Description
Abby Salzberg and Riley Cecil Taggart take guests back to the most culturally chaotic decade in (their) recent memory: 2000-2010. In each episode, they’ll dive into guests’ early 2000s experience before unpacking a topic that helped shape who they are today, whether it be a movie, TV show, or outdated celebrity. This incredibly important podcast begs the question: does it hold up or is Hindsight really 2000?

Let’s get LOUD!! In today’s episode, Riley and Abby sit down with comedian Erin Keif to discuss the J. Lo classic, The Wedding Planner. They dig into what makes 2000s romcoms awful and spectacular, such as Matthew McConaughey’s charming gaslighting, Judy Greer’s always-a-bridesmaid-never-a-bride-career, and, for better or for worse (probably worse) J. Lo’s influence on our generation’s romantic relationships. There’s simply no better way to close out Season One!
