Dune: Part Two is a marvel of cinematic wonder. Amongst all the
chatter around the cinematography and lore, Brittany also noticed
that there was a particular fascination with Austin Butler's
accent. Butler is no stranger to a distinctive voice - he was Elvis
after all. But the discourse around what makes a good or bad accent
made Brittany want to revisit a conversation with New York Times
reporter Kyle Buchanan. In this interview from last year, Kyle
makes the case that bad accents make movies more fun.

Then, Brittany turns from bad accents to bad sex. What may feel
like a personal problem is actually an indicator of bigger social
issues, at least according to Nona Willis Aronowitz. Her book, Bad
Sex: Truth, Pleasure, and an Unfinished Revolution, tackles the
historic and systemic causes of unsatisfying sex. Brittany and Nona
spoke last year about where bad sex comes from and what could be
done about it.
