01:30 For Better and Consent

We’re so happy to share this episode with everyone which finally reflects the quality we've been working so hard to achieve! In this episode, we discuss expectations vs. reality of the 1950s dating and marriage culture, as well as divorce in Peru, the danger of incels, and the story of Betty Broderick, as told in the series. We finish by bringing these topics together thanks to the Chinese philosophy of yinyang and Romina shares her Spanish thought of the day!

We also call out the danger of performative diversity and quotas and finish the episode reflecting on the good and the bad of highly intersectional characters in television shows as we ask ourselves: "Is there such a thing as “too intersectional” or does it simply reflect real human experiences and lives?" 

Don’t miss your chance of hearing us say “showcase” way too many times!
