This week on Every Rom Com we go to the dark-ish side of the rom com genre and join Julia Roberts on her mission to break up a wedding in “My Best Friend’s Wedding.” On the way we explore the gay best friend trope via perhaps the most-beloved gay best friend in rom com history; we mostly succeed at a wedding music trivia challenge; and we talk about an epic karaoke scene with Ed Cunard from the karaoke podcast, The Greatest Song Ever Sung (Poorly). Stay to the end for the lowdown on the film’s terrible original ending and our always delightful, sometimes surprising double feature recommendations!    Remember to also check out Ed’s awesome karaoke podcast where they have a trivia segment on every episode!: https://www.sungpoorly.com/   https://ew.com/movie-reunions/2019/02/07/my-best-friends-wedding-reunion-cover/  https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/lists/julia-roberts-cast-my-best-friends-wedding-now-1121064/  https://metro.co.uk/2017/06/20/my-best-friends-wedding-20-things-you-may-not-know-about-the-classic-rom-com-6677740/  https://www.vulture.com/2022/02/my-best-friends-wedding-ending-changed.html    For More Information On Screenwriter, Ronald Bass Check Out Episode 10 “How Stella Got Her Groove Back”: https://www.everyromcom.com/podcast-1/episode/2f31ba31/every-rom-com-10-how-stella-got-her-groove-back  Rupert Everett Information:  https://www.theguardian.com/film/2012/sep/28/rupert-everett-memoir-vanished-years  https://www.dailymail.co.uk/home/event/article-7209969/Rupert-Everett-reveals-went-wrong-Hollywood.html  Rupert Everett singing “Generation of Loneliness” in 1987: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WHIngA3cgz8        More On The Opening Sequence: https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1997-06-08-ca-1155-story.html  More On Dusty Springfield:  https://www.vice.com/en/article/j577kp/dusty-springfield-lgbtq-lesbian-biography  https://www.eriegaynews.com/news/article.php?recordid=201510dustyspringfield      https://www.gaystarnews.com/article/gay-best-friends-romantic-comedies-ranked/  https://ew.com/movies/evolution-gay-best-friend-romantic-comedies/  https://www.advocate.com/media/2020/11/20/history-gay-best-friend-film-and-tv#media-gallery-media-4  https://www.refinery29.com/en-us/2019/04/230318/the-perfect-date-murph-gay-best-friend  https://www.34st.com/article/2019/05/gay-best-friend-romantic-comedy-mean-girls-trope-lgbtq    More On The Karaoke Scene: https://www.marieclaire.co.uk/entertainment/tv-and-film/my-best-friends-wedding-karaoke-scene-537300     Info On The Singalong Scene And More: https://www.vulture.com/2022/02/my-best-friends-wedding-ending-changed.html      The Original/Alternate Ending https://ew.com/movies/2017/03/31/my-best-friends-wedding-alternate-ending/  Clip of the alternate ending: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZLNUAHiB2Kk
