"You. F**king. Classist."

While Scotty was away exploring the Liminal Space Hotel at StokerCon this week, Amelia invited friend (and returning guest host) Elizabeth Dwyer onto The Weirdest Thing to talk about queering the rom-com canon. They discuss which literary and film classics could handle queer remakes, the importance of telling marginalized stories that de-center trauma, and ponder who the Queer Meg Ryan (Queen of Rom-Coms) will be!

They also discussed which queer or queer-coded characters they became aware of first, how problematic rom-coms can be in general, and how the rom-com genre really needs diversification across the board.
