Sexy Sexy Sex Sex

For our final show of #MaxFunDrive 2016 we decided to pander and devote an entire show to sex. So we're asking what pop culture turns us on? What films, TV, books or music first made us burn with desire? And what are our favorite sex scenes? With Guy Branum, Wynter Mitchell, Oliver Wang and Margaret Wappler. That’s My Jam: Wynter Mitchell - Know Me From by Stormzy Oliver Wang - I Want A Little Sugar In My Bowl by Nina Simone Margaret Wappler - Brazil by Declan McKenna Guy Branum - Here You Come Again by Dolly Parton Each week we’ll add everyone’s jams to this handy Spotify playlist. You can let us know what you think of Pop Rocket and suggest topics in our Facebook group or via @PopRocket on Twitter. Produced by Colin Anderson & Christian Dueñas for MaximumFun.org.

Ginny & Georgia Creator Sarah Lampert on Getting Mental Health Right On Screen

Hollywood doesn’t exactly have a stellar track record when it comes to portraying mental illness in a sensitive, honest, and appropriately complex way (think Psycho or the notorious caffeine pill episode of Saved by the Bell). But the top show on Netflix right now, Ginny & Georgia went to great lengths to show mental health conditions honestly. The series tells the story of Georgia, a mother with a traumatic background, Ginny, her daughter with a habit of self-harming, and it includes characters such as a neighbor boy and Ginny’s love interest, Marcus, with a persistent major depressive disorder. Show creator Sarah Lampert talks with us about how, with the help of a doctor of psychology and consulting from the advocacy group Mental Health America, she and her creative staff were able to tell honest stories that were moving without being exploitive or sensationalized. Thank you to all our listeners who support the show as monthly members of Maximum Fun. Check out our I’m Glad You’re Here and Depresh Mode merchandise at the brand new merch website MaxFunStore.com!
