Molly Manning Walker (How To Have Sex) - Special
Molly Manning Walker's debut feature, How To Have Sex, has been gathering critical acclaim at film festivals across the globe for its honest portrayal of youth culture and nuanced exploration of consent. The filmmaker joins Popcorn Podcast to talk about how open conversations about sex and female pleasure can let the pressure out of first sexual experiences. Walker hopes her film will spark conversation – amongst teens especially – about the memories of that first exhilaration and the importance of friendships, but also of the moments too often cloaked in shame and silence. We hope you enjoy this important interview episode of Popcorn Podcast.Listen to Popcorn Podcast's interview with How To Have Sex star Mia McKenna-Bruce.Know someone who loves movies?
