Romcom Roundup with Tabitha Catlin: The Drama + You, Me & Tuscany + More
Q: What stood out to you about You, Me & Tuscany during your viewing?
The two leads have incredible chemistry, the film's visual richness, and the way it blends heartfelt romance with sharp humor, setting it apart from traditional, cozy rom-coms.
Romcom Roundup with Tabitha Catlin: The Drama + You, Me & Tuscany + More
Q: Tabitha, what is your relationship to romcoms?
I love romcoms and feel it would be strange not to, given how they celebrate love and make people hopeful; my own experiences and open-hearted view shape how I engage with the genre.
Down with Love (2003) with Helen O'Hara
Q: Helen, before we jump into things, tell us a little bit about your history with Rom Coms outside of watching Christmas ones on Netflix.
Helen explains her broader experience with rom-coms, including her own Christmas movie podcast Ba Humbug and her work as a film journalist and editor at Empire, which informs her nuanced take on how these films balance humor, romance, and social themes.
Broadcast News (1987) with Phillip Iscove
Q: Is Broadcast News strictly a rom-com or something more?
The hosts converge on it being more than a rom-com, a weighty, timely meditation on the news industry, with romantic elements that complicate but do not define its core themes.
Phantom Thread (2017) with Jack Murray
Q: Tell us about your relationship with this movie.
The guest shares that Phantom Thread is a favorite PTA film for him, describing it as a lush, arch, and intensely intimate romance that unfolds within a tightly focused world of dressmaking and power dynamics. He notes its surprising warmth and its status as a standout in PTA's oeuvre.
