STORM OF SPOILERS TOUR: Romance on a Cob
A GAME OF THRONES PODCAST THAT IS TALKING ABOUT OTHER GREAT POP CULTURE DURING THE OFF SEASON
With Joanna Robinson from Vanity Fair, Dave Gonzales, and Neil Miller from Film School Rejects!
Welcome to another off season tour episode of A STORM OF SPOILERS!
This week, in honor of Crazy Rich Asians in theaters and To All The Boys I've Loved Before on Netflix, the Storm of Spoilers Crew faces down Romantic Comedies. From each hosts definitions and theories on the genre, to their favorites, and finally reviews of the movies available in 2018 previously mentioned (and some Lovesick thrown in).

This week's closing track:
47 – “The Big Wave and The Sadness”
Featuring Katey Rich and Elizabeth Taylor’s Corpse In Space
This week, Joanna Robinson takes the reigns to bring her residency to a climactic happy ending, much like romantic comedies. That’s right, Manhattan Love Story and A to Z failed at bringing serialized rom-com to the TV screen so it’s time to examine this genre: can it be drawn out and still be satisfying? Did the genre grind to a halt after the execution of Love Actually? IMPORTANT THINGS! Also discussed: The theater critic in Birdman has us thinking about professions portrayed on film and John Wick has each host picking a favorite dumbly plotted movie.
