Friends With Benefits and No Strings Attached
Manage episode 294778926 series 2869721
This month, Lisa and Charles Adrian look into the novel and surprising concept of ‘sex friends’ as it is explored in two films from ten years ago.
Friends With Benefits
Year: 2011
Screenplay by: Keith Merryman, David A. Newman and Will Gluck
Based on a story by: Harley Peyton, Keith Merryman and David A. Newman
Director: Will Gluck
Stars: Justin Timberlake, Mila Kunis
No Strings Attached
Year: 2011
Screenplay by: Elizabeth Meriwether
Based on a story by: Michael Samonek and Elizabeth Meriwether
Director: Ivan Reitman
Stars: Natalie Portman, Ashton Kutcher
Show notes:
In this episode we take two films about ‘sex friends’ that came out in 2011 – Friends With Benefits and No Strings Attached – and we compare and we contrast and we generally fix.
Incidentally, another very important link between these two films, at least at time of recording this episode, and which we forgot to mention, is that Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher are married to each other.
Charles Adrian mentions another two Mila Kunis vehicles, Bad Moms (2016) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4651520/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1) and Forgetting Sarah Marshall (2008) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0800039/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1), and he also references an episode of the comedy series Kim’s Convenience (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kim%27s_Convenience). Lisa talks about the film Up In The Air (2009) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1193138/).
For anybody who is interested, the Defence Of Marriage Act (known as DOMA) was not struck down by the United States Supreme Court until 2013 (https://www.britannica.com/topic/Defense-of-Marriage-Act) and so cannot be the reason people were only just discovering the concept of ‘sex friends’ in 2011.
Music in this episode is by Martin Zaltz Austwick (martinzaltzaustwick.com). Artwork is by Lisa Findley.
