Welcome to What She’s Having! Join us every Wednesday as we discuss a romantic comedy, including the incredibly moving, the genuinely hilarious, and the truly terrible. We take a magnifying glass to this most beloved and contentious genre, catapulting into discussions about gender roles in film, women behind the camera, our love of movies… some general ridiculousness… and quite a bit of nerding out. There will be gushing. There will be ranting. We will profess our love for John Cusack.
What She’s Having is hosted by Alia Miller and Lisa Kennedy and is produced independently in Toronto, ON.

Episode 80 – THE HOLIDAY
We celebrate the Holidays once again as we discuss the 2006 film The Holiday, which is surprisingly short on the holiday stuff and big on the painfully long scenes. A good starting premise is too-soon soaked with overblown hollywood embellishments, reminding … Continue reading →

Episode 79 – GROSSE POINTE BLANK
This week we discuss 1997’s Grosse Pointe Blank, starring John Cusack as a hit man, Dan Aykroyd as an evil hit man, and Minnie Driver as his love interest (Cusack’s not Aykroyd’s– that would be weird). We’re joined by Andrew Parker … Continue reading →

I'll Have What They're Having
Rom-coms are something of picked-on genre since so many of them seem to arrive with so little thought or care. Thankfully, Lisa and Alia are here to set people straight and point us all towards the good stuff. As for the bad stuff, they don't shy away from that either! Great chemistry, wry wit, and fun conversation abound on this podcast.
