I think that's something that I've realized too.

I don't know like what your experience has been with this, but I feel like as a viewer, sometimes I watch movies

like rom-coms, like the newer, you know, some, not always.

And I don't want to like yuck anyone's yum by any means, but sometimes I do feel like they were made by people who don't love the genre or maybe they were, they were probably originally written and directed by people who love the genre, but the powers that be or whatever, you know, there's so many voices.

Yeah.

And, and like, I have this writer friend, uh, who we joke that it's like, they're sort of like there, I bet you like that piggy.

And they're like, they're like,

slopping it down.

Yeah.

And you're like, could you ask someone like why we love this genre and what it means to us and why it matters?

And could you take it seriously?

And by extension, take us seriously for a minute.

And I think that this movie it's, they really did it.

Like everybody believed that this was like a piece of art.

it doesn't have to be like the most serious piece of art or like the most life-changing piece of art but i think that they saw like this is something that has emotional value and like profundity to it like like alex and poppy's story i think is so relatable that like i feel like i'm constantly in that push and pull of am i too much am i not enough like that's just such a real human fear that can get in the way of our intimacy and and yeah i just feel like

I want to see, there's so many great romance novels out there and I want to see so many more rom-com films that give the stories at their heart the care and love that they deserve.

Yeah, absolutely.

And because this was so well done, I was like, okay, give me more.

Yeah.

And Netflix wants to.
