Summary

A true champion of the sweaty yet charming premise, How To Lose A Guy takes all the mid-noughties rom-com tropes and rolls them into one. A woman's magazine! An advertising campaign! A bet! An article! Friends! We discuss Kate Hudson's comedic gifts, the death of the bubblegum romcom and whether women's magazines even deserve a place in the culture. Check out Elizabeth Sankey's documentary Romantic Comedy for more, or her music at Summer Camp

I think that like, okay, so this is everyone can read so everyone knows the title is a guy in 10 days, the 2003 hit that started off the
1:06.1	juggernaut of Matthew McConnell Hayes' Romcom career of which I think we touched
1:11.4	on this in the Barbie episode but I speak a lot about the kind of the
