YouTube Description
as posted by the channelWhen you think of romantic comedies, you might think about ludicrous plot lines and a shirtless Matthew McConaughey. You might also think about Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan, public orgasms in diners, the Empire State Building and Nora Ephron’s snappy dialogue.
Not all Rom-Coms are created equal. But they’ve all helped shape our ideas about love, sex, relationships and all the expectations in between.
Nora Ephron changed the romantic comedy genre by changing how male characters were depicted. In this special episode of Pop Americana, Sana Saeed looks at Ephron’s three most iconic and genre-defining films and how they engage with the question of men, emotions and masculinity.
