You Had Us At Hello

Billy and Tess finally drop back into your feed, over a year since their last pod, but hey, it's been quite a year... We talk about why we haven't podded, what's been out there for us (and you) to watch, do a lot of debating about comparing and contrasting, have some rom com rants and generally just do our rambling rom com thing. FULL DISCLOSURE: Tess sounds like she is underwater for the first 4 minutes or so, but it fixes itself, so bear with her. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

CONTAINS A HUGE AMOUNT OF SWEARING.We know, we know, it's been a year, but we are nothing if not consistent rom com podcasters.Billy and Tess discuss the future of the romantic comedy as it moves into a new decade, and have their usual existential crises live on air (and by this we mean 'Tess does').Happy Holidays! And here's a link to the story we talk about at the end, and whether it could be a rom com...https://www.nytimes.com/2019/12/08/nyregion/auschwitz-love-story.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

It's the end of the year, which can mean only one thing. Billy and Tess need to exchange gifts from under the rom com tree, make some rom com resolutions for 2019, and make us all feel better about life in general, using the power of rom com. No pressure.

We're back! Did you miss us? We did. Anyway, seeing as awards season is FINALLY drawing to a close, we thought we'd dish out some of our own gongs, and give some rom coms the love, admiration and cheap statues they deserve but never got. We also pose some questions that have been noodling around in our brains since we last got together, and attempt to keep Billy's dogs from not making regular cameos, and the acoustics in his front room from drowning out our dulcet tones.

Hello friends!Our 6th and final pod of the year! And what a year it has been, so we decided to give each other some presents, and some resolutions, all wrapped up under the guise of the holiday rom com.We also have a big old rant about the rom com being blamed for something, yet again, but we know how you love it when we do that.Happy Holidays from us both!T&B x See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Pod 5! Okay, we appreciate we're not the most regular podcasting team, but life is what happens while you're busy planning podcasts. Anyway, we were compelled to record one this week, because we were both feeling SO terrible about EVERYTHING, so we decided to spend a whole lovely hour talking with each other about our favourite female characters in film, and our favourite screenplays by women. Because we felt this is what the world needed right now. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Fourth pod lucky, and we finally secure an audience with Craig Mazin! We talk about romantic comedies people don't think are romantic comedies - namely HER - Tess gets triggered by the patriarchy, and our You Had Us At Hello love in session is for none other than Rob Reiner.Warning: contains explicit language, despite what iTunes says, and Craig doing his A Few Good Men impression.

Pod 3! In this third pod, Billy and Tess go and see The Big Sick, and then record their thoughts immediately afterwards. which seamlessly segues into a conversation about other great modern romantic comedies, and how to write a good one. We also wax lyrical on Diane Keaton, and Tess swears a lot.FYI - there are no real The Big Sick spoilers, that aren't in the reviews and press!
