They Don't Make 'Em Like They Used To: The Rom-Com Decline
What happened to the golden age of the romantic comedy? In this episode, we unpack why Hollywood stopped making rom-coms the way they used to — from shrinking budgets and the rise of streaming to the A-listers who've stepped away from the genre. Where are the next Reese Witherspoons, Matthew McConaugheys, and Kate Hudsons? And why do so many Netflix rom-coms just feel… off?
We also look back at the comedies of the past that blended heart, humor, and genuine romance — the ones that made us believe in finding love and movie magic.
