Heath Ledger_Diablo CodySomething strange happens when a talented actor’s life is cut short. There’s an oddly collective pang of grief and a permanent shift in how their work is viewed.

Karina investigates the meaning of “sex comedy” and how the obsolete censorship of the Hays Code influences Juno.

    Why is Karina using the tone of voice of a 12am-3am radio
    sex therapist/DJ in this piece?

    I loved karina’s piece this episode, anyone who talks about Lubitsch and Bertolucci in the same segment is top of the charts in my book.
    I agree completely about what you said karina but if i say women yell at me. A friend of mine said Waitress ended the way it did because if the chose to tell the story with realism then people would be depressed about what happens to single mom’s.
