On today's episode, we welcome the dynamic duo, Lily Yasuda and Michael Wolfe, two inspiring filmmakers who have decided to take the road less traveled by creating their own feature film, Like Love. Their journey is one of collaboration, determination, and creativity—filled with moments of laughter and the occasional unexpected hurdle.From the outset, you'll sense the chemistry between Lily and Michael. They first crossed paths during their time at Chapman University, bonding over vulnerable and humorous writing assignments in a creative writing class. Their shared passion for storytelling sparked not only a friendship but also a creative partnership. This partnership culminated in the idea for Like Love, a project born out of their desire to challenge traditional romantic comedy tropes.“We wanted to tell a story that feels real and honest,” Lily shares, “about friendships and the complexities of human connection.”At its heart, Like Love is what they call an “anti-romantic comedy.” Drawing inspiration from classics like When Harry Met Sally, Lily and Michael aim to flip the script on the genre. Instead of perpetuating the myth that friendship between men and women inevitably leads to romance, their film explores the beauty of platonic relationships. As Michael explains, “It's about two friends trying to fall in love and realizing they're better off as friends. That's the kind of story we don't see enough.”Their filmmaking journey hasn't been without its challenges. Crowdfunding has been a pivotal part of bringing Like Love to life. Lily and Michael describe the process as “a full-time job in itself,” requiring not only meticulous planning but also a willingness to be vulnerable and open about their creative vision. They've leaned heavily on their network for support, finding generosity in unexpected places.“The community in Boise has been incredible,” says Lily. “People here are so supportive, offering locations, resources, and even homemade meals for the crew.”Despite the logistical hurdles, their passion for storytelling shines through. Michael, the film's director, admits that directing a micro-budget feature comes with unique pressures. “We're all wearing multiple hats,” he notes, “but it's an amazing experience to work so closely with a team that believes in the project.” Lily, who also stars as the film's lead, balances her roles as actor, writer, and producer with grace, emphasizing the importance of collaboration in every aspect of the project.As they reflect on their experiences, one thing becomes clear: Like Love is more than just a film; it's a testament to the power of community and perseverance. Lily and Michael hope their story inspires other aspiring filmmakers to take the leap. “Making a movie isn't easy,” Lily acknowledges, “but if you're passionate about your story, you'll find a way to make it happen.”Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/bulletproof-screenwriting-podcast--2881148/support.

In Episode 287, Asim, Amrita, and Sujoy dive into two very different cinematic worlds — the mythic mayhem of Kantara Chapter 1 and the glossy chaos of Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari. Sujoy kicks things off with his review of Kantara Chapter 1 — a prequel that expands the folklore of Rishab Shetty's breakout hit. Expect talk of Mad Max set pieces, colonial undertones, and whether the film's ambition pays off or just gets lost in the jungle fog. Then, the team dives deep into Dharma territory with Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari. What went wrong with this “Humptyverse” rom-com? From Jhanvi Kapoor's dancing to Varun Dhawan's “Salman energy,” influencer cameos, baffling product placements, and the mysterious economics of modern rom-coms — no one is safe. Also discussed: feminism that never makes it past the trailer, why nobody has chemistry with Jhanvi Kapoor, and how Bollywood somehow spent ₹180 crores on a movie set in one hotel. Show Notes:

Something like "All by myself" "Love Will Lead You Back" or "Everyday Is Like Sunday" I'm sure you can think of many songs to go with wallowing or any mood you want to experience. Because music IS powerful!This week my guest is Amber Viola, a musical person in her own right, who is discussing the incredible experience her daughter Jaclyn had at the music camp by Scranton Girls Rock, as well as the great experience Amber had volunteering as a camp counselor.

T'as vu en 2013 ? La série où plus rien ne va ?CHRONIQUEMENT EN LIGNE, c'est le format bonus de RomComment, où on débrief un petit bout d'actu lié aux représentations de l'amour dans la pop culture.

Matthew and Riki dissect Netflix's You and how it exposes toxic rom-com masculinity. Joe Goldberg thinks he's the romantic hero, but his obsession with being the male protagonist leads to stalking, manipulation, and murder.How does You deconstruct rom-com mythology? The show reveals what happens when someone believes they're destined to "win" the girl through grand gestures and persistence, regardless of her actual feelings.Why do classic romantic comedies teach problematic lessons? From Say Anything to When Harry Met Sally..., 80s/90s rom-coms normalized stalking behaviors as romantic devotion.Does Joe's unreliable narration work as social commentary? We debate whether the show successfully critiques toxic masculinity or risks creating viewers who sympathize with his "romantic" motivations.Other topics: Serial killer vs. murderer definitions, the symbolism of Joe's book preservation room, Penn Badgley's performance balancing sympathy with horror, the way Joe constructs a dream version of his girlfriend in his mind, instead of seeing the real person she is, and comparisons to other problematic protagonists like Joker. **************************************************************************This episode is a production of Superhero Ethics, a The Ethical Panda Podcast and part of the TruStory FM Entertainment Podcast Network.

Before When Harry Met Sally, Sleepless in Seattle and Julie andJulia, Nora Ephron wrote the BEST NOVEL. Heartburn is light and funny, but also complex, nuanced and full of compassion. Kimberly runs through the history of romantic comedy--not as simple as you'd think--and all the tropes that make the genre what it is. She then takes a close look at how Ephron UPENDS so many of these rom-com conventions. For a new appreciation of this excellent art form, tune in now.

We're excited to bring you a feed drop from Rom Com Vom, a miniseries from Sex Ed with DB that dissects your favorite romantic comedies through a feminist and queer lens. In this episode, host Danielle Bezalel is joined by actor and writer Brandon Kyle Goodman to revisit Legally Blonde. They break down why the movie still resonates, where it falls short on representation, and whether Elle Woods is actually challenging the system — or just learning to play by its rules. Plus: the camp, the class privilege, and why Hollywood can't seem to let a woman succeed without giving her a love story.

Catch them every Monday on Spotify, Youtube (youtube.com/@betches), and wherever you get your podcasts! Rom Com lovers, assemble!

We rank the most iconic rom com moments—from Heath Ledger singing on the bleachers to Ryan Gosling's shirtless reveal in Crazy, Stupid, Love, the yellow dress from How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, and of course, the New Year's Eve kiss in When Harry Met Sally. Plus, we award the Judy Greer Award for Best Best Friend. Also discussed: -The foreplay-to-kiss ratio in Crazy, Stupid, Love ("an hour and ten minutes of foreplay, as usual") -Whether you'd need a therapist or a friend to convince you to hook up with Ryan Gosling -The universal truth that "they don't make sweaters like they used to" -A full meltdown over Andie Anderson's yellow dress -Billy Crystal's unexpected sex appeal in When Harry Met Sally -Why the kiss in 10 Things I Hate About You just hits harder when there's paint on your face Whether you're Team Gosling, Team Ledger, or just here to yell about how unrealistic diamond ad pitches are, this is the romcom breakdown you didn't know you needed. 00:00-02:31 We Dressed Like Our Fave Rom Com Leads 02:32 The 'Judy Greer Award' For Best Rom Com Friend 06:17 Rom Com's Worst Characters Ever 08:34 Throbbiest Heartthrob and Best Dressed 19:41 Best and Worst Dressed Rom Com Characters 22:14 This Is The Best Rom Time Of All Time! #RomComRanking #BestRomcoms #RyanGosling #HeathLedger #HowToLoseAGuyIn10Days #10ThingsIHateAboutYou #WhenHarryMetSally #CrazyStupidLove #RomComAwards #BetchesVideoClub #RomComObsessed #RomComCore #RomComRewatch #ChickFlicksForever #RomComHallOfFame #BestRomComMoments #IconicMovieKisses #MovieBesties #RomComBreakdown #VideoClubAwards #WhenHarryMetSally #10ThingsIHateAboutYou #HowToLoseAGuyIn10Days #CrazyStupidLove #RyanGoslingEra #HeathLedgerForever #AndieAnderson #BillyCrystalAppreciation #EmmaStoneStan #BetchesVideoClub #BetchesContent #YouTubeComedy #MovieTok #PopCultureDebate #NostalgiaRewatch #GirlsWhoLoveMovies #FunnyMovieReview #GenZMovieTakes #HotTakesOnly #stevecarrell #kathrynhahn #megryan Learn more about your ad choices.
