To kick off the new year, besties Stacy and Daynah revisit Clash of the Titans — not as nostalgia, but as a cultural artifact. From Medusa’s distorted origin story to the unchecked entitlement of male heroes, we unpack how victim-blaming, punishment, and “boys will be boys” logic are baked into Greek mythology.

What starts as a fun rewatch quickly becomes a reckoning with who gets punished, who gets excused, and why these stories still shape how we understand power today. If you’ve ever loved a movie and later realized it aged… poorly, this one’s for you.
