Hello and welcome to Glamrs Trash. I'm your host, Chelsea Devontes. This is a special collab episode. We are talking about Nancy Meyers, the movie Something's Gotta Give. We're pulling in books, we're pulling in films. It's gonna be a really fun episode with some of my favorite co-hosts. They've been on this podcast a lot.
What insights from Diane Keaton’s memoir are shared?
They did our Matthew McConaughey episodes, plural. And so if you like this episode, you will love their podcast. Let's dive in. Hello and welcome to a special collab episode of Glamorous Trash and Podstruck. Today we are talking about the movie Something's Gotta Give, a rom-com about how falling in love after 50 is beautiful. Just not as beautiful as a beach house in the Hamptons. And we will also be giving some extra background, a little literary stuff coming in here, on the movie. And we're going to be pulling from Diane Keaton's memoir, Then Again. Plus, a Nancy Meyers biography slash possibly this was like a published PhD that I purchased for $30, simply titled Nancy Meyers. And after getting that book and reading it, which was a textbook and I loved, I thought, I think we're going to need some other stuff.
What role does Nancy Meyers play in romantic comedies?
So we will also be pulling in some extra research from interviews from Nancy Meyers herself. So I'm Chelsea Devantez, the host of Glamorous Trash, the podcast that discusses female celebrity memoirs and trashy discourse to elevate your life. And since this is a special collab episode, I'm now going to throw to the hosts of Podstruck, one of which has a name extremely similar to my own and will sure to keep you guessing the rest of the episode. It's me, Elena.
Elena and Chelsea.
Yes. Hi, we're Alenna Crivello and Chelsea Davison, not Devontaze. We are the hosts of Podstruck, a rom-com rewind where we look back at classic rom-coms to discuss all the things we were too lovestruck to notice the first time. Now, this film was written and directed by the Nancy Meyers, who is the filmmaker behind so many hits. The movie It's Complicated.
How do the hosts assess the chemistry between the actors?
Parent Trap with Lindsay Lohan. The Holiday. Father of the Bride 2. What Women Want. And before Nancy Meyers was a director, she wrote this screenplay for the OG Father of the Bride. Also Baby Boom, another Diane Keaton movie. And Private Benjamin. Plus so, so, so, so, so many more. And I just want to read this from the textbook that I spent way too much money on. But I think this is a great paragraph.
What are the significant moments in the film that stand out?
Okay. Despite being the most financially successful female director of all time, Nancy Meyers, quote, has not broken into the exclusive realm of celebrity directors, a category she delineates as considering of Hollywood's community of celebrated artistic directors. To account for this omission, she notes simply that there are two key factors. One, she is a woman, and worse still, she writes so-called chick flicks, which has meant that despite Meyer's consistent performance, her six films as director have generated over 1.3 billion in worldwide box office.
Would you agree? Completely. And it's also not surprising. It's like, look at the female directors now. It's still almost impossible to get anyone nominated for an Oscar, even if the movies are incredible.
