Every Rom Com is an entertainment podcast where we have fun taking romantic comedies seriously. We cover a wide range of romantic comedies from classic to contemporary, blockbusters to independents. Our podcast goes beyond the usual suspects to include movies with diverse casts and LGBT representation, and we may also branch out into foreign films. In addition to providing reviews, we also provide cultural analysis and feminist perspectives. This podcast is intended for mature audiences and may, at times, contain adult language or subject matter.
