This week we delve into the rich history of women's pictures and explore the evolution of romantic comedies or "chick flicks". From their glory days when they ruled the box office with huge celebrity names to the "dry spell" that they went through in recent years.

We'll examine the various factors that led to the decline of the rom-com genre and the cultural shift that left these films relegated to the background. But hold on, as we might be in the midst of a resurgence of rom-coms and chick flicks! With streaming platforms leading the charge and big names making a return to the genre, we'll discuss how these films are once again capturing the hearts of audiences... including ourselves.
