Every Rom Com 46: Midnight In Paris

This week on Every Rom Com, we travel back in time to Paris in the 1920’s as we discuss the 2011 film “Midnight In Paris.” We talk about nostalgia and golden age thinking, learn about some of the greatest writers and artists of the 20’s, and decide whether we’d take a leap back in time. We also cover Owen Wilson, Marion Cotillard, and give our opinions on Woody Allen and how to approach art by artists who are accused of crimes or wrongdoing. Whether it’s midnight or not, I hope you’ll get in the car and join us for this trip back in time!
