Searching for Sexual Authenticity with Caitlin Stasey & Richa Moorjani

On the finale episode of CherryPop S2, Meg is joined by the very talented and insightful actress and filmmaker Caitlin Stasey. You know Caitlin from such shows as Reign (CW) and Bridge and Tunnel (Epix). Meg and Caitlin discuss nudity and simulated sex on screen, along with the double standard that pits women in mainstream film and adult entertainment against one another. 

"I think film and TV show us these explosive sexual relationships which are quite hard to maintain or even achieve a lot of the time. You have to remember, when you're watching sex scenes, you're watching the most beautiful version of sex ever [...] the absolute distillation of, like, the sexiest parts of sex.” - Caitlin Stasey

Next up, Caitlin and Meg chat with Richa Moorjani, the brilliant star of Never Have I Ever (Netflix), about the representation of Desi women on screen, the importance of the female lens, and her character Kamala’s brave choice to put herself first. Watch Richa return as “Kamala” on Season 2 of Never Have I Ever, streaming now on Netflix!    “It’s important, especially when showing female sexuality, to be told through a female lens, because that's what gives it authenticity and the sensibility that it needs.” - Richa Moorjani
