30: Nights in Rodanthe with Jessica Ellis
Manage episode 467828822 series 2454239
This week, Phil and Emily continue their journey through 2000s cinema with Nights in Rodanthe, the 2008 Nicholas Sparks adaptation that brought Richard Gere and Diane Lane back together for another romantic whirlwind. Joining them is filmmaker and writer Jessica Ellis, who helps unpack why this film leans into peak Sparks melodrama—complete with stormy nights, second chances, and plenty of emotional turmoil.
From its sweeping coastal setting to its tearjerker ending, we break down how Nights in Rodanthe fits into the Nicholas Sparks cinematic universe, what makes it stand out from (or get lost among) his other adaptations, and why the 2000s were such a golden era for sentimental romance.
Grab your tissues and join us for a deep dive into one of the decade’s most Nicholas Sparks-y movies. 🎧✨
