Content Warning: Discussions of mental health struggles & chronic illness This week we look at the context surrounding yet another female singer's documentary, this time it's child star turned philanthropic mental health advocate Selena Gomez, My Mind & Me. We discuss the ethics of exposing this amount of private pain in this narrative form and explore in depth the ins and outs of the controversy surrounding her friend's kidney donation. Pop culture moments of the week include Chris Evan's girlfriend reveal, Em Rata & Julia Fox on a podcast episode & Jason Mamoa has a pet pig?
