Show Notes
Think young people want sex and romance in their TV shows or movies? Think again. At least that’s what a recent study from UCLA’s Center for Scholars & Storytellers found. More than half of adolescents ages 13-24 surveyed said they want to see an increase in themes about friendship and platonic relationships, while nearly 45% felt sex is an unnecessary part of TV and movie plots. Dr. Kathleen Bogle, Professor of Sociology and Criminal Justice at La Salle University, takes a closer look at UCLA’s data, and discusses whether or not it could ultimately move the needle in Hollywood.
