The Wedding Planner with Liza Treyger: Rom-Com Vom

J.Lo and Matthew McConaughey star in one of the most early 2000s rom-coms of all time, complete with a near-death meet-cute and a love triangle that ignores all workplace ethics. But is The Wedding Planner actually romantic...? Or just a lesson in emotional cheating?

This week, comedian Liza Treyger joins DB to unpack the film’s messy gender politics, its weird obsession with wedding culture, and why Steve might be one of rom-com history’s most gaslight-y love interests.

GUEST DETAILS Named one of Variety’s “Top Ten Comics to Watch,” and a comic who 'shines where sex and politics intersect’ by The New York Times, Liza’s first ever hour-long comedy special entitled “Night Owl” is heading to Netflix and will drop globally on January 28, 2025. It comes on the heels of “Glittercheese,” a half-hour she taped for Comedy Central, as well as a half-hour she put together for Netflix’s stand-up collection “The Degenerates.” A true multi-hyphenate, in addition to working in film and television, Liza hosts the successful podcast That’s Messed Up: An SUV podcast (Exactly Right Media) which averages over half a million monthly downloads.
