Hello, fellow movie fans. I'm Lily Percy, and I'll be your guide this week as I talk with Emily Vanderworth about the movie that changed her, Blockers.

If you haven't seen it, don't worry. We're going to give you all the details you need to follow along.

One of my favorite things about hosting this podcast is when I get to watch a movie for the first time, in preparation to talk to one of our guests.

And that's the case with this week's episode.

This movie, Blockers, has been a revelation for me.

I'm kind of surprised I didn't see it when it came out in 2018 because it's

right up my alley. I love sex comedies. And I especially love sex comedies directed by women,

like Blockers, which was directed by Kay Cannon, because they take the genre to a place that you

never expect. It's important that I say this, and I'm going to try not to repeat myself over and over

again, but Blockers is a sex comedy. It has vulgarity, it has crude jokes, and it talks very openly

about sexuality. It's produced by Seth Rogan, so if none of those things are exciting to you,

this is probably not the movie for you.

But if you're willing to set all those things aside, then this movie has so much more wisdom than you would think.

It's complicated about genders, it's complicated about love, it's complicated about sex,

and all that alongside some of the funniest jokes that you'll see in a comedy. I think Julie left her laptop open.

Julie's doing a lot of texting.

Is everything okay?

Maybe we should check to see?

Piece of mind.

Yeah.

What the hell is that?

Are you guys snooping on your kids?
