  2. PS: A great sex-positive and humanist discussion of Secretary, an interesting discussion about the history of Babeland, and a biting critique of 50 Shades of Grey - bravo!

  3. Good show. So tired of women being portrayed on the screen in a degrading manner. Like that's going to change in our lifetime. How about something really far out-switching the roles around. 20+ years later -and a female president on the horizon-and there's still no sign of that coming.

    The female commentator's extreme vocal fry got wearying pretty darn fast.
