Periods + Pop Culture
FLOW’s Jessica and Sarah review a variety of extreme period representations in pop culture - namely, television and film of the past quarter century.
How have period representations changed since the horror film CARRIE? Why does Pixar’s new movie TURNING RED cause upset in some mommy-circles? And how has premenstrual pain management been normalized in more recent television?
FLOW continues its mission to normalize conversation around menstruation - with straight talk about extreme periods; monthly episodes the second Thursday of each month!
