In this episode, EDJ, Amy and Thea recap the 2003 romantic comedy Down with Love, a colorful homage to the glamorous screwball comedies of the early 1960s. Beneath its playful style, witty dialogue, and impeccable costumes lies a fascinating conversation about gender, feminism, workplace dynamics, and the cultural expectations of its era. We explore whether the film succeeds as both a loving parody and a meaningful social critique, discussing where its satire lands—and where it falls short by today's standards. In This Episode The performances, chemistry, costumes, and visual style that make the film memorable. The film's take on feminism, gender expectations, and the battle of the sexes. Romance, consent, and power dynamics in interpersonal relationships. How misogyny, homophobia, and outdated stereotypes are presented—and whether the movie critiques or reinforces them. Whether the movie's satire still resonates with fourth wave feminist audiences since this movie was made during the third wave of feminism How we'd update Down with Love perhaps in a 1980s context with a #metoo feminist lens projection of fourth wave feminism
