Romantic Comedy Reimagined

Jodi Walker and Nora Princiotti fire up the mics to recap ‘Nobody Wants This,’ the Netflix romantic comedy series starring Kristen Bell and Adam Brody. They discuss why it’s a rare case where a rom-com works better as a TV show, the intoxicating chemistry between Bell and Brody, and how the show dismantles the concept of the ick (1:12). Along the way, they talk about what it gets right (and wrong) in its portrayal of podcasting (42:58). Later, they examine some of the storytelling decisions that ultimately felt flat (52:51).

Hosts: Jodi Walker and Nora Princiotti
