Show Notes

This week, join Every Rom Com for the first in a recurring series of Marvel Cinematic Universe Rom-Com Crossovers, as we watch Paul Rudd’s Ant Man and Michelle Pfeiffer’s original Wasp in the 2007 romantic comedy “I Could Never Be Your Woman.” We’ll revisit age gap romances (yes, Rudd & Pfeiffer are a couple in this film!), talk favorite teen TV shows, and discuss Saoirse Ronan, who made her feature debut in this movie. Cybil, our podcast’s resident esthetician, is back with some professional observations on aging gracefully! And we’ll talk about how a Paul Rudd dance routine, a parody version of “Oops I Did It Again”, Tracey Ullman as Mother Nature, and a prank call to Henry Winkler somehow ended up in the same movie. Don’t miss the fun as we dissect our second Amy Heckerling film!
