Every Rom Com 37: My Best Friend's Wedding
Episode description
This week on Every Rom Com we go to the dark-ish side of the rom com genre and join Julia Roberts on her mission to break up a wedding in “My Best Friend’s Wedding.” On the way we explore the gay best friend trope via perhaps the most-beloved gay best friend in rom com history; we mostly succeed at a wedding music trivia challenge; and we talk about an epic karaoke scene with Ed Cunard from the karaoke podcast, The Greatest Song Ever Sung (Poorly). Stay to the end for the lowdown on the film’s terrible original ending and our always delightful, sometimes surprising double feature recommendations!
