MiTV: Menstruation in TV (Periods + Pop Culture, part 2)

In this episode of Flow, hosts Jessica Richmond and sex therapist Sarah Watson are joined by guests Jade and Leslie (Bloodstream Media / Believe Limited teammates)  to play a game called 'MiTV, Menstruation in Television'! They review and rate the accuracy of menstruation portrayals in various TV shows and films, including 'Euphoria', 'Orange is the New Black', 'Game of Thrones', 'Grease', 'Big Mouth', and 'The Handmaid's Tale'. The discussion highlights the importance of normalizing menstruation - complete with humorous and heartfelt commentary. Key takeaways? Pop culture is getting better at representing the monthly cycle as it continues to show women supporting each other during menstruation.   Program Notes:   Episode Links: Euphoria: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kRcvQN1lYzw Big Mouth: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NEbQ7CQPfNI Orange is New Black: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Quh92wZ7gUw Game of Thrones: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f1hF0CbzGDY Grease: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OHmHesDYPzw   How’s Your Flow?
