The Rom Com Rewrite - A podcast by Lisa Findley & Charles Adrian - Fridays

Categories:

No notes. This is a gorgeous, funny, beautifully-performed, character-driven rom com. Always Be My Maybe Year: 2019 Written by: Ali Wong, Randall Park & Michael Golamco Directed by: Nahnatchka Khan Stars: Ali Wong, Randall Park, James Saito, Michelle Buteau, Vivian Bang, Keanu Reeves, Daniel Dae Kim   Show notes: This month Lisa and Charles Adrian try very hard to put their fingers on exactly how it is that this rom com is as good as it is.  If you would like to skip the plot summary for this month’s film you can spool forward 9 and a half minutes into the episode. Correction: when we talk about the Billy Eichner film Bros, we call it Boys. We mean Bros.
