Summary

Our Sweet Valley sweetie Jess Pan returns with the rom-com that changed the definition of what a rom-com could be. My Best Friend's Wedding gave us an anti-hero worth rooting for, a 'Gay Best Friend' that goes above and beyond the usual clichés, and an early Paul Giamatti role that makes you sit up and say "Is that Paul Giamatti?"


Jess Pan is the author of I'm Sorry I'm Late, I Didn't Want to Come and also the substack It'll Be Fun, They Said https://jesspan.substack.com/

0:52.9

would say, formidable former guests because you came on a few years ago to do

0:58.5

Sweet Valley High, which is a legendary episode. And as I mentioned to you before

1:02.6

we started taping, the episode people come up to me to say like, I'm a real fan of

the podcast. I've been listening to Sweet Valley High with Jess Pan. I listened to

1:23.1

asked you back on, you were like, listen, I'm having a child. I think you're

1:26.5

probably typing from labor. You're probably not for a while. And I was like, fine.

1:31.1

And then you started DMing me. So I'm ready to come back on the podcast now. Here's

1:35.7

some suggestions. Total silence. I was just sending, which is sending things like

1:41.2
