Summary

This week, we're joined in the studio by fellow Forever Dog podcast host, Unofficial Expert's Sydnee Washington. We discuss What Men Want, the 2019 release starring Taraji P. Henson and based on the premise of Nancy Meyers' What Women Want (2000). We talk about the way the film approaches feminism, the ideal height of male romantic leads, Tracy Morgan's role, and the trope of women needing to hit their heads on screen to earn respect.
