6. Maxine (maxinemaxinenyc)

This week’s guest is one of our absolute favorite follows on Threads for her Heated Rivalry analyses and essays. We spoke with Maxine about why the romance genre isn’t always taken seriously, the role of music in the show, and how adaptations can elevate source material.

Highlights of the week include: Heated Rivalry podcasts, finishing the Game Changers series, BAMF Shane, and moooore micro moments.
