Anyone But You

Anything but this, frankly. Anyone But You Year: 2023 Screenplay by: Ilana Wolpert and Will Gluck Story by: Ilana Wolpert  Directed by: Will Gluck Stars: Sydney Sweeney, Glen Powell   Show notes: Apologies to anyone who liked this film. We lay into it pretty comprehensively. But then, honestly, any time you want to set yourself up against William Shakespeare you’d better bring your very best (in our humble opinion). If you would like to skip the plot summary for this month’s film you can spool forward a little over thirteen minutes into the episode. In this episode we talk a lot about the play Much Ado About Nothing by William Shakespeare, which this film makes much of being based on. You can read about it here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Much_Ado_About_Nothing. We also mention the films: Titanic (1997) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120338/) Much Ado About Nothing (1993) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0107616/)  Red, White & Royal Blue* (2023) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt10172266/) My Best Friend’s Wedding (1997) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0119738/) Set It Up (2018) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5304992/) Friends With Benefits* (2011) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1632708/) And the TV show The Bear (2022- ) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt14452776/) *Films marked with an asterisk have previously been featured on the podcast.
