In our 10th episode, Cat returns to talk to me about how the US TV industry has been faring since we spoke in April, and a little bit about how US Politics is shaping up ahead of the November Presidential, and in light of the continuing COVID chaos.
We then get on to the main topic of discussion, that of romantic comedy movies. We mainly focus on 500 Days of Summer (Marc Webb, 2009), When Harry Met Sally (Rob Reiner, 1989) and Annie Hall (Woody Allen, 1977). Other films we touch on include Me Before You, While You Were Sleeping, Isn't It Romantic...and a few others! Was a fun conversation!

NOTES
Obviously, there has been a lot written about Romantic Comedy tropes! Here's an introductory piece from 2013 about the Manic Pixie Dream Girl cliche.
