The golden era of the 'chick flick' in the late 90s/ early 2000s saw the release of '13 going on 30,' 'Clueless' and 'How to lose a guy in 10 days.' But have we seen such an array of iconic films in the years since?

This episode is a sort of manifesto for a change in the Romcom genre, a way to connect with that magic of the 'chick flick.'

Including a review of 'You've Got Mail,' this episode argues that Romcom's are at their best when based on classical literature.

The second and final part to the analysis of 'The Woman In Me' by Britney Spears. This episode dissects the overarching theme of trauma throughout the book and explores how trauma can help frame our perception of love. Working through the book's earliest chapters of Britney's family and childhood and exploring her relationship with Justin Timberlake and Kevin Federline alike, we discuss how trauma influences our relationships.
