Does It Get the Pass?

Does It Get the Pass?

by

Just two girls and their arbitrary system for ranking romantic comedies against the world. Does It Get the Pass? examines romantic comedies throughout the ages to determine, as the title says, whether they get “the pass’ — i.e., avoid fulfilling a certain number of stereotypes — and what that means for our understanding of romance as a genre. All in good fun, hosts Maggie and Rebecca seek to pick apart the genre they love the most with humor and heart, and decide just what makes a good rom-com, whether it gets the pass or not.
