Soulmates & Smut

Soulmates & Smut

The world of romance movies and books is marketed predominantly to women, and yet is often seen as less than ‘real’ art. Loz is the apprentice, she has avoided romance entertainment most of her life. Em is the master, she’s a life-long lover of the genre. Together they are on a journey to discover, celebrate, (and often disagree!) about the movies and books of this complex, spicy, misunderstood, and yet deeply satisfying genre.
