The Rom Complex

The real drama of The Drama (2026) is that no characters spend the entire movie telling Zendaya how beautiful she is. We discuss this divisive new film along with empathy, the ability to change, and an outsider's perspective on the US.

We know you're not getting enough Dakota Johnson in your life, so we're covering 2025's Splitsville to try to make up the deficit. But be warned, this film is aware of how UNromantic it is.

Love Me, Love Me (2026) has it all--love triangles, motorcycles, underground teen fighting rings--you name it! But is it any good? Well, I think we're going to need a more complex scale to nail that one down.

It's got drama, it's got Colleen Hoover's unique brand of storytelling, and it's got Tyriq Withers's baby-blues--it's the new romance Reminders of Him (2026). We talk through the whole movie until we have only one question left: is that a freaking pigeon?

We do not know how to ride a motorcycle, but we're still ready to rev your engines as we discuss the darkly funny romance Pillion. We also chat about tiny glasses, figuring out your boundaries, and the things we'd do if Alexander Skarsgård asked us.

Tubi has brought us a high school rom-com with surprising depth of feeling in Kissing is the Easy Part (2026). We chat about the stories we inherit from our parents, the attractiveness of nice nerds, and why you simply should not agree to underhanded deals with physicists.

We're joined by writer/director/actor/friend Susan Kemp to discuss one of her favorite romances, All the Real Girls (2003). We chat about the realities of young love, blooming late, and how sometimes an actor is just a guy. See more of Susan on Instagram and Youtube @susiekemp.

We hit the theaters to see what Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi get up to in the moors in Wuthering Heights (2026). The answer may surprise you by being not-all-that surprising. Let's go get our ears pierced!

What more research did we need to do other than "Relationship Goals (2026) is a new romcom starring Kelly Rowland"? It turns out she plays a boss babe who needs a little help with love from the big man upstairs, and I don't mean Method Man.

Tubi has your enemies-to-lovers high school romcom fix available in the form of How to Lose a Popularity Contest (2026). Will the highly-motivated nerd end up with the slacker jock? And do they deserve each other? Find out here!
