So many mixed signals, zero boundaries, animal neglect, and of course a bet. This week we are talking about 2003 Rom-Com How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days starring Kate Hudson & Matthew McConaughey.

In this episode, we're unpacking the film's portrayal of attachment styles, the troubling tropes it perpetuates, and the fantasy vs. reality of rom-com relationships.

Together, we'll debunk the myth of the “cool girl” and question the slew of unrealistic expectations set by the characters.

We'll also explore the missed opportunity for a more authentic resolution, calling out the need for real, nuanced conversations instead of flashy, empty gestures.

Are the main characters truly compatible, or is it just Hollywood's magic at work? We'll confront the classic romantic conundrum – should grand gestures seal the deal, or is it time for rom-coms to get real?

Join us as we navigate these tropes and more, looking at everything from family dynamics and attachment theory to the symbolic love fern (will it ever survive?).

Plus, Kira shares some fascinating trivia about the film's iconic yellow dress and muses over potential casting scenarios.
