    16 - How Film Rankings Work and Why You Should Ignore Them

    It's a common practice to check Rotten Tomatoes or IMDB to see if a film is worth watching. Maybe you're flipping through Amazon Prime and trying to pick a movie and you're only coming across films that have one or two stars. The thing is, movie ranking sites are not objective. They are often reviewed by straight men who tend to enjoy more masculine themes and male leading actors. We wanted to chat about how these sites work and if people should be using them. Like with all things, it's important to develop your own opinion but it's always better to do so when you have all of the information. Let us know if you use these sites and why or why not. Thanks for listening!

    9 - Body Positivity

    This week we are talking about body positivity. Encouraging acceptance of self and others, regardless of body shape and size, is what we are about. People who have a positive body image are more likely to have good physical and mental health. The effect of poor body image goes beyond occasional negative thoughts and can lead to conditions such as eating disorders and depression. Please take care of yourself. Every part of you is beautiful and you deserve to be happy. Thanks for listening!
