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.
