The Iron List #16 | The Best Movies About Sex

Every month on THE IRON LIST, the Patrons of the Critically Acclaimed Network get to pick a topic for a giant-sized episode!

This month it's THE BEST MOVIES ABOUT SEX! That doesn't necessarily mean the most erotic motion pictures, or the most graphic. It means the films that are about the topic of sexuality and have something interesting and engaging to say about them. Some of them are fun, some are harrowing, but they all attempt to speak meaningfully about sex!

Canceled Too Soon #205 | Brave New World (2020)

Alden Ehrenreich from SOLO: A STAR WARS STORY, Hannah John Kamen from Marvel's ANT-MAN AND THE WASP, and even Demi Moore unite for a big budget TV version of Aldous Huxley's dystopian classic BRAVE NEW WORLD, exclusively on Peacock!

It had the intrigue, it had the strange setting, it had lots and lots and LOTS of sex, so why was Peacock's attempt at a GAME OF THRONES canceled after one season? And was it... CANCELED TOO SOON?

William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold are about to find out!
