Episode Details

Hey Friends!

This week we had a totally normal conversation about the movie Easy A! We discussed our feelings about the way women are punished for their sexual behavior (real or otherwise), how queer people experience bullying and the choice to perform heterosexuality to be safe (aka, how to be closeted 101), the legal and ethical issues with sleeping with a student (and also giving said student an STI), and the emotional manipulation and bullying Olive experiences, among other things.

Overall we enjoyed this movie, even if it does have some elements we don't really love. If have strong feelings about this movie or our discussion about it, or if you have suggestions on other pieces of media you think we should cover, we want to know about it! You can reach us on Bluesky or Tumblr, or by email at totallynormalaboutthat@gmail.com.

Thanks!
