394 --> 00:09:18,234 Speaker 2: been hospitalized over Paris. That's a true act. Over Paris syndrome. 200 00:09:18,274 --> 00:09:21,354 Speaker 2: Because the shock and the disappointment of this world that 201 00:09:21,354 --> 00:09:22,954 Speaker 2: they built up is not there anymore. 202 00:09:22,954 --> 00:09:25,314 Speaker 1: Are you kidding? Paris is my favorite city. I love 203 00:09:25,354 --> 00:09:26,354 Speaker 1: Paris so much so. 204 00:09:26,434 --> 00:09:27,994 Speaker 2: Paris is also I mean, I know it's one of 205 00:09:27,994 --> 00:09:29,634 Speaker 2: my favorite city street no one's ever said that before, 206 00:09:29,754 --> 00:09:31,314 Speaker 2: But I guess there are parts of it that don't 207 00:09:31,314 --> 00:09:32,074 Speaker 2: look like Paris. 208 00:09:32,194 --> 00:09:34,354 Speaker 1: Well. I think if you're going look outskirts of Paris 209 00:09:34,474 --> 00:09:36,954 Speaker 1: is very different to being in like where the Shaws is, 210 00:09:37,074 --> 00:09:40,794 Speaker 1: and it's like very bougie and expensive. Obviously, if you're 211 00:09:40,794 --> 00:09:45,354 Speaker 1: going into the you know, outer our endorsements, it's a 212 00:09:45,354 --> 00:09:47,754 Speaker 1: bit different, you know. I think it's a point of 213 00:09:47,794 --> 00:09:51,274 Speaker 1: pride for me that I haven't seen it because twenty 214 00:09:51,594 --> 00:09:54,034 Speaker 1: to twenty twenty five it's had so much hype and 215 00:09:54,194 --> 00:09:56,874 Speaker 1: the fact that I've gone this long without watching it, I. 216 00:09:56,834 --> 00:10:00,434 Speaker 2: Can't start now. I unders no, I don't understand that 217 00:10:00,474 --> 00:10:02,634 Speaker 2: at all. I just think that if you want to 218 00:10:02,674 --> 00:10:07,034 Speaker 2: watch it and it's this lovely, frothy, romantic comedy esque 219 00:10:07,114 --> 00:10:09,394 Speaker 2: TV show, you should just watch it. That's not that 220 00:10:09,474 --> 00:10:11,114 Speaker 2: if I'm like, that's not the thing to kind of 221 00:10:11,114 --> 00:10:13,034 Speaker 2: get hung up on, is all I would say. Some 222 00:10:13,074 --> 00:10:15,474 Speaker 2: people don't like it because I think it's silly, and like, yes, 223 00:10:15,514 --> 00:10:17,634 Speaker 2: it is silly. It's also not meant to be a drama. 224 00:10:17,754 --> 00:10:21,594 Speaker 1: I don't mind silly. I like like feel good silly. 225 00:10:21,714 --> 00:10:23,674 Speaker 2: It's my favorite. I'm really being on having like very 226 00:10:23,714 --> 00:10:26,154 Speaker 2: kind of soothing TV shows, especially that I watch like 227 00:10:26,194 --> 00:10:28,194 Speaker 2: Saturday and Sunday morning.

Okay. 252 00:11:29,634 --> 00:11:31,314 Speaker 2: So the first one I wanted to bring up is 253 00:11:31,314 --> 00:11:33,994 Speaker 2: a show that I absolutely fell in love with when 254 00:11:33,994 --> 00:11:37,674 Speaker 2: it came out back in twenty and nineteen. And it's 255 00:11:37,674 --> 00:11:41,474 Speaker 2: a really beautiful rom com series called Four Weddings and 256 00:11:41,514 --> 00:11:46,314 Speaker 2: a Funeral, like the Yeah Grant movie. Yeah, like the 257 00:11:46,434 --> 00:11:48,674 Speaker 2: very very famous movie Hugh Grants. I know you're gonna say, 258 00:11:48,674 --> 00:11:51,874 Speaker 2: but Laura, that's a movie. Well, Mindy Kayling, Mindy Kaling. 259 00:11:52,154 --> 00:11:54,114 Speaker 2: It's like I'm on the defensive today. I'm like, no 260 00:11:54,114 --> 00:11:56,354 Speaker 2: one saying you think about rom comms. Mindy Kayling, one 261 00:11:56,394 --> 00:12:00,554 Speaker 2: of my very favorite TV actresses. Writers creators adapted the movie, 262 00:12:01,034 --> 00:12:03,474 Speaker 2: which was originally written by Richard Curtis, who, if you 263 00:12:03,514 --> 00:12:06,114 Speaker 2: look up that band's name, has written every big rom 264 00:12:06,114 --> 00:12:08,674 Speaker 2: com that we love. Here's the Godfather of rom Comms. 265 00:12:08,874 --> 00:12:11,594 Speaker 2: Mindy Kayling loves rom comms and she loved that movie, 266 00:12:11,634 --> 00:12:14,314 Speaker 2: and so she adapted into a TV series where the 267 00:12:14,354 --> 00:12:17,154 Speaker 2: overall premise is very the same, but it's different in 268 00:12:17,194 --> 00:12:19,354 Speaker 2: terms of like she switched the characters, and one of 269 00:12:19,354 --> 00:12:22,034 Speaker 2: the big switches is that there is now a female lead. 270 00:12:22,354 --> 00:12:25,594 Speaker 2: It's Natalie Emmanuel, who people would know from Game of Thrones, 271 00:12:25,674 --> 00:12:29,074 Speaker 2: Fast and Furious, that really hot vampire movie The Invitation. 272 00:12:29,634 --> 00:12:32,154 Speaker 2: She plays our league girl Maya, and she's an American, 273 00:12:32,154 --> 00:12:34,354 Speaker 2: but she ends up moving to London where her college 274 00:12:34,354 --> 00:12:36,794 Speaker 2: friends are, and it tells the story of these four 275 00:12:36,834 --> 00:12:40,994 Speaker 2: American friends, Maya, Craig, Ainslie and Duffy, and they reunite 276 00:12:40,994 --> 00:12:44,314 Speaker 2: for this very fabulous London wedding. Something happens, and then 277 00:12:44,354 --> 00:12:46,634 Speaker 2: it follows them over their lives of the next year 278 00:12:47,114 --> 00:12:49,634 Speaker 2: that tell all of their different love stories. And it's 279 00:12:49,634 --> 00:12:51,954 Speaker 2: just this beautiful, like if you just want to watch 280 00:12:52,074 --> 00:12:56,394 Speaker 2: something like really frothy and lovely with incredible dialogue that's 281 00:12:56,394 --> 00:12:58,674 Speaker 2: set in London, and it is really beautiful to watch. 282 00:12:58,714 --> 00:13:01,834 Speaker 2: The performances are so good. Mindy Kayling's script is like 283 00:13:02,074 --> 00:13:03,914 Speaker 2: ten out of ten and like, you don't have to 284 00:13:03,914 --> 00:13:06,354 Speaker 2: have seen Four Weddings in a Funeral, although you should watch. 285 00:13:06,354 --> 00:13:08,794 Speaker 1: That's right, what's it streaming on? 286 00:13:08,994 --> 00:13:11,034 Speaker 2: It's on Prime Video now. It wasn't when it came out, 287 00:13:11,074 --> 00:13:12,714 Speaker 2: so yeah, it came out so many years ago, and 288 00:13:12,794 --> 00:13:15,194 Speaker 2: anytime people messaged me because I had so many message 289 00:13:15,274 --> 00:13:17,594 Speaker 2: mostly from spillers on Instagram being like, oh my god, 290 00:13:17,634 --> 00:13:19,874 Speaker 2: laur it's Saturday and I need something to watch, and 291 00:13:19,914 --> 00:13:21,914 Speaker 2: they always want like often like it's just an easy 292 00:13:21,954 --> 00:13:24,274 Speaker 2: to watch TV show, and Four Wings in a Funeral 293 00:13:24,274 --> 00:13:26,594 Speaker 2: of the TV series is always top of my list 294 00:13:26,594 --> 00:13:28,434 Speaker 2: to send because I just know so many people haven't 295 00:13:28,434 --> 00:13:31,634 Speaker 2: watched it. So it's on Prime video so worth watching. 296 00:13:33,074 --> 00:13:35,114 Speaker 2: The next one I wanted to recommend, since we're talking 297 00:13:35,154 --> 00:13:38,554 Speaker 2: about Mindy Kaling, is the MINDI Project. Have you seen it? 298 00:13:38,594 --> 00:13:40,954 Speaker 1: I have seen it, Oh my god, so much. 299 00:13:40,994 --> 00:13:41,554 Speaker 2: You've seen it? 300 00:13:41,634 --> 00:13:44,354 Speaker 1: Yeah, you've only seen a couple of episodes. I have 301 00:13:44,474 --> 00:13:46,834 Speaker 1: not like super deep into us, but I do love 302 00:13:46,874 --> 00:13:49,554 Speaker 1: her finding out her whole history on the office and 303 00:13:49,554 --> 00:13:51,754 Speaker 1: how she's a writer with bj Novak and like that 304 00:13:52,434 --> 00:13:56,354 Speaker 1: her whole law is so great. She is incredible and 305 00:13:56,394 --> 00:13:58,874 Speaker 1: she's so funny in the office and I love I 306 00:13:58,954 --> 00:14:01,114 Speaker 1: do really like the MINDI Project. I just I don't 307 00:14:01,114 --> 00:14:03,154 Speaker 1: have a lot of time. This is the great thing 308 00:14:03,154 --> 00:14:05,114 Speaker 1: about working with you is I just put all of 309 00:14:05,154 --> 00:14:08,314 Speaker 1: these things in my mind. Yeah, and one day you 310 00:14:08,394 --> 00:14:10,994 Speaker 1: book a mind box yeah, also known as brain yeah, 311 00:14:11,074 --> 00:14:11,594 Speaker 1: but for you. 312 00:14:11,554 --> 00:14:12,234 Speaker 2: It's a mind box. 313 00:14:12,354 --> 00:14:13,554 Speaker 1: Today it's a mind box. 314 00:14:14,354 --> 00:14:17,634 Speaker 2: So the MINDI Project, yes, it was created, written and 315 00:14:17,754 --> 00:14:20,994 Speaker 2: starring Mindy Kayling. And again I don't say this slightly. 316 00:14:21,114 --> 00:14:23,354 Speaker 2: It is one of the funniest TV shows I have 317 00:14:23,474 --> 00:14:26,434 Speaker 2: ever seen. But also it's very romantic comedy centered. So 318 00:14:26,754 --> 00:14:31,114 Speaker 2: Mindy Kayling grew up loving romantic comedies, but she always 319 00:14:31,114 --> 00:14:32,754 Speaker 2: thought there was no one who looks like her as 320 00:14:32,794 --> 00:14:35,834 Speaker 2: a woman of Indian descent on these shows or movies 321 00:14:35,914 --> 00:14:37,634 Speaker 2: or anything like that. So that was her goal to 322 00:14:37,714 --> 00:14:41,074 Speaker 2: write a rom com where she could play the lead character, 323 00:14:41,114 --> 00:14:43,314 Speaker 2: and she could live in the beautiful New York apartment, 324 00:14:43,354 --> 00:14:45,834 Speaker 2: and she could wear the beautiful clothes, and she could 325 00:14:45,914 --> 00:14:48,714 Speaker 2: run through the streets and have these wild romantic escapades 326 00:14:48,714 --> 00:14:50,554 Speaker 2: with men. So it is that, but it's also a 327 00:14:50,594 --> 00:14:52,834 Speaker 2: bit of a send up of those tropes. What's also 328 00:14:52,874 --> 00:14:55,754 Speaker 2: interesting is she plays a doctor because she made her 329 00:14:55,834 --> 00:14:58,554 Speaker 2: character just like a little bit insufferable in the funniest 330 00:14:58,554 --> 00:15:00,834 Speaker 2: way possible, and a little bit of a diva and 331 00:15:00,874 --> 00:15:03,074 Speaker 2: a little bit just like ridiculous. But then she's also 332 00:15:03,114 --> 00:15:04,834 Speaker 2: a doctor so that you like her a little bit. 333 00:15:05,034 --> 00:15:07,914 Speaker 2: So it has all these incredible rom comm tropes to it. 334 00:15:07,914 --> 00:15:09,954 Speaker 2: It's very funny. But what I love is at the 335 00:15:10,034 --> 00:15:13,714 Speaker 2: central relationship between her and Danny, who's another doctor at 336 00:15:13,714 --> 00:15:17,074 Speaker 2: her practice, is based on the love story of Pride 337 00:15:17,114 --> 00:15:20,194 Speaker 2: and Prejudice. So it's based on like him being this 338 00:15:20,394 --> 00:15:25,034 Speaker 2: very gruff, unattainable person who like originally really doesn't like 339 00:15:25,034 --> 00:15:28,634 Speaker 2: her and things. Yeah, and then and then their relationship 340 00:15:28,754 --> 00:15:31,794 Speaker 2: really evolved. And again not to spoil it, but like 341 00:15:32,034 --> 00:15:33,434 Speaker 2: you know how like when you're watching a couple get 342 00:15:33,434 --> 00:15:35,354 Speaker 2: together and like you can tell it's gonna happen, and 343 00:15:35,354 --> 00:15:36,434 Speaker 2: it's building, and it's building. 344 00:15:36,474 --> 00:15:40,554 Speaker 1: We building like a hate to love story lovers hate 345 00:15:40,634 --> 00:15:42,994 Speaker 1: us to love it trop trope. 346 00:15:43,114 --> 00:15:45,394 Speaker 2: So good and like the build up and the moment 347 00:15:45,394 --> 00:15:47,474 Speaker 2: they actually get together is so worth the hype.

Yeah, 367 00:16:36,674 --> 00:16:39,514 Speaker 2: she's an incredible comedy actress. We're both from Townsville, so 368 00:16:39,634 --> 00:16:43,074 Speaker 2: you know connected. So in this show Colin from Accounts, 369 00:16:43,114 --> 00:16:45,714 Speaker 2: so yes, Patrick and Harriet together in real life. They 370 00:16:45,714 --> 00:16:49,794 Speaker 2: created the show together, and in it, Harriet plays called Ashley, 371 00:16:50,074 --> 00:16:52,474 Speaker 2: Patrick plays a man called Gordon, and they have this 372 00:16:52,594 --> 00:16:55,794 Speaker 2: incredible meat cute. So a meet cute is the moment 373 00:16:55,834 --> 00:16:59,034 Speaker 2: in the movie of how your two romantic leads will 374 00:16:59,074 --> 00:17:01,954 Speaker 2: meet and fall in love, So Colin from Accounts is 375 00:17:01,954 --> 00:17:04,434 Speaker 2: about that, but also what happens when it goes terribly wrong. 376 00:17:04,714 --> 00:17:07,513 Speaker 2: So in this you've got Gordon. He's driving his car along. 377 00:17:07,834 --> 00:17:11,073 Speaker 2: Harriet Dyer's character Ashley walks out in front of him 378 00:17:11,114 --> 00:17:13,714 Speaker 2: across the road and she sees him. They make eye contact. 379 00:17:13,834 --> 00:17:15,474 Speaker 2: It's a little bit cute and sexy, and then she 380 00:17:15,674 --> 00:17:18,553 Speaker 2: just flashes a boob, just a casual flash of the boob, 381 00:17:18,954 --> 00:17:20,513 Speaker 2: just to be a bit saucy and fun. And he 382 00:17:20,594 --> 00:17:23,514 Speaker 2: sees her and he gets so distracted that he runs 383 00:17:23,554 --> 00:17:26,394 Speaker 2: his car off the road and smashes into a dog, okay, 384 00:17:26,434 --> 00:17:28,714 Speaker 2: which terrifies them both, and so they both take this 385 00:17:28,794 --> 00:17:31,434 Speaker 2: dog to a clinic. His back legs are broken into 386 00:17:31,514 --> 00:17:33,634 Speaker 2: being one of those little dog wheely things. At the 387 00:17:33,674 --> 00:17:35,914 Speaker 2: premiere they had a dog and he wasn't the wheelly thing, 388 00:17:35,954 --> 00:17:37,794 Speaker 2: and I'm like, that's probably a good thing, because that 389 00:17:37,794 --> 00:17:40,394 Speaker 2: would have been very stressful for him. And then they 390 00:17:40,474 --> 00:17:42,354 Speaker 2: kind of have to come together to look after this dog, 391 00:17:42,714 --> 00:17:44,514 Speaker 2: and as they do that, they start to fall in love. 392 00:17:44,994 --> 00:17:47,594 Speaker 2: And it's just like such a funny. It's so Australian. Obviously, 393 00:17:47,594 --> 00:17:50,634 Speaker 2: because it's a strange show, but it's just so quintessentially Australian, 394 00:17:50,794 --> 00:17:53,394 Speaker 2: so funny. Their chemistry is amazing, obviously because they're married 395 00:17:53,434 --> 00:17:56,354 Speaker 2: with children, but it is again one of those shows 396 00:17:56,354 --> 00:17:57,914 Speaker 2: that I watch it and I just sit in my 397 00:17:57,954 --> 00:18:01,034 Speaker 2: apartment laughing out loud. But it's also really cute watching 398 00:18:01,114 --> 00:18:01,914 Speaker 2: them fall in love. 399 00:18:02,114 --> 00:18:04,034 Speaker 1: I mean, too great Aussie, because I actually really love 400 00:18:04,074 --> 00:18:05,634 Speaker 1: that you put an Aussie show in there. 401 00:18:06,114 --> 00:18:08,634 Speaker 2: I just feel like it's really defined what a really 402 00:18:08,714 --> 00:18:12,074 Speaker 2: modern rom com can be. So there's two seasons out 403 00:18:12,114 --> 00:18:14,874 Speaker 2: now they're on Binge. I would watch ten more seasons 404 00:18:14,874 --> 00:18:18,394 Speaker 2: of this show. Okay. The other one I wanted to do, Sorry, 405 00:18:18,394 --> 00:18:21,114 Speaker 2: I feel like this is just me, like this is the. 406 00:18:21,154 --> 00:18:24,234 Speaker 1: Laura show now, because Laura, you're so good at this stuff. 407 00:18:24,234 --> 00:18:26,513 Speaker 1: I just love defic I know you do, and I 408 00:18:26,554 --> 00:18:30,994 Speaker 1: love TV two, but you like always have the best recommendations. 409 00:18:31,154 --> 00:18:32,754 Speaker 2: I mean. The other thing is like it is my job, 410 00:18:32,794 --> 00:18:34,794 Speaker 2: so I have an extra incentive to do this, as 411 00:18:34,794 --> 00:18:37,273 Speaker 2: in it does keep my electricity on and food on 412 00:18:37,274 --> 00:18:40,313 Speaker 2: my table. So on that note, the other one I 413 00:18:40,314 --> 00:18:43,394 Speaker 2: wanted to bring up is Modern Love, which is actually 414 00:18:43,394 --> 00:18:46,114 Speaker 2: a romantic comedy anthology I don't know if you've seen 415 00:18:46,114 --> 00:18:49,034 Speaker 2: this one. It actually came out back in twenty nineteen. 416 00:18:49,114 --> 00:18:52,513 Speaker 2: There's two seasons and so it's an anthology series, so 417 00:18:52,674 --> 00:18:55,874 Speaker 2: every episode is its own contained story, which I think 418 00:18:55,954 --> 00:18:57,754 Speaker 2: is also great, especially even have a lot of time, 419 00:18:57,794 --> 00:19:00,394 Speaker 2: because you could sit down and watch one half an 420 00:19:00,394 --> 00:19:03,634 Speaker 2: hour episode once a week and it's its own contending story. 421 00:19:03,954 --> 00:19:05,874 Speaker 1: And it is kind of like Black Mirror. 422 00:19:06,114 --> 00:19:08,674 Speaker 2: It's exactly, it's one hundred percent. That's what it is. 423 00:19:08,714 --> 00:19:11,314 Speaker 2: It's Black Mirror from rom com. So Black Ara freaks 424 00:19:11,354 --> 00:19:13,994 Speaker 2: you out. Go and watch More in Love because it's 425 00:19:14,074 --> 00:19:18,194 Speaker 2: just sweet and lovely. It's mostly romantic love stories, but 426 00:19:18,434 --> 00:19:21,314 Speaker 2: there is platonic love, family love. There's even a really 427 00:19:21,314 --> 00:19:23,513 Speaker 2: lovely episode about a woman and her doorman who kind 428 00:19:23,554 --> 00:19:25,674 Speaker 2: of sees her through all these big moments of her 429 00:19:25,714 --> 00:19:27,434 Speaker 2: life when she becomes a single mum. I know, I 430 00:19:27,434 --> 00:19:30,114 Speaker 2: cry so much. It's got an incredible cast of stars, 431 00:19:30,114 --> 00:19:32,754 Speaker 2: so each episode has its own cast. Wow and some 432 00:19:32,994 --> 00:19:37,634 Speaker 2: Yeah Deeltels, the hot Anne Hathaway, Dev Purtel is so 433 00:19:37,674 --> 00:19:40,674 Speaker 2: good at this tiny Yeah Tina fe is incredible. An 434 00:19:40,674 --> 00:19:44,474 Speaker 2: Hathaway's episode made me sob and a papquin Andrew scott'son 435 00:19:44,474 --> 00:19:47,474 Speaker 2: an episode Mini Driver. It's just so incredible. And what 436 00:19:47,514 --> 00:19:50,114 Speaker 2: it actually is is it's based off the Modern Love 437 00:19:50,234 --> 00:19:52,674 Speaker 2: column in the New York Times, which is a very 438 00:19:52,754 --> 00:19:54,914 Speaker 2: very famous column. It has been going for many, many years. 439 00:19:54,994 --> 00:19:57,114 Speaker 2: I read it online a lot, and it's a weekly 440 00:19:57,194 --> 00:20:00,234 Speaker 2: series where they publish all these personal essays about love 441 00:20:00,714 --> 00:20:04,954 Speaker 2: and relationships. And it's just real people's stories that feature 442 00:20:05,474 --> 00:20:08,114 Speaker 2: in this column, and it's so beautifully done. It just 443 00:20:08,154 --> 00:20:10,513 Speaker 2: tells all these little pockets of life. And over the 444 00:20:10,594 --> 00:20:12,954 Speaker 2: years it's become really famous and there's podcasts about it. 445 00:20:12,994 --> 00:20:15,553 Speaker 2: Now that's this TV show. So every episode of Modern 446 00:20:15,594 --> 00:20:19,114 Speaker 2: Love is based on real life people, on these people 447 00:20:19,114 --> 00:20:20,714 Speaker 2: whose stories appeared in this column. 448 00:20:20,834 --> 00:20:24,074 Speaker 1: Isn't it wild? How like twenty nineteen it came out, 449 00:20:24,474 --> 00:20:26,154 Speaker 1: this is not really well known. 450 00:20:26,354 --> 00:20:27,954 Speaker 2: Yeah. Oh, I feel like it was very buzzy at 451 00:20:27,994 --> 00:20:29,994 Speaker 2: the time. But I feel like, and especially because that 452 00:20:30,114 --> 00:20:31,874 Speaker 2: like the first season had a lot of big names 453 00:20:31,914 --> 00:20:34,793 Speaker 2: and the second season came out quite quickly afterwards. But 454 00:20:34,874 --> 00:20:36,674 Speaker 2: I do feel like it's one of those shows like 455 00:20:36,714 --> 00:20:38,674 Speaker 2: Four Wings and Funeral where there was a hit of 456 00:20:38,674 --> 00:20:41,754 Speaker 2: buzz and I feel like it's really fallen off people's Radars. Yeah, 457 00:20:41,794 --> 00:20:44,353 Speaker 2: and so modern love. I can't speak highly enough of it. 458 00:20:44,354 --> 00:20:46,354 Speaker 2: There's so many episodes I still think about all these 459 00:20:46,394 --> 00:20:49,074 Speaker 2: years later, and like there's frothy episodes and some episodes 460 00:20:49,074 --> 00:20:52,314 Speaker 2: that just made me sob It's really beautiful. It's on Prime, 461 00:20:52,394 --> 00:20:55,514 Speaker 2: It's on Prime Video. So yeah, highly recommend, because again 462 00:20:55,594 --> 00:20:56,513 Speaker 2: little self contained. 463 00:20:56,714 --> 00:20:58,674 Speaker 1: Do you know why I think it hasn't really hid? Yeah, 464 00:20:58,714 --> 00:21:01,554 Speaker 1: because Prime wasn't that big when this came out in Australia. 465 00:21:01,674 --> 00:21:02,714 Speaker 2: It wasn't like a. 466 00:21:02,634 --> 00:21:05,354 Speaker 1: Massive streaming service yet, So I feel like maybe that's 467 00:21:05,354 --> 00:21:06,674 Speaker 1: why a lot of people might have missed it. 468 00:21:07,314 --> 00:21:09,154 Speaker 2: So I'm sure if you have a Prime subscription now 469 00:21:09,194 --> 00:21:10,474 Speaker 2: you can go in and watch it, because it's all 470 00:21:10,514 --> 00:21:13,434 Speaker 2: just sitting there ready to watch. Okay, one more because 471 00:21:13,474 --> 00:21:15,554 Speaker 2: I just feel like I can't finish off this episode 472 00:21:15,794 --> 00:21:18,194 Speaker 2: without talking about one of my favorite shows of all time, 473 00:21:18,554 --> 00:21:19,273 Speaker 2: Heart of Dixie. 474 00:21:19,514 --> 00:21:23,674 Speaker 1: I can't.

And 504 00:22:37,874 --> 00:22:40,074 Speaker 2: then she can't find a GP job because obviously they're 505 00:22:40,074 --> 00:22:42,154 Speaker 2: all filled for the year. And then she remembers that 506 00:22:42,194 --> 00:22:44,674 Speaker 2: this strange old man in suit has been coming to 507 00:22:44,754 --> 00:22:48,033 Speaker 2: her graduation in her events and stuff for over her 508 00:22:48,114 --> 00:22:51,154 Speaker 2: life and keeps offering her a job, writing to her 509 00:22:51,154 --> 00:22:53,914 Speaker 2: a job and saying, I own a medical practice in 510 00:22:53,954 --> 00:22:56,553 Speaker 2: a tiny little town called blue Bell and Alabama, and 511 00:22:56,554 --> 00:22:59,034 Speaker 2: I'd love to hire you.

Obviously, Gilmore Girls 526 00:23:33,794 --> 00:23:35,994 Speaker 2: is so much of a better show. But the town 527 00:23:36,074 --> 00:23:38,313 Speaker 2: of Bluebellt mirrors the town of Starles Hollow in a 528 00:23:38,314 --> 00:23:38,714 Speaker 2: way of. 529 00:23:38,594 --> 00:23:40,313 Speaker 1: Like I didn't like. 530 00:23:40,794 --> 00:23:42,754 Speaker 2: No, we're not doing no. 531 00:23:42,794 --> 00:23:46,874 Speaker 1: I'm sorry.

You should see how upset 537 00:24:00,154 --> 00:24:01,033 Speaker 1: Laura looks at me right now. 538 00:24:01,034 --> 00:24:02,754 Speaker 2: It's one of my favorite TV shows. I know all 539 00:24:02,754 --> 00:24:03,074 Speaker 2: the time. 540 00:24:03,154 --> 00:24:05,833 Speaker 1: I know I understand Laura, and I'm really sorry. I 541 00:24:05,874 --> 00:24:09,794 Speaker 1: really do apologie. TV shows that I really love aren't 542 00:24:09,834 --> 00:24:14,114 Speaker 1: really like dramas like that. Okay, I'm like Parks and 543 00:24:14,234 --> 00:24:19,674 Speaker 1: rec or Veep or Brooklyn nine nine, So it's just 544 00:24:19,714 --> 00:24:22,994 Speaker 1: not my type of show. I'm really sorry. Like I've 545 00:24:23,034 --> 00:24:25,754 Speaker 1: watched it, but I'm just not like obsessed with it. 546 00:24:26,154 --> 00:24:27,994 Speaker 2: I can't. I can't write I do try. 547 00:24:28,914 --> 00:24:32,194 Speaker 1: Version, a less good version of that, and like really agree, American, 548 00:24:32,354 --> 00:24:33,073 Speaker 1: I don't like that. 549 00:24:33,194 --> 00:24:34,834 Speaker 2: No, I'm just trying to say, Okay, maybe it's not 550 00:24:34,874 --> 00:24:36,874 Speaker 2: for you. But the people who love Gilmore girls, people 551 00:24:36,874 --> 00:24:40,273 Speaker 2: with humor, heart and soul, those people who love the 552 00:24:40,274 --> 00:24:41,874 Speaker 2: town of styles Hollow and the fact that they've got 553 00:24:41,874 --> 00:24:44,674 Speaker 2: the little quirky town square and all the different characters 554 00:24:44,634 --> 00:24:46,273 Speaker 2: that live in it. If you like that, that is 555 00:24:46,314 --> 00:24:49,314 Speaker 2: also in Heart of Dixie. I should also say it's 556 00:24:49,314 --> 00:24:51,833 Speaker 2: got one of the best performances from like a side 557 00:24:51,914 --> 00:24:55,394 Speaker 2: comedic actress who becomes a leading lady, which is Jamie King, 558 00:24:55,634 --> 00:24:58,513 Speaker 2: who plays Lemon Breeland. And I think out of everyone, 559 00:24:58,554 --> 00:25:00,234 Speaker 2: you would like her because she comes off like, oh, 560 00:25:00,234 --> 00:25:03,834 Speaker 2: she's just sugary, sweet debutante. But she is an evil mastermind. 561 00:25:03,834 --> 00:25:06,514 Speaker 2: She's so clever, she's so like manipulative, and she very 562 00:25:06,554 --> 00:25:09,674 Speaker 2: much becomes the lead character as the shows go of. Also, 563 00:25:09,714 --> 00:25:11,954 Speaker 2: it's got my favorite thing in a love story. It's 564 00:25:11,954 --> 00:25:15,194 Speaker 2: got haters to lovers and a very unexpected love story. 565 00:25:15,194 --> 00:25:17,553 Speaker 2: The whole time you're watching Heart of Dixie, they're setting 566 00:25:17,634 --> 00:25:19,033 Speaker 2: up this is the main love story. This is the 567 00:25:19,034 --> 00:25:20,754 Speaker 2: main love story. This is the main love story, and 568 00:25:20,794 --> 00:25:22,754 Speaker 2: it changes and it's the best payoff. 569 00:25:22,834 --> 00:25:24,794 Speaker 1: But if I'm going to watch like a Fish out 570 00:25:24,794 --> 00:25:26,874 Speaker 1: of Water series, I'm going to watch like Ginny and Georgia. 571 00:25:26,994 --> 00:25:29,674 Speaker 2: Oh see, I can't get behind Jinny and Georgia. Really no, Oh, 572 00:25:29,714 --> 00:25:32,074 Speaker 2: I really like it. It's good TV. It's just it 573 00:25:32,114 --> 00:25:34,273 Speaker 2: hasn't sucked me in in the same Oh. 574 00:25:34,314 --> 00:25:35,994 Speaker 1: I like it a lot more like at least because 575 00:25:35,994 --> 00:25:38,274 Speaker 1: it's got like a bit of quirk to it. Yeah. 576 00:25:38,354 --> 00:25:39,794 Speaker 2: I mean, so of these shows you wouldn't know because 577 00:25:39,794 --> 00:25:42,474 Speaker 2: you haven't watched all of them. So that's that.
