This week join Every Rom Com as we wrap up our L.A. Stories series with “500 Days of Summer”! Rob LaMorgese of the Get Me Another podcast joins us to discuss whether this film is a love story, which character (if any) is to blame, the Los Angeles architecture featured in the movie, and much much more! We’ll also give you our usual making-of information, as well as winding up with a group of great double feature recommendations for your next movie night! Don’t miss our exploration of this non-linear atypical indie (anti)-romcom.
