  • Summary

  • On this episode, I am joined by romantic comedy scholar Ella Cerón, who is also the author of the excellent coming-of-age YA novel Viva Lola Espinoza. We talked about rom-coms and their tropes, especially focusing on Pride & Prejudice (2005) and Fire Island. Ella also recommends a bunch of her favorite romantic comedies, explains who Mr. Wickham is and why he’s an example of an important archetype, caramel Frappuccinos on Christmas, and much more. Come for the deep dive, stay for the stray meows from Ella's cat, Olive.
