My name is Brandon Kyle Goodman. I'm a black, gay, non-binary author, TV writer, actor, and

I'm messy, but not in the way you think. Messy as in I'm human and flaw. I'm on a mission

to destroy shame around sex. And the only way to do that is to talk about sex. So that's what

we'll do on my brand new podcast, Tell Me Something Messy.

Join me on Tell Me Something Messy with brand new episodes every Thursday on the Iheart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts.

On the Bechdocast, the questions asked if movies have women in them Are all their discussions just boyfriends and husbands, or do they have individualism?

pick him up he's just trying to text his friends to come pick him up.

He's just trying to text his mom. He literally is just like, I need to text my mommy.

And it was the 80s. You couldn't just text your mommy back then. It was a whole thing.

You had to build a whole machine and set it up in the woods.

Today, E.T. would have just texted his mommy and it would

have been fine. Welcome to the Bechtel cast. My name is Jamie Loftus. Okay. Okay. My name is
