Summary

Jodi Walker and Nora Princiotti fire up the mics to recap ‘Nobody Wants This,’ the Netflix romantic comedy series starring Kristen Bell and Adam Brody. They discuss why it’s a rare case where a rom-com works better as a TV show, the intoxicating chemistry between Bell and Brody, and how the show dismantles the concept of the ick (1:12). Along the way, they talk about what it gets right (and wrong) in its portrayal of podcasting (42:58). Later, they examine some of the storytelling decisions that ultimately felt flat (52:51). Hosts: Jodi Walker and Nora Princiotti Producer: Kai Grady Additional Production Support: Justin Sayles Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
