Continuing the Sports Vs. Love rom-com trope, this week Podstruck covers the genre defying Criterion Collection classic from 2000, Love & Basketball. We are joined by special guest and host of the Glamorous Trash podcast Chelsea Devantez to gush over the all-star cast featuring Omar Epps, Sanaa Lathan, Alfre Woodard, Regina Hall, Boris Kodjoe, Gabrielle Union, Tyra Banks and more. We discuss how writer/director Gina Prince-Bythewood inspires us, the break from traditional rom-com structure, and how this movie addresses sexism in ways the Barbie movie can't. Plus we talk about strip basketball, licking booty sweat, slut shaming, Mormon crushes, and more.
