My Husband Made Me Do It
Once upon a time, Katie's husband used to travel for work. While sitting alone and bored in hotels and airports, he started watching rom-coms to fill the time. As one does. He started insisting that Katie watch the rom-coms with him when he got home. Sometimes, this was a sweet gesture. He wanted her to enjoy a cute or funny movie with him. Aw. Other times, it was just because the movie was so bad he needed someone else to validate his suffering and suffer too. Enter Lydea, the couple's friend, who finds the forced rom-com watching thing very funny and wants to watch them too for some unknown reason.
Not going to lie, folks, we have watched some absolute duds of movies, but we've watched some amazing ones too. Be prepared for spoilers--in fact, just assume there will be spoilers everywhere--and come join us as we review the rom-coms Katie's dear, sweet husband made her watch.

His Girl Friday

We're watching the 1940 screwball comedy His Girl Friday, starring Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell. Newspaper editor Walter Burns has two problems: 1) his best reporter is leaving the newspaper business, and 2) his ex-wife has moved on and is marrying someone else... tomorrow! Conveniently for him, his best reporter and ex-wife are the same person. He'll do whatever it takes to win her back as both wife and prized employee: dangle a juicy interview in front of her, kidnap an old lady, plant counterfeit money on her fiancé... You name it. He probably already has Louie working on it.
As of recording, you could check this movie out on Amazon Prime. Let us know what you think! Is it a rom com? Is young Cary Grant a beautiful man? Is this the fastest dialogue you've ever heard?
