This podcast is a feminist text

It has come to the point that when deciding what movies to watch, I choose one which the Bechdel Cast have already covered just so I can listen to their hot takes afterwards.

Amazing, educational and funny!!

It’s a brilliant podcast and the two of them are fabulous. Not only is intelligent, interesting and feminist, that’s only the beginning! I recommend it to everyone!

Brilliant

2 feminist icons giving you the language to describe what it was that made you uncomfortable about your fave films that you couldn’t quite put your finger on. Excellently articulate and educated, yet still chill and funny. Love love love.
