Is it off-screen chemistry, or is it just good marketing? Hosts Sanjana Basker and Tyler McCall open with the Brett Goldstein and JLo Office Romance press tour&mdash;and what it means when a man manifests his lifelong crush into a co-starring role. Then scholar and author Nisha Sharma joins to talk about her research on dark romance and reproductive coercion, including how the genre&rsquo;s relationship to consent has shifted alongside the political landscape, and whether dark romance could do better without losing what makes it so compelling. Plus: a listener voicemail sends Sanj and Tyler deep into Off Campus territory. <ul> <li aria-level="1"><a href="https://www.netflix.com/title/81939823">Office Romance</a> starring JLo and Brett Goldstein is streaming now on Netflix&mdash;clearly we&rsquo;ll be discussing.</li> <li aria-level="1"><a href="https://nisha-sharma.com/">Nisha Sharma</a>, author of <a href="https://bookshop.org/p/books/the-letters-we-keep-nisha-sharma/c8a069dc36723e09?ean=9781662500749&next=t">The Letters We Keep</a>, is studying the intersection of law, politics, and culture in romance fiction.
