On the podcast this week, Steven and Sean are falling for our first true loves… and then getting our hearts broken hard in the Cameron Crowe film from 1989, Say Anything.

If you didn’t want to be Lloyd Dobbler when you were just out of high school, then I’m just going to assume that you’re a liar, liar, pants on fire. Is he a little intense about life and work? Yeah, but then again, who wasn’t at that age? Who didn’t wax lyrical about the plight of the heart on its quest for love and acceptance?

Being the world’s worst poet is just a symptom of being young and seeing the world in a new and unadulterated way. You can’t help but put your entire self on the line when something captures your attention. It’s a fact of life that you’re going to run into a few immovable objects. If you don’t crash and burn a few times, then are you even really living life?

The hard part is when those immovable objects come in the form of unimpressed parents or spurned affections. That’s when things really hit the fan, as they say.

What’s a person to do when they fall in love with Diane Court, but her dad isn’t too fond of your lack of ambition and she’s about to jet off into her future? Well, most people might just give up and call it quits. Maybe they’d sleep around for a while. Perhaps travel across Europe, learning how to smoke cigarettes from French people, drink wine from Italians, and eat olives from Greeks. Lloyd isn’t most people, though.

He doesn’t give up on love. He keeps fighting for what he thinks is right. He does what he can to prove his worth. Does it sound like he can’t take a hint from Diane, in this case? Yeah, kind of. I mean, it’s almost fortunate for him that Diane’s dad was locked up in prison, otherwise she’d have no real reason to get back together with him. He wouldn’t be traveling to England with her. He’d end up looking desperate and verging on creepy.

But hey, things worked out for love. That makes for a great romance, right? Shame about her dad, though…
