Chapter 28: The Idea of You (Movie Recap)
Manage episode 417247406 series 3525557
Fueled by Mexican food, gin cocktails and a bottle of rosé, we're sharing our live reactions to the film adaptation of The Idea of You by Robinne Lee. We gathered at Steph's house to watch the movie together and boy do we have thoughts. We break down our approach to managing expectations when books head to screen, why many of these productions should come with a "loosely inspired by" warning, the shocking changes to the lead character of Solene, the switch up of the primary conflict in the plot, and how Nicholas Galitizine can save any scene. We also chat about the habit of rewatching, and share our review of the Zendaya movie Challengers, which we saw together in the theatre. We chat about the scenes filmed at Kaitlin and Molly's alma mater, Wheaton College, and deep dive on our fascination with actor Mike Faist. We close our discussion with what we're reading right now, during which Molly made Steph tear up by reading a particular excerpt from an acknowledgements section. This episode is a wild one!
