Episode 1: Sexist Rom-Coms, Fashion & Body Image

The Kiss Off

Welcome to the first ever episode of The Kiss Off -- a podcast about pop culture, feminism, and all around storytelling for 20-somethings. Hosted by your favorite millennial weirdos Arbela Capas and Nicole Bogdanovic. For our inaugural episode, we start off by talking about an old 200s rom-com called Rumor Has It and some of the ways it portrays women's stories versus men's, as well as the issue of age difference in romantic comedies. Then we dive into a conversation about fashion, how our bodies interact with clothing as well as how society tries to dictate what our body is supposed to look like. We also touch on how the standard is slowly changing via the media and social media, but there's still a lot of work left to do. Thanks for listening!
