When you think of romcoms, which rom-com star comes to mind? Julia Roberts? Meg Ryan? Reese Witherspoon?

Today on the podcast, the right answer is Sandra Bullock. Lucy and I are taking a look at 3 of Sandy’s classic rom-com roles from 1995 - 2009; Lucy in While You Were Sleeping, Lucy in Two Weeks Notice, and Margaret in The Proposal.

How have these movies aged? Does the portrayal of women get better or worse as the years progress? Lucy and I went on a wild ride to find out. There was sweetness, there was conflict, and in the end, our mutual hate of one of these movies reunited us.

Lucy is a frequent contributor to the podcast. She’s a post-graduate researcher focusing on mental illness in sitcoms and previously she’s been on the show to discuss women in sitcoms, the portrayal of women in BoJack Horseman, and the women of the MCU.
