What happened to the romantic comedy? Despite being on constant rotation on cable TV, they’ve largely disappeared from the modern cinemaplex – but can they come back? In this episode, we discuss the downfall and future prospects of the rom-com with screenwriter Marc Klein, noted crafter of beloved versions of the genre such as Serendipity with Kate Beckinsale and A Good Year with Russell Crowe. As Marc helps the guys drink three wines Ben found at the BevMo Five-Cent Sale, he traces the history of the romantic comedy – from When Harry Met Sally to Sleepless in Seattle to Ten Things I Hate About You – and how the genre’s temporary stall might have as much to do with changes in our courtship customs as it does with studio financing. Oh yeah, and we also talk about the three years Marc’s dad spent as a casino executive for Donald Trump. So, you know, there’s that.
