Witty and beautiful Crysta & Helen explore the ridiculous and white-centric world created by the movie "Snatched" (2017). White feminism has no place in this house. Then, Helen brings the premise of this whole thing crashing down, and then we all stroke our egos a little bit.

Crysta & Helen differentiate between sexual agents and sexual objects while spotlighting the Netflix series "Chewing Gum." We also talk about raced and classed sexual standards and expectations, and also joke around as is the norm. We're funny. Come hang out.

In this week's episode, Crysta & Helen discuss trauma and lady serial killers. Also, Oprah. And cyanide-laced cognac. And how much we're not looking forward to that new Amy Schumer movie.

After a brief and unexplained hiatus (that will remain unexplained, we're mysterious and unpredictable fyi), Crysta Helen are back and better than ever! This week, we discuss Grey Gardens, the unsettling 1975 documentary about raccoons, America, and faded glamor. We also discuss anxiety and shoutouts. Also, about the audio quality--it's a process. Nobody's perfect. Email us about it. hello@mentaldam.com

Do you ever have sex? Do you ever intend to? Then you're IN LUCK because on this week's episode, Crysta Helen and special guest Hilary Wermers ("expert of sexuality" apparently) discuss Girl Sex 101 by Allison Moon and KD Diamond. We talk about consent, pleasure, relationships, and the road trip of queerness. We also joke around a lot. It was a fun day we're delighted to share it with you. P.S. BUY THIS BOOK I'm not kidding. #plug

Helen discusses her dietary restrictions and shouts out Viola Davis all alone. Then, thank GOD, Crysta Helen discuss Flash Forward's episode on the future of hormonal birth control, both scientifically and societally. Spoiler alert: abortion is still gonna be important.

Crysta is on vacation! So Amanda came to visit during shoutouts to discuss transplants and Twilight. Then in a special prerecorded audio media event, Crysta Helen discuss Edge of Seventeen (2016), how trauma creates dramatic characters for Hollywood, and the million-and-a-half teen movie tropes that exist.

Happy Anna Howard Shaw Day to us all! Crysta Helen watch Bridesmaids (2011) and talk about marriage, female friendship, and how Jon Hamm always plays really shitty characters. Fun fact: Helen was a bridesmaid in Crysta's wedding, so this movie really connected to our experience. Fun fact #2: That was a lie, the movie was nothing like Crysta's wedding.
