The Matt Walsh Show

Matt Walsh referenced the book while debating abortion rights, pointing out that its young female characters would be unable to obtain abortions if the story were set today and mocking the idea of worrying about fictional characters' reproductive access. He noted he had never seen the film and used it merely as an illustrative example.

Episode: Ep. 1054 - Rappers Are Dying Left And Right From T...

Walsh referenced the film (and implicitly the novel) The Devil Wears Prada while discussing women's rights and abortion.

"

it grieves her to consider that the young female characters in Devil Wears Prada would not be able to have abortions if the film was set in the current day. ... the movie has a rather dim view of selfish careerobsessed people.

Episode: Ep. 1054 - Rappers Are Dying Left And Right From T...

Walsh mocked the idea of worrying about abortion rights for fictional characters, using The Devil Wears Prada as an example of a story whose characters would be unable to obtain abortions if set today.

"

She says that if the film was set in the current day, the Devil Wears Prada would not be able to have abortions. It is to begin with extremely strange to worry about the availability of abortion for fictional characters.

I've never seen the Devil Wears Prada, but I'm pretty sure that the film is largely set in New York. Women in New York can still get abortions unless they don't exist because they're fictional, which is a logistical problem that will prevent them from doing a lot of things, including getting abortions.

Episode: Ep. 1054 - Rappers Are Dying Left And Right From T...

Walsh argued that the novel's female characters would be unable to obtain abortions, noting he had never seen the film but assumed it was set in New York.

All Ears English Podcast

In one episode, Aubrey brought up the title while noting that the film's opening credits refer to it as "based upon the novel by" rather than "based on."

Episode: AEE 2181: You Can Rely Upon Us For English Grammar

The movie "The Devil Wears Prada" was mentioned. The movie is based on a novel and usually credits say "based upon" the novel by rather than "based on".

It's always on the airlines. I love it. And at the beginning of the movie, it said based upon the novel by XYZ. There's so many movies that are based upon novels, but my point is they always say based, usually they say based upon the novel by not based on.
