New episode! We are charmed by Daniel Radcliffe and Zoe Kazan (and Adam Driver and Mackenzie Davis) in „The F Word“, an indie romcom out of Toronto that more people should have seen, but also more people than we thought have seen. Ok, a medium amount of people have seen this. Be one of them!

Serendipity is so underrated. The leads‘ chemistry, stacked supporting cast, superb cinematography, great location shoots, amazing soundtrack, the writing just flows. One of those where you wonder why it wasn‘t a bigger hit. More soon on @infrontofira.bsky.social.

On the third ep of our podcast 2 years ago we talked about „Something‘s Gotta Give“, which arguably features one of Diane Keaton‘s best comedic performances!
Our third episode on Nancy Meyers‘ „Something‘s Gotta Give“ (2003) is out now! Link in bio or wherever you listen to podcasts. #romcom #romcompodcast #nancymeyers

Watching Fools Rush In for the first time and I have *thoughts* (which will end up on @infrontofira.bsky.social)

thank you!! And uh, what a year it has been, stay tuned… ?!
This episode got me listening to "In Front of Ira" last year (so good and funny, a balm in These Times). But is there going to be a one-year followup to the episode as promised?? Inquiring minds want to know! @marisakabas.bsky.social @infrontofira.bsky.social

It‘s Cher‘s birthday so why not watch „Moonstruck“ and then listen to our episode about this great film?

They‘re correct about number 1 but Anora is still not a romcom

Wie großartig ist allein der Podcast-Name „In Front of Ira“.
Der Podcast ist auf Englisch und es reden zum Glück mal nicht zwei Dudes über Filme. Es gibt 38 KuWi-RomCom-Besprechungen (auch mit Gästen). Sehr schick!
Zwar ein Hobbyprojekt aber auch nicht soweit weg von meiner Arbeit: mein guter Freund und Kollege @kathke.com & ich haben einen Podcast in dem wir aus Romantic Comedies durch kulturwissenschaftliche Linse betrachten: @infrontofira.bsky.social. Findet ihr überall wo ihr auch sonst Podcasts hört!

Ein wirklich guter Film. Kann man in GER auf Prime und bei Joyn streamen.

New episode: Never Been Kissed!
Sabrina and Torsten have never been kissed by Michael Vartan, which is a thing they have in common with Drew Barrymore’s character in this teen movie that can’t quite decide what it wants to be, except somehow both charming and problematic. The 90s, man…

New episode! Sabrina and Torsten go to Alaska with Canadian Sandra Bullock and American Ryan Reynolds so she can get a Green Card in „The Proposal“. High jinx ensue, except all jokes about the U.S. immigration system hit different these days. 🙃

New episode out now!

@smittermeier.bsky.social and @kathke.com talk about “It’s Complicated,” a movie about Meryl Streep having an affair with her ex Alec Baldwin, John Krasinski reacting to things, and also remodeling a home with Steve Martin. Trust us, it all makes sense.

New episode! Sabrina and Torsten are still in Sabrina’s kitchen, but really they're on Andrew Ahn’s “Fire Island” (2022) watching Joel Kim Booster and Bowen Yang put the Pride in “Pride in Prejudice.”

New episode! Neither @kathke.com nor me is selling or buying anything as our respective career, instead we‘re sitting in my kitchen talking about romcoms.
No But Really, “Say Anything”!
- Torsten has joined Sabrina in her kitchen to say something about “Say Anything,” the 1989 Cameron Crowe directorial debut starring Ione Skye and John Cusack that features THAT boombox in front of the window scene.

Remember the only time we had a guest cause we sure do
You can now listen to this episode with newly remastered sound! (We originally published it so fast and furious that the quality was a bit lacking, so if you gave up the first time around, now is your chance to catch up.)
