But romantic comedies have been filmic because there's an end point.

And that end point is typically marriage, right?

The couple get married.

They live happily ever after.

There's some great TV about what happens.

after the happily ever after, but it's hard to disrupt the perfection of that arc.

And so it's always a challenge for romantic comedy.

I think we're in a place where people are trying again, and I love to see it.

Like all I want, I love love.

I want to think it's possible, not for me, but for others.

Yeah.

I don't want it, but I love to see it.

And I thought that this year there were some really good attempts.

I enjoyed Too Much, which is Alina Dunham romantic comedy, which was on Netflix.

I love Megan Stalter, who some of us...

the star of that show who some of us will know from Hacks and some of us will know from her Demented, and I mean that in the most positive way, comedy videos.

And she plays an American who moves to England with all kinds of crazy romantic ideas of what England is, most of which are unrealized, but falls in love.

I met someone.

And as with contemporary romantic comedies, there aren't problems of class or religion or other external exogenous things to keep people apart because...

It's fine.
