Woman Inherits the Earth: Something’s Gotta Give

In this, the Something’s Gotta Give episode of the pod, Beth and Tess discuss the Diane Keaton classic Something’s Gotta Give, Diane Keaton’s enduring legacy, Diane Keaton and Nancy Meyers’ working relationship, creepy old men in film as written by men and women, stereotypes about older women, how we sanitize predatory behavior, and whether we can actually get on board with the primary relationship in this film.

Content warning: some mild language, discussion of sex, and discussion of power imbalances and abuse in age-gap relationships.

A note about spoilers: As much as we’d love to make this a spoiler-free podcast, the truth is, we can’t really get much of a discussion going without completely spoiling the plot of the film we’re talking about. If you don’t want to be spoiled, watch the movie before you listen to us.
