Hi Friends!

This week we had a totally normal conversation about Naomi & Ely's No Kiss List! We talked about the importance of communication and boundaries, discussed manipulation and codependency, and even hashed out the complicated overlap between platonic, romantic, and sexual feelings and relationships!

Overall this movie was super cute and we had a great time watching it! If you enjoy this movie or have strong feelings you want to share, come tell us! You can tag or message us on Bluesky or Twitter at @TotallyNormalAT, or email us at totallynormalaboutthat@gmail.com

Thanks!

Hi Friends!

This week we had a totally normal conversation about the 2010 movie Valentine's Day! We discussed the pros and cons of the style of this movie and the stellar cast and what they brought to the story (like Larry Millers' humor and Taylor Swift's acting struggles). We also talked about the queer representation in the movie and the way the time in which it was written affects how (un)seriously certain elements were treated.

If you have strong feelings about this movie, or any other thoughts and feelings you'd like to share, come tell us! We'd love to hear from you! You can find us on Bluesky or Twitter at @TotallyNormalAT or email us at totallynormalaboutthat@gmail.com.

Thanks!

Hello Friends!

This week we had a totally normal conversation about the movie Brokeback Mountain!

We discussed issues like the violence of being forcibly closeted, the systemic misogyny women faced in the 60's and 70's, and the psychology of rural American men who sleep with other men.
