This week Every Rom Com is leaving John Hughes (mostly) behind to enter the world of the Netflix teen rom com, with the popular 2018 streaming hit, “To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before”! We’ll discuss the film’s Asian-American representation, talk about the trend of YA novel adaptations, explore the fake-dating trope, and rate Peter Kavinsky as a rom com love interest! Cybil and Jen are joined this week by Ryan Pak, from the Soundtrack Your Life podcast!  GUEST BIO:Ryan has a degree in Film Studies, and he’s a musician. So, Soundtrack Your Life is the perfect intersection of his two main passions. Plus, he’s an avid music fan—hunting down rare songs from his favorite bands has familiarized him with many obscure soundtracks over the years. It's been so gratifying for him to hear fellow film and music enthusiasts share their stories of why they love soundtracks!Where To Find Ryan’s Work:Website: https://www.soundtrackyourlife.netInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/soundtrackcastTwitter: https://www.twitter.com/soundtrack_your https://www.destinationvancouver.com/vancouver/filmed-in-vancouver/suggested-vancouver-itineraries-and-maps/to-all-the-boys-i-loved/ https://variety.com/2018/scene/news/to-all-the-boys-ive-loved-before-lana-condor-diversity-1202908675/ http://www.koreatimesus.com/hollywood-come-calling-for-jenny-hans-ya-books/   More Info On Jenny Han:https://www.jennyhan.com/ https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/tv/story/2023-07-06/summer-i-turned-pretty-jenny-han-to-all-the-boys-xo-kitty http://www.koreatimesus.com/hollywood-come-calling-for-jenny-hans-ya-books/  More Info On Lana Condor:https://www.businessinsider.com/lana-condor-had-the-perfect-response-to-claims-that-shes-not-asian-enough-2018-11  For more information on Israel Broussard, who plays Josh, check out Every Rom Com Episode 22 on Happy Death Day: https://www.everyromcom.com/podcast-1/episode/78fc04f6/every-rom-com-22-happy-death-day    https://www.destinationvancouver.com/vancouver/filmed-in-vancouver/suggested-vancouver-itineraries-and-maps/to-all-the-boys-i-loved/   More Info On Yakult:https://mashable.com/article/to-all-the-boys-ive-loved-before-yakult#Fpqb5jXpROqZ    Some Criticisms of To All The Boys: https://www.indiewire.com/news/general-news/to-all-the-boys-ive-loved-before-netflix-jenny-han-no-asian-male-love-interest-1201995975/https://planamag.com/to-all-the-boys-ive-loved-before-has-creepy-racial-things-going-on/ https://slate.com/culture/2018/08/to-all-the-boys-ive-loved-before-movie-review-netflixs-new-rom-com-pales-next-to-crazy-rich-asians.html Some Praise:https://www.dazeddigital.com/film-tv/article/41084/1/to-all-the-boys-ive-ever-loved-before-jenny-han-netflix-lana-condor https://www.stylist.co.uk/life/to-all-the-boys-ive-loved-before-ps-i-still-love-you-netflix-romcom-diversity/354777 https://www.nytimes.com/2018/11/06/t-magazine/asian-american-actors-representation.html    Some Soundtrack Info:https://www.popbuzz.com/tv-film/features/to-all-the-boys-ive-loved-before-soundtrack/
