In this Season 2 finale, the femcels arm themselves with riding crops and cable ties for a kinky double feature of Secretary (2002) and Fifty Shades of Grey (2015). Through their analysis of two unorthodox literary adaptations, they discuss how sexual fantasies translate on screen, negotiating boundaries and containers for consent, pathologizing kink, and the presence of erotica in their own lives. Digressions may include E.L. James’ first pen name, moodboards full of galaxy print and infinity scarves, admiration for ao3, and the astonishing parallels between vampirism and being a daddy-dom.
