This year, Wuthering Heights brought in $240 million dollars worldwide. 2024’s It Ends with Us racked up $351 million in total. And 2015’s Fifty Shades of Grey pulled in nearly $570 million across the globe.
What do these movies have in common—besides going bananas at the box office? They all, to one degree or another, fall into the genre of “dark romance.”
But what is dark romance? What are the problems with it? And, while salacious content is nothing new, are we seeing more of the dark romance genre in today’s widely accepted popular culture?
Those are just some of the questions we hope to answer in today’s roundtable conversation. I’m joined by my colleagues Emily Tsiao and Bob Hoose, who have each reviewed their fair share of dark romance content, to discuss the topic—and how parents can protect their kids from the genre’s problematic influence.
Check out the video below! We hope you enjoy it.
