Summary

We are 94 weeks away from the 100th Academy Awards; follow Adam, Drew, and Sarah as they go from strangers to lovers of the seventh Best Picture winner - 1934's It Happened One Night.


Calling all Capra-corns, we're watching the first rom-com to win Best Picture - It Happened One Night. Part romance, part screwball comedy and part road trip movie, this movie follows spoiled heiress Ellie Andrews as she tries to get from Florida to New York on the low with charming reporter Peter Warne by her side. It Happened One Night is a stone-cold classic of it's genre, but can the same be said for its Best Picture legacy?

In this episode you're gonna hear:
  • A comprehensive history of the romantic comedy genre
  • Sarah cringe at Drew and Adam film-bro'ing up her favorite type of movie
  • How Bi Panic existed in full force in 1934
  • A bunch of unhinged recasts for this iconic actor pairing
