Late to the Party with Nikki & Bri

Nikki Jensen and Bri Picone

Late to the Party is a film, fashion, and pop culture podcast. Check in every Thursday to hear hosts Nikki Jensen and Bri Picone discuss the age-old question: why was the Chanel S/S 1996 runway show SO iconic? Lament about Dakota Johnson's Architectural Digest interview, and give their full thesis on why Sofia Coppola is their favorite nepo baby (and should be yours too). We are curious about why we are so collectively obsessed with film and pop culture and how it shapes us into the weirdos that we are. Nikki and Bri are here to crash your party... we just might be late.

Late to the Party with Nikki & Bri

05/02/24 • 86 min

Did Anyone but You breathe new life into the rom-com genre? This week on Late to the Party, we delve into the film with Sam & Shelby from The Rom Complex! Join us for a deep dive into the movie's loose (and very 90s) Shakespearean adaptation.

We'll unpack the classic enemies-to-lovers trope and the hilarious "fake-dating scheme gone right" storyline. We also dish on Glen Powell's leading man charm and Sydney Sweeney's rise as a rom-com It girl.

But it wouldn't be a rom-com without a side of reality! We'll also discuss the PR relationships and the strategic use of the now-iconic Natasha Bedingfield song. Is the rest of the genre's future still unwritten?

(15:24) – The “Meet Cute”

(30:38) – The Soundtrack
