Are Romantic Comedies Dead, Modern Romance, Heart Eyes, and Love Hurts

On this episode of The Hollywood Outsider podcast, it’s time to answer the question: are romantic comedies dead? Seriously, this was a genre that dominated movie theaters for years, and now they’re barely around except for the Hallmark Channel. We discuss not only the idea of how to revive the genre, but also what went wrong with modern romance that made us all fall out of love with love.

Also this week, we play a game where we take a famous quote from a Rom-Com and share why it just doesn’t work anymore, as well as reviews of Love Hurts and Heart Eyes. Let’s get on with the show!
