In this special episode, we talk about Hulu's fantastic show, Pen15 (or "penis" if you're a middle schooler), and growing up and learning about sex in the early 2000s. We get into masturbation shame, the power of a good thong, and the trauma of bad first kisses. We also wax nostalgic on 00s fashion (scrunchies! butterfly clips!), the infinite appeal of J.T.T. and Brad Renfro, and much, much more. The episodes we specifically discuss are: Ojichan, Community Service, and Wild Things.

Join us next month for our discussion on Claire Cray's slightly creepy, extremely swoony M/M romance, In Strange Woods.
