The Ugly Truths of 1981’s Clash of the Titans

Real Talk, Whole Life ·

2026/01/09

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

Real Talk, Whole Life ·

Love is Blind or Blinded By Love?

Real Talk, Whole Life ·
