SUBCATEGORY: GETTING SOME ACTION

This week we're tackling an action romance that is definitely not a rom-com: 1994's bus and bomb bonanza 'Speed.' Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock light up the screen in this thriller that may jump the shark when it jumps the highway and the subway tracks. Chelsea and Elena debate the chemistry between the leads and talk about the actors who passed up being Jack Traven and Annie Porter. We also talk about how Joss Whedon rewrote the Speed script and why we probably won't be seeing any new Jan de Bont movies any time soon. And although Dennis Hopper is a fantastic bad guy, we have a few questions about the logistics of his ransom / terrorist revenge plot. This is a true 90s classic and public transportation has never been sexier.

SUBCATEGORY: GETTING SOME ACTION

This week we're heading deep into the Colombian jungle for our first action adventure romantic-comedy, Romancing the Stone (1984). This movie is a romance novel, a treasure hunt, and a comedy all rolled into one, and we are here for it! Join us as we discuss how both Elena AND Chelsea got Douglased by the original rat boy, Michael Douglas, why Kathleen Turner on the other hand should never be described as "mousy", and how this movie single-handedly launched Zemeckis' career and gave him free reign to make Back To The Future! Plus we discuss our love for Danny DeVito, some behind the scenes secrets and mayhem that took place with one of the crocodiles on set, and ponder why men are so obsessed with boats.

If you love romantic comedies, '80s movies, adventure films, Kathleen Turner, Michael Douglas, treasure hunts, and mudslides, then this episode is for you!

DOWN IN THE DUMPS

This week on Podstruck: A Rom-Com Rewind, we close out our collection of break up romantic comedies with the Jason Segel 2008 romp Forgetting Sarah Marshall. This Judd Apatow produced comedy doesn't shy away from meandering for the sake of hilarious bits, even though his initial writing advice was not focused on the comedy. Chelsea and Elena also dive into the great divergence of Mila Kunis and Kristen Bell who honor the old brunette vs. blonde trope, the connection that this movie has to Broadcast News, how Mila Kunis' on-set jet ski accident cost her a role in another film, and the douches we've both dated (inspired by Russell Brand's d-bag rock star Aldous Snow). It's a movie stacked with hilarious side characters proving there's a reason we can never forget Forgetting Sarah Marshall.
