A Plea for Libraries (Two Weeks Notice)
Listen now
Description
This week, our hosts find themselves embroiled in a discussion of the issues of philanthropy, system theory, and who should be driving community support projects. Is Two Weeks Notice the rom-com exploration of Audre Lorde's quote “For the master’s tool will never dismantle the master’s house. They may allow us temporarily to beat him at his own game, but they will never enable us to bring about genuine change"? Oh, and they chat about Hugh Grant and Sandra Bullock and how they make this seemingly incongruous movie worth the watch..Perhaps some backdrops for rom-coms are too difficult to get past, even with an amazing cast and excellent script.

The cinematic world of love and laughter had rom-com enthusiast Madison head over heels from the time Harry met Sally. For genre skeptic Chelsea, however, it’s been a grueling enemies-to-lovers plot. In Love at First Screening, Madison introduces Chelsea to all the fan-favorite love stories she’s never wanted to watch. One friend’s passion might be the other’s displeasure, but doesn’t love conquer all? Tune in every Wednesday to find out.
