Summary
For our first deep-dive into How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, we wanted to look at the history of the rom-com genre. To help us dig into it, we called up the incredible Kathleen Karlyn, the founding director of the Cinema Studies program at University of Oregon and author of The Unruly Woman: Gender and the Genres of Laughter.
We wanted to know: Where does the history of the rom-com start? What do people mean when they say something is a ‘battle of the sexes’ movie? and how do gender norms and ideals inform this particular movie?

| 0:51.3 | I can do work with me here. |
| 0:54.4 | And I am so excited to sort of talk about the kind of art that you get to Crete |
| 1:00.4 | when you have privacy and you're free from scrutiny and self-examination. |
| 1:07.0 | I'm so excited to explore all of that at the beautiful auto camp where everybody is going to have a private 1950s air stream that's been converted into like a |

| 1:25.4 | I'm so excited. |
| 1:26.8 | Everybody, this is going to be November 8th through 11th |
