Red, White & Royal Blue: God Save The Peen (with Joshua Lee Kirby)
SUBCATEGORY: LOVE IS IN THE HEIRThis week we dive crown first into the campy rom-com revelation that is Red, White & Royal Blue! We are joined by special guest, and television writer, Joshua Lee Kirby (Fresh Off The Boat, The Real O'Neals) to discuss everything from Uma Thurman's "southern" accent, to dick puns, to our feelings on Meghan Markle of Sussex of Montecito. Listen along as we unpack whether Nicholas Galitzine and Taylor Zakhar-Perez have chemistry, whose eyelashes are real and whose are not, and decide what worked, and what did not...(We're looking at you weird New Years party scene with ten extras!) And Josh surprises us with a story about a night spent out on the town with our patron saint, Judy Greer!!!This episode was edited by Nick Duke: https://www.instagram.com/n_dukie/ Follow Josh Kirby on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/joshualeekirby/ Follow Podstruck on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/podstruckpod/Follow Podstruck on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@podstruckpodcastCheck out our Patreon and become a Meet Cutie: https://www.patreon.com/c/Podstruckpod Hosted on Acast.

Coming To America: Just Take The Earrings (with Jonathan Braylock)
SUBCATEGORY: LOVE IS IN THE HEIRIn this episode Elena and Chelsea cover an 80's classic, Coming To America, starring Eddie Murphy, Arsenio Hall, Eriq La Salle, Shari Headley, John Amos, and James Earl Jones! We are joined by our very first MALE guest, Jonathan Braylock (Black Men Can't Jump [In Hollywood], Grown-ish, Astronomy Club) to cover our first rom-com that is way more of a COM, than a ROM. It's an episode of firsts! And for a movie from the 80's, there is shockingly little to critique, so listen as we gush over everything from Arsenio Hall's Oscar worthy acting, to Eddie Murphy's bone structure, to our love for wild-child sister, Patrice. Plus we'll discuss why Elena (unsurprisingly) relates to Prince Akeem, and why Chelsea was afraid her dad might warn her husband NOT to marry her!

Roman Holiday: Princesses Gone Wild
SUBCATEGORY: LOVE IS IN THE HEIRTime for Podstruck to look back at a new subgroup of movies, this time all celebrating the Royal We, AKA rom-coms featuring Royalty. And what better film to start off with than 3x Oscar winning film 'Roman Holiday.; Not only does this 1953 love story make us want to visit Italy (with all of our Meet Cuties of course), it makes us appreciate Gregory Peck as a fighter, Audrey Hepburn as the prettiest person who ever lived, and the fact that doctors no longer just inject women with drugs every time they feel emotions. Plus we talk through whether bittersweet endings are a needed dash of realism or just a big ole bummer. Hop on your Vespa and follow us into a very fun vintage episode!

Magic Mike: Dry Humping Gets Sad (with Jordan Myrick)
SUBCATEGORY: SHALL WE DANCE?Podstruck takes one last dance in this subcategory to rewatch Steven Soderbergh's surprisingly bleak take on male strippers, 'Magic Mike.' Chelsea and Elena are joined by Jordan Myrick (Gastronauts on Dropout, Happy Wife Happy Life podcast) to argue over whether Channing Tatum is hot, which of the other male dancers captures our heart, and if this movie doesn't earn its ending or if we're just not used to Florida culture. We also ask whether Matthew McConaughey knows he's being filmed for a movie.
