Editor – Phil Hignett Finding Emily editor Phil Hignett returns to The Rough Cut to discuss cutting a romantic comedy built around music, timing, chemistry and the difficult balance between letting a joke land and giving a relationship enough space to feel real. Working with director Alicia MacDonald, Phil helped shape a film that draws on the pleasures of the classic British rom-com while giving the genre a younger, more contemporary point of view. Directed by Alicia MacDonald and written by Rachel Hirons, Finding Emily stars Spike Fearn as Owen, a musician and sound engineer who becomes determined to find a woman named Emily after discovering that the phone number she gave him is missing a digit. His search leads him to Emily Raine, played by Angourie Rice, an American psychology student who agrees to help him while secretly using his increasingly elaborate search as material for her academic work. As Owen's quest spreads across campus and begins attracting attention, the relationship developing between the two of them becomes far more important than the person he originally set out to find. Music is central to the identity of the film, from Owen's own musical life to the Manchester setting and a soundtrack that helps establish the rhythm and emotional tone of the story. In our conversation, Phil talks about cutting comedy and romance within the same scene, shaping the chemistry between Owen and Emily, working with fast overlapping dialogue, using music as an editorial engine, and knowing when a two-shot or a held reaction can say more than another cut. The discussion also gets into some of the film's more unusual editorial challenges, including the way Owen's search spreads through social media, the large number of Emilys who become part of the story, the balance between making Owen's behavior feel romantic and allowing the audience to question it, and the film's distinctive use of music during some of its biggest emotional moments. PHIL HIGNETT Phil Hignett is an editor whose credits include Finding Emily, Sex Education, Stath Lets Flats, Wedding Season, Renegade Nell and Am I Being Unreasonable? His work spans television, features and commercial editing, with a particular emphasis on comedy, performance and the precise timing required to balance humor with character. Phil began his career in commercial editorial before moving into long-form work, eventually collaborating with filmmakers including Ben Taylor and Alicia MacDonald. His work on Sex Education was recognized with a BFE Cut Above Award for Best Edited Series: Comedy, shared with fellow editors Steve Ackroyd, David Webb and Izabella Curry.

Er Leviticus lige så god som Obsession og Backrooms?I denne episode af Betacritic har Jacob Ege Hinchely besøg af sangerinde Emillie de Forest. Sammen tager de et kig på to film: Leviticus og Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma. Første film på menuen er Leviticus, hvor Joe Bird (Talk to Me, The Mysterious Benedict Society) og Stacy Clausen (Leviticus, Crazy Fun Park) står i front. Filmen er skrevet og instrueret af Adrian Chiarella, som her får sin spillefilmsdebut som instruktør. To teenage-drenge forelsker sig i hinanden, men deres forhold bliver hurtigt til et mareridt, da en mystisk entitet begynder at tage form som den person, der har syndet mest. Både Jacob og Emillie var overraskede over den her film, men er den lige så stærk som Obsession og Backrooms? I hvert fald syntes Emillie godt, den kunne have været en smule længere. Derefter er det blevet tid til Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma, med Hannah Einbinder (Hacks, The Good Place) og Gillian Anderson (The X-Files, Sex Education) i de bærende roller. Filmen er skrevet og instrueret af Jane Schoenbrun, der tidligere har stået bag We're All Going to the World's Fair og I Saw the TV Glow. Filmen følger en ung filminstruktør, der får til opgave at genoplive den klassiske Camp Miasma-slasherfranchise. For at få projektet på benene opsøger hun stjernen fra den originale film, men mødet mellem de to kvinder udvikler sig hurtigt til noget langt mere blodigt og bizart end forventet. Jacob og Emillie synes begge, filmen kan noget, men der er også ting, som ikke helt lander for dem. Dog formår filmen at få en til at tænke over hvad kunst egentlig er, og hvad det gør ved os som mennesker.Tusind tak, fordi du lytter med!

Planned Parenthood has been under attack in Texas for years. This has resulted in a lack of access to affordable healthcare, lack of access to birth control, and worsening maternal health outcomes. Shellie Hayes-McMahon, Executive Director of Planned Parenthood Advocates of Texas, which is the 501(c)(3) arm of Planned Parenthood Texas Votes, sits down to talk with us about the perfect storm of attacks to reproductive health and rights in Texas, which provides a perfect blueprint for other states who wish to follow suit. The current push at the national level centers on defunding Planned Parenthood via Medicaid. Patients who lose their Planned Parenthood provider in Texas cannot just find a new provider. In fact, the state is currently seeing a decrease in providers generally, as well as medical students. Cancer screenings, birth control provision, critical counseling, and more, are services that are becoming increasingly more expensive for Planned Parenthood to provide, while crisis pregnancy centers (CPCs) are receiving millions of state dollars. In Texas, public school-provided sex education is abstinence-only, while misinformation around birth control is currently skyrocketing. The nationwide attacks on mifepristone, one of the safe and effective drugs used in a medication abortion, began in Texas. For more information, check out When Science Finds a Way: https://wellcome.org/insights/podcastSupport the showFollow Us on Social: Twitter: @rePROsFightBack Instagram: @reprosfbFacebook: rePROs Fight Back Bluesky: @reprosfightback.bsky.socialBuy rePROs Merch: Bonfire store Email us: jennie@reprosfightback.comRate and Review on Apple PodcastThanks for listening & keep fighting back!

What happens when porn becomes sex education by default? Cindy Gallop is the founder of MakeLoveNotPorn, a social sex video-sharing platform built on a simple idea: the problem isn't porn itself — it's what happens when a culture that can't talk openly about sex leaves porn to fill that gap by default. In this episode, Robin and Cindy explore the space between what we see on screen and what sex actually looks and feels like in real life. They talk about why there's no formula for great sex, how mainstream male-lens porn shapes expectations without us realizing it, and why communication, curiosity, and shared sexual values matter more than knowing the "right" move. The conversation also covers body image and desirability, sexual agency, and what it looks like to bring empathy, respect, generosity, and honesty into the bedroom. Cindy shares how parents can talk to kids about sex and porn without shame, how couples can finally open conversations they've avoided for years, and why becoming a great lover starts with a willingness to learn — not perform. At its core, this is a conversation about what becomes possible when we stop outsourcing our understanding of sex to porn, and start treating sex as a place to practice the same values we want in love: honesty, respect, curiosity, reciprocity, and care.

What happens when government policies shift to restrict human identity? In this powerful and deeply insightful conversation, we sit down with a 21-year veteran Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), certified sexual health educator, and academic based in the Washington, D.C. area to unpack the pressing intersections of gender, politics, and community care.Following recent executive orders attempting to legally restrict the definition of gender to a rigid binary, our guest breaks down why gender is an expansive social construct, distinct from biological sex, and how cultures worldwide have long recognized identities outside the binary.We dive deep into:The Reality of Political Control: Why censoring LGBTQ+ rights and historical truths (like the realities of slavery in K-12 education) is fundamentally about societal control.Navigating Health Care Restrictions: The real-world consequences of anti-trans legislation, from families crossing state lines for vital medical care to the systemic regulation of bodies.The Power of Sex Therapy: Moving past childhood conditioning and religious panic to empower individuals with the education, autonomy, and pleasure they deserve.A Journey of Curiosity: From growing up as a military kid asking tough questions to becoming a grief counselor, death doula, and mother paving the way for the next generation.This episode is a must-watch for anyone trying to understand the current cultural and political landscape in America and how we can protect diversity, equity, and human rights moving forward.

But when she visits the original movie's star (Gillian Anderson, The X-Files, Sex Education), a now-reclusive actress shrouded in mystery, the two women fall into a blood-soaked world of desire, fear, and delirium.   Subscribe on Apple Podcasts.

What is actually happening inside our schools? Craig Cole returns to The Breaking Free Podcast to provide another update on the issues he believes Australian parents need to be paying attention to. In this confronting conversation,  Craig and I discuss concerns surrounding gender theory, sexuality education, ideological influence, transparency, parental rights and what children are being exposed to within the education system. Craig shares updates from the past year, including concerning incidents involving children and school policies, while explaining why he believes parents cannot afford to remain passive. But this episode isn't simply about raising alarm. Craig explains what parents can actually DO  including how to request information about curriculum content from their child's school, what to do when access to information is refused, and how parents can make a formal complaint. We also explore the broader question: Who gets to decide what children are taught parents, teachers, governments or activists? If you're a parent, grandparent, educator or simply someone who cares about the future of children, this is a conversation worth hearing. ⚠️ Listen. Question. Investigate. Don't blindly accept.

Do you look back at your sex ed classes and wonder WTF?! Are you a parent looking at your kid's curriculum and asking the same question? Sex Education 101: Approachable Essays on Folklore, Culture, & History (Fox Folk Press, 2023) is less of a how-to of sex education and more of a why. Why does abstinence-only sex ed receive so much federal funding? Why do instructors show gross images of STIs to scare students? The answers, believe it or not, have a lot to do with folklore. Folklore—informally transmitted traditional culture—has a lot to say about sex. And it is often people's first point of contact with information and messages about sex. Folklore encompasses urban legends, moral panics, and rumors, which influenced early U.S. policies around sex, and also includes jokes, raunchy folk songs, and beliefs and slang about menstruation or STIs. And thus, folklore shapes sex ed classrooms and school sex ed policies. Jeana Jorgensen earned her PhD in folklore at Indiana University. She is a lecturer in anthropology at Butler University and part of the editorial team at Marvel's & Tales.

Why does abstinence-only sex ed receive so much federal funding? Why do instructors show gross images of STIs to scare students? The answers, believe it or not, have a lot to do with folklore. Folklore—informally transmitted traditional culture—has a lot to say about sex. And it is often people's first point of contact with information and messages about sex. Folklore encompasses urban legends, moral panics, and rumors, which influenced early U.S. policies around sex, and also includes jokes, raunchy folk songs, and beliefs and slang about menstruation or STIs. And thus, folklore shapes sex ed classrooms and school sex ed policies. Jeana Jorgensen earned her PhD in folklore at Indiana University. She is a lecturer in anthropology at Butler University and part of the editorial team at Marvel's & Tales. Her books include Folklore 101 (2021), Fairy Tales 101 (2022), and Sex Education 101 (2023), and her work has appeared in the Journal of American Folklore, Fabula, Journal of Folklore Research, and elsewhere.

The Trump administration has pulled millions of dollars of funding for teen pregnancy prevention programs nationwide as part of its push for abstinence-only sex ed. Many states, including California, have embraced comprehensive sex ed requiring students to learn about reproduction as well as topics such as consent and contraception. Experts have credited such programs for helping cause the teen pregnancy rate to plummet and say federal policies and loss of funding could prove harmful in the long term and may be part of a larger agenda to encourage childbirth. We'll talk about the Trump administration's policies, defunding of programs, and best practices for educating teens about a loaded topic. Learn more about your ad choices.

California lawmakers want abortion pills offered at community-college student health centers—even though the pills can already arrive by mail. John Girardi breaks down AB 2540, Claire Densmore's argument for greater “access,” the limited capabilities of campus health centers, and the lack of comparable prenatal support. He then turns to the Comstock Act, blue-state shield laws, and whether Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche will follow through on a reported promise to stop abortion pills from being shipped into states that prohibit abortion.

What happens when silence becomes the primary source of sex education?For many Black and Brown women, conversations about sex, HIV, healthy relationships, and reproductive health were never truly conversations at all. Instead, they were often replaced with silence, fear, shame, or brief warnings that focused more on avoiding consequences than understanding our bodies, protecting our health, or making informed decisions.Silence has consequences.When accurate information is absent, misinformation often fills the gap. Myths replace science. Fear replaces understanding. Shame replaces curiosity. As a result, generations of women have entered adulthood carrying unanswered questions about sexuality, consent, HIV prevention, testing, reproductive health, and emotional well-being.This isn't simply an individual issue—it's a public health issue.The Legacy of SilenceAcross many communities, discussions about sex have historically been viewed as inappropriate or taboo. Parents often believed that avoiding the conversation would protect their children. Faith communities sometimes emphasized abstinence without providing comprehensive education about healthy relationships or disease prevention. Schools varied widely in the quality of sexual health education they offered, leaving many young people without accurate or culturally relevant information.For Black and Brown women, these gaps are often compounded by systemic inequities, healthcare disparities, and historical mistrust of medical institutions.The result is not just a lack of information—it is a cycle of silence that can influence generations.HIV Is More Than a Medical DiagnosisAlthough tremendous advances have been made in HIV prevention and treatment, stigma continues to be one of the greatest barriers to education, testing, and care.Too often, HIV conversations are framed around fear rather than facts.People living with HIV continue to face judgment, isolation, and misinformation despite decades of scientific progress. These stigmas discourage individuals from seeking testing, discussing their concerns openly, or accessing life-saving healthcare.When shame becomes stronger than education, everyone loses.Why Black and Brown Women Need Culturally Responsive EducationHealth education is most effective when people can see themselves reflected in the conversation.Black and Brown women deserve educational spaces that recognize the realities of culture, family expectations, faith traditions, historical trauma, gender dynamics, and healthcare inequities. Conversations about HIV should never exist in isolation from these broader experiences.Culturally responsive education recognizes that prevention is not simply about information—it is also about trust, representation, communication, and empowerment.When communities feel seen and respected, people are more likely to engage with healthcare, ask questions, seek testing, and advocate for themselves.The Role of FaithFaith has long served as a source of resilience, hope, and healing within Black communities.At the same time, many faith communities continue to wrestle with how to discuss sexuality in ways that are compassionate, truthful, and rooted in both spiritual values and public health.Faith and education do not have to compete.Churches, ministries, and faith leaders have tremendous opportunities to become places where conversations about HIV, healthy relationships, mental health, and wellness can occur without shame or condemnation.Breaking the silence does not weaken faith—it strengthens communities.The Role of Social WorkersAs future and current helping professionals, social workers occupy a unique position in addressing HIV stigma and improving health equity.Our responsibility extends beyond providing resources.We educate.We advocate.We challenge stigma.We promote culturally responsive care.We empower individuals to make informed decisions while respecting their values, identities, and lived experiences.Whether working in schools, hospitals, community organizations, mental health settings, or public health, social workers help bridge the gap between education and access.Healing Begins with Honest ConversationsBreaking cycles of silence starts with a single conversation.Families can begin asking questions without judgment.Schools can provide accurate, inclusive education.Healthcare providers can practice culturally humble care.Faith communities can create spaces where compassion replaces shame.Communities can normalize HIV testing, encourage preventive care, and support those living with HIV with dignity rather than stigma.Education is not about encouraging risky behavior.Education equips people to make informed, healthier decisions.Reflection QuestionsTake a moment to reflect on these questions:* How was sexual health discussed in your family or community?* What messages about HIV did you receive growing up?* How has culture influenced the way you think about sexuality?* What role should faith communities, schools, families, and social workers play in breaking the silence?* What conversations are we still afraid to have?Final ThoughtsSilence has shaped generations of conversations about HIV and sexual health—but it doesn't have to shape the next generation.By replacing fear with knowledge, stigma with compassion, and silence with honest dialogue, we create healthier families, stronger communities, and more equitable health outcomes.Healing begins when we choose conversation over silence.Together, we can create communities where education is accessible, questions are welcomed, and every person has the knowledge they need to protect their health and support the health of others.About This PresentationThis article is based on “The Hidden Cost of HIV Silence for Black and Brown Women,” a TEDx-inspired educational presentation by Aiysha Ansah exploring the intersection of HIV awareness, cultural silence, faith, public health, and social work.Disclaimer: This presentation is TEDx-inspired and is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by TED or TEDx.

Sex is sometimes a taboo topic. Not today! Intimacy expert Ita O’Brien tells us all about the new normal in the bedroom, and how she’s introduced it to Hollywood.

Karen Bigman's path to becoming a menopause sex educator is one of the most unexpectedly compelling origin stories we've heard on this podcast. She started in technology. She raised children. She worked in restaurants. And then, in her early 50s, newly separated after a 25-year marriage and struggling to orgasm with a new partner, she found her way to a sexual medicine practice run by Dr. Bat Sheva Marcus, where a nurse practitioner handed her a little blue bullet vibrator, suggested she try it in the next room, and Karen came back five minutes later saying "you just changed my life". That moment is the seed of everything Karen has built since. Her platform, Taboo to Truth, is dedicated to dismantling the two most pervasive myths she encounters in her work: that sex is something people stop having at a certain age, and that it's a topic too taboo to discuss openly. Her course, Men Meet Menopause, is built on the radical premise that male partners, often the most confused and the most shut out from the conversation, deserve their own education, their own language, and their own practical tools for showing up during one of the most significant transitions their partner will experience. In this episode, Karen joins Jenni and Daniel for a conversation that covers a remarkable amount of ground with warmth, humor, and genuine clinical depth. They dig into why menopause remains under-discussed even in 2026, the lingering shadow of the Women's Health Initiative, the male reluctance to name what they're observing, the shame women carry about bodies that are changing in ways they didn't expect. Daniel introduces the compassion sandwich, leading with care rather than observation, as the reframe that changes how every difficult conversation lands. Karen talks about the five pillars underlying sexual disconnection in midlife couples, and what it looks like when one of them wobbles. Jenni brings in the Cheesecake of Pleasure- her clinical framework for expanding a couple's repertoire beyond intercourse as the only available flavor, and the conversation around grief, creativity, and what it means to look forward to something bigger than what you're losing becomes one of the richest exchanges of the season. Karen's concept of sex snacks sits beautifully alongside it. Both frameworks point to the same clinical truth: when intercourse is temporarily or permanently off the table, the answer is not resignation. It's creativity. It's building a palette of pleasure that belongs to this season rather than mourning the one that's passed. Karen closes with the line that may be the most important thing in the episode: don't give up. Don't accept the myth that this is done. Don't believe that sex is only for young people or for other people or for the version of your relationship that existed before all of this. The research shows that women over 60 can have the best sex of their lives if they want. The invitation: for women navigating menopause and for the partners who love them, is to join the journey together and find out what's on the other side.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Intimacy coordinators have irreversibly transformed how we portray sex on screen, and they are not without their detractors. In the wake of MeToo, Ita O'Brien's work as a top intimacy coordinator on Normal People, Sex Education and I May Destroy revolutionised how actors, directors and audiences think about sex, consent and physical storytelling. In this episode, journalist Olivia Petter speaks with O'Brien about how sex on screen has evolved, why these roles have become a flashpoint for wider debates about artistic freedom, and how set practices and lessons from choreography can apply to real life intimacy.  The conversation broadens beyond the screen to ask what intimacy means in contemporary life. From the rise of AI companions and virtual relationships to the importance of touch, embodiment and human connection, O'Brien argues that understanding our physical selves is more important than ever. --- Ita O'Brien is the UK's leading intimacy coordinator. She has worked on productions including Normal People, Sex Education and I May Destroy You, and is the author of Intimacy. Olivia Petter is a journalist, author and broadcaster whose work explores relationships, gender and contemporary culture.

Today we're having a fascinating conversation with the woman who pioneered the role of intimacy co-ordinator in TV, film, opera and theatre. Ita O'Brien has worked on numerous high-profile productions including Sex Education on Netflix, and I May Destroy You on the BBC, and is the founder of the Intimacy on Set guidelines which have been widely adopted across the industry, advocating for safe, fair and dignified work.Ita recently took all of her learnings and experience, and she's shared them in her brilliant book, Intimacy: A field guide to finding connection and feeling your deep desires. Today we explore the vital role that an intimacy co-ordinator plays, and why safe, honouring and real-life depictions of sex on screen are so vital. We also draw on Ita's wisdom around listening to our bodies in order to create deeper intimacy with ourselves and others, the need for all of us to understand the cyclical anatomy of female arousal and why we need more women writers creating truthful intimate scenes for women and people who menstruate.We explore:Ita's experience of being an intimacy co-ordinator on trailblazing scenes involving period sex in Michaela Coel's I May Destroy You.The importance of true consent, and how to access the power of no in intimacy, so that we can find our true yes.

This episode features Deb Rubin on creating a sex-positive home, the three things that make kids stop talking to you, and why there is no "talk", just a thousand small moments. Deb Rubin is a licensed clinical social worker, psychotherapist, and therapeutic parent coach based in Boulder, Colorado, with over twenty years of experience helping parents navigate the transition from childhood to adolescence. She's also Jenni's longtime colleague and friend, which means this conversation goes places most podcast conversations don't. The episode opens with a deceptively simple question: how do parents move past their own discomfort to become the trusted voice in their child's life around sexuality? And from there it becomes one of the most practically useful conversations about sex education and parenting that Sex and the Psyche has ever hosted. Deb introduces a framework that reframes the entire conversation: sexuality is not an emergency. It's not one talk. It's not a checklist. It's short, sweet, and consistent, a thousand small moments of curiosity and honesty that accumulate, over years, into a child who trusts you enough to tell you things you didn't even know you wanted to know. She breaks down the three parental responses that immediately shut kids down; judgment, over-empathizing, and catastrophic thinking, and explains why the parent who says almost nothing in the moment of a share almost always gets told more. She distinguishes clearly between sexuality (natural, internal, expressive) and sexualization (external, objectifying, worth-based), and explains why conflating the two is one of the most damaging things the culture does to young people. And she names something that Daniel articulates beautifully near the end of the episode: the difference between parenting from fear and parenting from responsibility. A fear requires you to go inward. A responsibility requires you to have a conversation. Knowing which one you're operating from changes everything about how you show up. This episode is for every parent who has ever frozen in the moment, said the wrong thing, or wondered whether they've already missed their window. The answer, Deb makes clear, is almost always no.

In this episode we talk about what men actually want help with in their sex lives, why performance goals like "lasting longer" rarely solve the real problem, and how intimacy, not frequency, is what most couples are actually craving. Caitlin shares how she went from academic sex research at the Kinsey Institute to coaching men about sex and relationships, why maintenance sex can quietly kill desire, and how intention, presence, and curiosity can transform a sex life. We also get into astrology and sexual chemistry, loud sex and the connection between breath and orgasm, group dynamics in intimacy, why coaching spaces for men matter, and the surprising way Caitlin realized academia wasn't where she wanted to make her impact.
