Episode description
For our next deep-dive into How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, we wanted to better understand the story structure of a Rom-Com. We called up the delightful Hannah Giorgis, a film critic for The Atlantic, to help us break down the three-act structure and how it operates in this film.
Hannah brought some great citations and resources to the show:
- “You’re So Vain”: An Oral History of How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days
- The Big Sleepover:The fatal flaw of How To Lose a Guy in 10 Days
- This tweet about romcom women being as annoying as possible
