To kick off their second season, Nat and Kevin introduce the Caught in a Bad Romance theme and discuss the various tropes that are often observed in stories where people are abducted as an act of desire. Depending on the media, these narratives can either reinforce typical gender norms or add homoerotic or other kinds of contexts between captives and captors.
