Romance may not be at the center for the MCU, but it’s a persistent element regardless. This episode has Chris, Izzy, Anthony, and special guest, playwright Dave Harris (@StayDancingDave) dissect many of the canon pairings in the MCU films and shows. The conversation then turns into a discussion about why we look for well-written romance in fiction in general, as well as a talk about how the MCU depicts sex.
