Industry Tech Roundup: The Resurgence of Rom-Coms on Streaming, Plus Our Love Letter to J. Lo

It's romance season y'all and we’re doing it! We’re discussing the elite, noble, distinguished art form of - you guessed it - romantic comedies!  We begin the episode (00:00) by quickly recapping the latest with James Gunn, Peter Safran, and the new slate of content coming form DC Studios. In All Hands (7:01), we discuss the golden age of the cinematic romantic comedy, covering history, box office, and cultural impact. We consider the rom-com shift to streaming and list some of our favorites (21:51), before a little section to honor the MVP of rom-coms (32:11), J. Lo, and share the top 3 in her romantic filmography that are nearest and dearest to our hearts. In Missed Objectives and Key Results (54:58), we examine what led to the decline of rom-coms as a theater-worthy genre, and take a moment to weigh in on whether the revival of rom-coms on streaming is a fluke or a sure bet (1:09:44). In “Final Thoughts and Wrapup,” (1:22:36) we address the future of rom-coms and what other genres could use some of that streaming magic dust. And remember, we like you very much. Just as you are.
