Late To The Party - The Big Sick
Manage episode 399688924 series 2797254
It's a February special on The Wait for It Podcast, and we're all about the laughs and love as we unravel the genre of romantic comedies, starting with this gem that's very close to PhilTheFilipino's heart. From its true-to-life narrative to the cultural complexities it so eloquently portrays, "The Big Sick" offers a distinct take on a genre often criticized for its predictability.
As we continue our journey, we turn the spotlight on the authenticity of romantic comedies, and how they shape our expectations of love and relationships. We draw parallels between the fantastical and the realistic, and discuss how other movies like "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" straddle that fine line. Delving into what makes a rom-com stand out, we consider the evolving landscape of the genre, and how films that resonate with us tend to offer a slice of relatable life amidst the idealism often presented on screen.
Wrapping up our heart-filled episode, we share a preview of our watchlist, packed with diverse titles that promise to keep the conversation lively and insightful. From the comedic darkness in "The Big Sick" to the impact of the Apatow era on rom-coms, we cover it all. So, whether you're a hopeless romantic or a comedy aficionado, join us, Phil and Eric, on this engaging expedition through the delightful world of rom-coms.
IMDb Synopsis: Pakistan-born comedian Kumail Nanjiani and grad student Emily Gardner fall in love but struggle as their cultures clash. When Emily contracts a mysterious illness, Kumail finds himself forced to face her feisty parents, his family's expectations, and his true feelings.
