It’s Election Day, but instead of focusing on politics, we decided to do something a little lighter for the occasion: we’re looking at this year’s hot mom rom-com boom. Host Brittany Luse is joined by New York Magazine features writer Rachel Handler to get a little deeper into three movies from this genre: A Family Affair, The Idea of You, and Between the Temples. They discuss how hot moms on screen have changed, but why movies like these often still feel behind the times.
This episode was produced by Liam McBain and Barton Girdwood, with additional support from Alexis Williams and Corey Antonio Rose. This episode was edited by Jessica Placzek and Jasmine Romero. Engineering support came from Neal Rauch. Our Executive Producer is Jasmine Romero. Our VP of Programming is Yolanda Sangweni.
For Iris van Herpen, couture is a laboratory as much as a runway. Our chief fashion critic, Vanessa Friedman, takes us inside this Dutch designer’s latest Paris show — from sci-fi-inspired gowns to an audacious attempt at a dress made of charged plasma.
