This 1989 film, written and directed by Amy Heckerling, reflects many of the frustrating realities women face during pregnancy and early motherhood, including the ways pregnant women are treated like public property and how mothers are shamed no matter what they do. The comedy lets us laugh along with this cultural commentary, but it also perpetuates some regressive and anti-feminist views. The film wants us to believe Kirstie Alley’s Mollie and baby Mikey (voiced by Bruce Willis) need John Travolta’s James, despite the man’s questionable parenting choices and the inappropriate sexual comments he consistently makes to the baby. Like many 80s and 90s movies, Look Who’s Talking wants us to accept that women would be happier if they just relaxed.But even if this film doesn’t quite live up Emily’s Gen X nostalgia, the baby/ies is/are super cute, Bruce Willis’s voiceover acting is pretty funny, and there is always some feminism to be found in the 5% of films written and directed by women.We won’t tell you how to breathe or what to do with your ears. However you want to listen to this episode is entirely up to you!Mentioned in this episode:The Story of Harold Ramis and Amy Heckerling’s Secret Daughter ‘Look Who’s Talking’ Director Amy Heckerling Spills 7 Tidbits, 25 Years Later – Kirstie’s Crush, Travolta’s MovesHow Amy Heckerling tricked male execs into making ‘Look Who’s Talking’#52FilmsByWomen: Look Who's Talking (1989)Women's Pictures - Amy Heckerling's Look Who's TalkingTags: Deep Thoughts About Stupid Shit, women, feminism, romcom, comedy, film, 80s and 90s movies, gen x nostalgia, cultural commentary, classic movies, romance, analyzing film tropes, gen x childhood, film analysis, pop culture, movies, storytelling, Amy Heckerling, Kirstie Alley, John Travolta, Bruce WillisOur theme music is "Professor Umlaut" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Learn more about Tracie and Emily (including our other projects), join the Guy Girls' family, secure exclusive access to bonus content, live zooms with Tracie & Emily, discounts on merch, and early access to Deep Thou​​ghts by visiting us on Patreon or find us on ko-fi: https://ko-fi.com/guygirlsDon't miss out on updates and event invitations from Tracie & Emily!
