Problematic Rom Coms

Wild Women Rise Podcast

When was the last time you watched a RomCom? If you are anything like Suzanne and Nikole, you grew up on a steady stream of romantic comedies. Whether it was the girl didn't realize she was pretty until she had a makeover, subtle references to SA, stalker tendencies framed as romantic, blatant racism, significant misogyny, or a whole host of other issues – RomComs did not age well. 

On today's episode, the Wild Women dive into destroying some of their adolescence by acknowledging how creepy and fucked many of the tropes used in almost all RomComs really were and how fast they would get people cancelled. Grab your favorite flavor of Haterade, but we are about to destroy your feelings about movies you probably still love.
