In the words of David Cassidy, in fact, while he was still with The Partridge Family, I think I love you…

Join us this week as Tracie and Emily revisit the 1994 film Four Weddings and a Funeral that they first saw in the theater together. Not only did this film launch Guy girls’ long-standing fixation on Hugh Grant, the floppy-haired embodiment of the word diffident, but it also tells a nuanced and progressive (for the early 90s) story of gay romance, subverts the expectations of female sexuality, and offers some lovely disability representation. While not everything holds up to 30-year hindsight–the characters are all posh white folks with lots o’ money and Andie MacDowell’s character is a bit of a sexy lamp–this brilliantly funny movie is well worth the rewatch.

You are cordially invited to don your headphones and listen to this episode…
