Chasing Amy


Listen Later

The last entry for romantic movie month (though technically a day late) is Chad's pick of Chasing Amy. This was Kevin Smith's third-ever movie and is quite the change of pace from the outrageous comedies of Clerks and Mallrats.


Ben Affleck stars in one of his first ever leading roles as comic book artist Holden O'Neil who meets-cute with fellow comic book creator Alyssa Jones (Joey Lauren Adams) who turns out to be a lesbian... or is she?


This movie was pretty progressive and groundbreaking at the time as there weren't any mainstream comedies interested in LGBT issues. But does it seemed dated and politically incorrect in 2026? (Cristina thinks so, but Chad disagrees). Is it still a legit funny comedy or just a tearjerker? Both? Neither? Listen and find out!
