Show Notes

This week on Every Rom Com, we’re kicking off our Gen-X Rom Com Series with a look at an 80’s indie film that served as an inspiration for the 90’s indie film movement. We’ll talk about changing attitudes towards non-monogamous relationships, LGBTQ representation, and consent. And we’ll explore the career of one of America’s best-known filmmakers as we discuss Spike Lee’s feature film debut, “She’s Gotta Have It.”
