Podcasts about romcom

Welcome back to Casting Actors Cast, the podcast for actors who want to sharpen their audition skills, book more roles, and understand the industry from the inside out. Today we're diving into a genre that's deceptively challenging, yet absolutely essential for so many working actors: Romantic Comedies and Hallmark-style films. These projects have their own flavor—light, charming, heartfelt, and often sprinkled with humor and predictability. But here's the catch: what works in a dramatic audition often doesn't work here. If you overplay the depth, you miss the levity. If you underplay it, you risk seeming flat or uninspired. So, how do you strike that perfect balance? In this episode, we'll explore the hallmarks of rom-com acting—the specific skill set that helps actors shine in both auditions and on set. Whether you're preparing for a Hallmark Christmas movie or a witty rom-com pilot, you'll walk away with practical tools to deliver the style directors and casting directors are looking for.

Mike Newell's rom-com was the film that turned Hugh Grant into floppy-haired royalty, introduced us to Andie MacDowell's enigmatic Carrie, and made swearing at alarm clocks a national pastime.We talk through all four weddings (and, yes, the funeral), unpacking:Hugh Grant's career-defining “stammering English gent” routine.Andie MacDowell's aloof American elegance — and the film's messy romance plot.Simon Callow's scene-stealing turn and the surprisingly poignant funeral sequence.Rowan Atkinson's gloriously bungled first wedding gig as Father Gerald.Whether Richard Curtis' world of posh English eccentrics really reflects Britain… or just what Americans want us to be.We also get into how the film became the highest-grossing British movie of its day, launched Hugh Grant's tabloid-fuelled celebrity arc, and why it still works (even if “Love Actually” does not).Expect swearing, and the usual Bad Dads blend of dodgy impressions, film geekery, and questionable life lessons.

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.

OK Slaycaters, strap in for another case of paradise lost.  In May of 2000, New York-based travel writers Claudia Kirschhoch and Tania Grossinger found themselves stranded in Negril, Jamaica when their business trip to Havana Cuba was suddenly canceled. However, 29-year old Claudia had just landed her dream job writing for Frommer's Travel Guides and decided to make the most of her situation.   While Tania booked a flight home — Claudia stayed and played, including going on a date with a bartender at the resort she was staying in. What happens next is something out of a movie…and definitely not a RomCom. We invite you to figure out the ending to this story!  As always, thanks for Slaycating with us and stay safe out there!   Slaycation is recorded at the Brooklyn Podcasting Studio by Josh Wilcox Editing is by Kelley Marcano MORE KIM!:  Subscribe to SLAYCATION PLUS and get weekly ‘More Kim' bonus episodes.

Hey Betches! We're taking a little summer R&R this week, so we're handing over the feed to our hilarious coworkers at Betches Video Club. They've got you covered with all the laughs while we're out. 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.

Romance is having a huge moment and let's be honest, sometimes we all need a dose of a little happy ending. In this spicy bonus episode of Mamamia Out Loud, Jessie, Holly and Em V are diving deep into why we're all completely obsessed with love stories right now. From seriously sexy fairies, Mr Rochester's problematic Victorian charm to complicated love stories set on the backdrop of Dublin (so romantic) — we're covering it all and getting way too invested in fictional relationships. Plus, we'll play you a taste of Em's spicy obsession she's been listening to on her commute that has her practically levitating into work.

Today on The Run-Through with Vogue, we bring you an episode from The New Yorker's podcast, Critics at Large.Audiences have been bemoaning the death of the romantic comedy for years, but the genre persists—albeit often in a different form from the screwballs of the nineteen-forties or the “chick flicks” of the eighties and nineties. On this episode of Critics at Large, Vinson Cunningham, Naomi Fry, and Alexandra Schwartz discuss their all-time favorite rom-coms and two new projects marketed as contemporary successors to the greats: Celine Song's “Materialists” and Lena Dunham's “Too Much.” Do these depictions of modern love—or at least the search for it—evoke the same breathless feeling as the classics do? “I wonder if the crisis in rom-coms has to do with a crisis in how adult women want to be or want to see themselves,” Schwartz says. “I think both of these projects are basically trying to speak to the fact that everyone's ideals are in question.”Read, watch, and listen with the critics:“Sex, Love, and the State of the Rom-Com” (The New Yorker)“Materialists” (2025)“Too Much” (2025)“Working Girl” (1988)“You've Got Mail” (1998)“When Harry Met Sally” (1989)“Love & Basketball” (2000)“The Best Man” (1999)“Our Romance with Jane Austen” (The New Yorker)“Girls” (2012-17)“Adam's Rib” (1949)New episodes drop every Thursday.

Noah Hawley talks about creating Alien: Earth which is the first ever TV series based on the blockbuster Alien films created by Ridley Scott. TV and film critic Rhianna Dhillon and poet, critic and editor of The Little Review Tristram Fane Saunders join Tom Sutcliffe to give their thoughts on Alien: Earth. They also review Celine Song's new romantic comedy-drama Materialists starring Dakota Johnson as a New York Matchmaker. Finally, John Burnside was considered one of the finest poets of his generation. After his death last year, The Empire of Forgetting is his last collection of new poems which Tom and guests talk about.

For your season 6 bonus episode, Chelsea and Madison have dusted off their English degrees and learned how to read (again) to discuss Allison Raskin's debut novel, Save the Date. After Emma's fiancé unexpectedly calls off the engagement, months before the wedding, Emma is left high and dry with a stack of non-refundable wedding deposits. Solution? Save her wedding date and find a new groom! This is certainly not your average rom-com and Madison and Chelsea discuss how it defies tropes and expectations, while still ticking all of the necessary genre boxes. General consensus on the book? It should be made into a movie and Emma's parents must be played by Mandy Patinkin and Kathryn Grody.Digressions include the oppressive heat, Chelsea's weird foot tan line, and so much more.Connect With UsFollow us on Instagram @loveatfirstscreening or send an email to loveatfirstscreening@gmail.comProduction Hosts: Chelsea Ciccone and Madison HillMusic: Good StephArtwork: Chelsea CicconeSocial Media: Marissa CicconeAbout the ShowAn examination of classic tropes and iconic characters pits connoisseur against cynic—one romantic comedy at a time. The cinematic world of love and laughter had rom-com enthusiast Madison head over heels from the time Harry met Sally. For genre skeptic Chelsea, however, it's been a grueling enemies-to-lovers plot. In Love at First Screening, Madison introduces Chelsea to all the fan-favorite love stories she's never wanted to watch. One friend's passion might be the other's displeasure, but doesn't love conquer all? Tune in every Wednesday to find out.

So Kevin and Lauren are back, sans Andrew and after a much needed week off. this week they cover Fantastic Four, Trainwreck: Poop Cruise, Locked, Sirens, The Life List, and ASH. Kevin kicks off the show with his mostly spoiler-free review of Fantastic Four: First Steps. It's another solid Superhero movie in a summer where it felt like the genre could be at a tipping point. But, for Kevin at least, this film, Thunderbolts, and Superman have kept hope alive. This one is worth catching in the theaters and is a great entry point into Marvel for anyone, as it has no real ties to anything else right now. Next up, Lauren puts her travel experience to work in reviewing Trainwreck: Poop Cruise. Yes, the name is silly, but this is something that really happened. And wow was it disgusting. All in all, it was a quick entertainning watch, but it certainly left Kevin and Lauren with more questions than answers... Kevin kicks off his first review from his horror thriller week with a review of Locked, starring Anthony Hopkins and Bill Skaarsgard. This is a decent thriller with a SAW-adjacent plot where a man is locked in a car and is left to the whims of a rich man who just feelings like being an a-hole. It's not bad and it's not great, but the leads do a great job, so it's not entirely worth missing if you have Hulu right now. Lauren and Kevin finally find some common ground, as they both watched Sirens on Netflix. This is one of those shows that's not a RomCom, not a drama, and not really a comedy. It sits in the funky grey area where it's an amalgum of those things, but somehow less than. The performances are great and it's a quick watch, so, much like Locked, it's not entirely skippable, but you won't hate yourself for missing it, either. Lauren then moves on to another Netflix film that's not quite a RomCom with The Life List. This one is better than Sirens and has a sweet storyline that keeps it entertaining. When a girls mom passes away, the daughter is sent on a scavenger hunt of sorts for her inheritance. If that doesn't sound fun to you, I promise it's better than it sounds and really is sweet, although it does feel Hallmark-esque.  Finally, Kevin closes out the show with the film ASH, on Shudder. This is a very pretty, very viscreal sci-fi horror(?) flick. The main performers are Aaron Paul and Eiza Gonzalex and they are honestly really great in this. The rest of the film is a bit of a mishmash of good ideas, possibly stolen from Event Horizon and Memento, that don't quite come together. It's kind of great as a visual medium, but it's definitely lacking overall. This isn't one you need to fire up a trial of Shudder for. As always, thank you for watching.

“As the world changes, what place do my polyamorous romantic comedy novels have in our society? If the world now understands and somewhat accepts open relationships, is there even a need for my novels? These novels are for pre-pandemic times, BEFORE a lot of things changed — so what happens now? Are they ‘subversive enough,' and is there a place for them?”These are some of the questions your host, polyamorous romcom indie author and Life Coach Sagan Morrow, explores in this episode of the Author Diary Entries podcast! We discuss the importance of subversion and politics as part of creative expression, Sagan's thought process in applying this to her Polyamorous Passions novels, examples of what this looks like in burlesque dance (including a play-by-play breakdown of the subtext for one of Babe Maverick's most recent burlesque performances), and the deeply sinister nature of the seemingly-innocent “You should smile more!” comment that men so often say to women (and the way you can subvert this through the creative expression of living life). Resources mentioned in this episode: Small Town Stilettos and the Polyamorous Passions romantic comedy series: SaganMorrow.com/books Sagan's burlesque persona (Babe Maverick) on Instagram: Instagram.com/babemaverick Life coaching with Sagan: https://saganmorrow.com/coaching/ Connect with Sagan on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/saganlives Connect with Sagan on Threads: https://www.threads.net/@saganlives Author Diary Entries podcast, episode 182 (let people enjoy “silly” art): https://www.buzzsprout.com/400015/episodes/16955029-182-let-people-enjoy-things-in-defence-of-twilight-instagrammers Author Diary Entries podcast, episode 186 (why your “weird art” matters): https://www.buzzsprout.com/400015/episodes/17346188-186-the-art-of-creative-weirdness-and-an-ode-to-z-nation-burlesque-dancing-and-my-lady-jane Support the show

Matt and Dawn welcome a new voice to the show, site contributor Ruthie Nugent, to review 4 brand new shows. First up, Jimmy McGovern's hard hitting single drama Unforgivable. Prime Video's The Assassin, which sees Keeley Hawes as a retired Assassin forced out of retirement just as her son arrives to visit. Next, Lena Dunham's first new project in years, this time for Netflix and London set RomCom homage Too Much. Lastly, the BBC are hoping they can continue their streak of popular reality series with Destination X, which, in theory, could be a Traitors and Race Across the World hybrid.

50 minutes de fou rire avec une des personnes les plus hot que je connaisse : Rubi Pigeon. Entrepreneuse, fondatrice de la marque Rusmin, créatrice du compte @dress4unotforthem – un de mes comptes mode préférés, parce qu'elle me rappelle que at the end of the day, fashion is just an opinion. Elle vient de lancer un podcast avec sa sœur Yasmine Pigeon (j'ai trop hâte d'écouter, bordel). Rubi, c'est une de ces personnes pour qui j'ai craqué très vite – au premier café. Ce que j'aime avec elle, c'est qu'on peut parler de tout : elle ne juge pas, elle t'aide à relativiser, mais elle comprend et respecte ce que tu ressens. Elle sait se réjouir pour les autres comme si c'était ses propres victoires – et ça, c'est un truc que j'adore. Ouverte d'esprit, drôle, intelligente (et chargée en bas), hilarante et très messy…Voici Rubi. xxx (i'm so grateful for this amazing girl) !!! Hébergé par Ausha.

The most delightful fake dating rom-com with humor and depth has us laughing together as we discuss this delicious story!

We're back from our (unplanned, sorry!!) break with a big one. Lena Dunham has returned to television with a Netflix series that many online are claiming to be as good as - or even better than - Girls, the much lauded HBO show that launched her career. Conversely, critics are writing scathing reviews for broadsheets about the portrayal of romance, women and London in the show. But which is it? And are our hosts impressed with the Megan Stalter fronted romcom?This week, Ione and Gina get to grips with whether Too Much is hot or a flop: exploring the representation of class dynamics, the acclaim the series is receiving for fat representation, and questioning why Jess, the show's lead, has absolutely zero mates.Support our work and become a Polyester Podcast member

For The New Yorker's series Takes, Carrie Brownstein—the co-creator of Sleater-Kinney and “Portlandia”—writes about an iconic rock-and-roll image. In the summer of 2003, the musician Chan Marshall, better known as Cat Power, was transitioning from an indie darling to a major rock artist, and the staff writer Hilton Als wrote a Profile of her in The New Yorker. Facing his piece was a full-page portrait of Marshall by the celebrated photographer Richard Avedon that puts her in the lineage of rock rebels of generations past. With a long ash dangling from her cigarette, a Bob Dylan T-shirt, and her jeans half unzipped, Cat Power “maybe doesn't give a shit about being in The New Yorker,” Brownstein thinks, “which I can't say is usually the vibe.” Avedon's image reminds Brownstein “to keep remembering … to keep going back to that place that feels sacred and special and uncynical.” Carrie Brownstein's Take on Richard Avedon's portrait of Cat Power appeared in the April 20, 2025, issue. Plus, audiences have been bemoaning the death of the romantic comedy for years, but the genre persists—albeit often in a different form from the screwballs of the nineteen-forties or the “chick flicks” of the eighties and nineties. On this episode from the Critics at Large podcast, Vinson Cunningham, Naomi Fry, and Alexandra Schwartz discuss their all-time favorite rom-coms and two new projects marketed as contemporary successors to the greats: Celine Song's “Materialists” and Lena Dunham's “Too Much.”

Audiences have been bemoaning the death of the romantic comedy for years, but the genre persists—albeit often in a different form from the screwballs of the nineteen-forties or the “chick flicks” of the eighties and nineties. On this episode of Critics at Large, Vinson Cunningham, Naomi Fry, and Alexandra Schwartz discuss their all-time favorite rom-coms and two new projects marketed as contemporary successors to the greats: Celine Song's “Materialists” and Lena Dunham's “Too Much.” Do these depictions of modern love—or at least the search for it—evoke the same breathless feeling as the classics do? “I wonder if the crisis in rom-coms has to do with a crisis in how adult women want to be or want to see themselves,” Schwartz says. “I think both of these projects are basically trying to speak to the fact that everyone's ideals are in question.”Read, watch, and listen with the critics:“Sex, Love, and the State of the Rom-Com” (The New Yorker)“Materialists” (2025)“Too Much” (2025)“Working Girl” (1988)“You've Got Mail” (1998)“When Harry Met Sally” (1989)“Love & Basketball” (2000)“The Best Man” (1999)“Our Romance with Jane Austen” (The New Yorker)“Girls” (2012-17)“Adam's Rib” (1949)New episodes drop every Thursday.

In this Friday Feels episode of U Up?, Jordana and Jared dive into the chaotic brilliance of the 90s rom-com My Best Friend's Wedding. They unpack the iconic “Say a Little Prayer” scene and ask why George isn't the real lead?! George is loyal, hilarious, and flies to Chicago twice with zero expectations. Jared jokes he'd do the same for Jordana! The two debate who the true villain is: manipulative Julianne or emotionally unavailable Michael. They also question why everyone in the movie is kissing on the lips, including Kimberly and her dad. Through it all, they explore how the film's dated relationship norms still spark modern-day debates about friendship, insecurity, and love, especially through the performances of Julia Roberts, Dermot Mulroney, Cameron Diaz, and Rupert Everett.
