    Farewell to Fondavision

    On the finale of their Fondavision miniseries, Emily and Danita try to wrap their heads around why someone as incredibly talented and charismatic as Jane Fonda would sign on to something as outrageously bad as 2014's This is Where I Leave You. After reviewing all the ways that movie could have treated Jane (and Kathryn Hahn and Rose Byrne) better, they launch into their Official Jane Rankings (hint: they have a very similar Top 6!) before offering a final word on what they learned from spending a year with the legendary actor and activist.

    Fondavision: Stanley & Iris (1990)

    On the penultimate episode of WRLH's Fondavision miniseries, Danita and Emily hit the books with 1990's Stanley & Iris, a.k.a. the movie that supposedly made Jane Fonda leave acting for 15 years. Would this box-office bomb have succeeded if it chose a lane, focusing solely on the title characters' attempt to combat adult illiteracy (with a lil' romance still thrown in, of course)? Did John Williams actually go off with that overtly wistful score? Why don't more movies put Robert De Niro in glasses? What the heck was going on with Jane's wayward claw clips? And can someone please buy us an egg roll while we wait for our laundry to dry?

    Fondavision: The Morning After (1986)

    This week on WRLH! presents Fondavision, Emily & Danita need a tequila shot before watching (and talking about!) Sidney Lumet's The Morning After (1986). Was Jane drunk on set, or is that just an IMDb rumour? How much can one woman go through while perpetually hungover? Did this '80s thriller suffer from too much romance and not enough suspense? And most importantly, where can we get matching green velour suits?

    Fondavision: The China Syndrome (1979)

    Tonight on Fondavision (WRLH!'s miniseries dedicated to actor/activist Jane Fonda!), Danita and Emily have a lil' meltdown as they investigate 1979's The China Syndrome. Did this film, produced by and starring Jane, really start the war on nuclear power (a.k.a. "The Jane Fonda Effect"), or is that just another sexist conspiracy theory? How does journalist Kimberly Wells compare to depictions of other women whistleblowers like Karen Silkwood (who Jane wanted to make a film about!) and Erin Brockovich? And what in the hell happened to the humanistic political thriller? This and more at 11!

    Fondavision: Barbarella (1968)

    This week on another instalment of WRLH's Fondavision miniseries, Emily and Danita take a trip across multiple universes as they thrust themselves into the warped world of space-set sex bomb Barbarella (1968). Is it fair to call this orgasm machine of a film "feminist" when we know how damaging it was to Jane Fonda's personal and professional trajectory? Was Jane really drunk while shooting the opening striptease? Where does one procure a pink spaceship? And is it possible to enjoy this absolute trip of a movie without getting stoned out of your mind first?

    Fondavision: California Suite & Coming Home (1978)

    This week on WRLH! presents Fondavision, Emily and Danita make it a special 2-for-1 episode with a double bill of California Suite and Coming Home. From revamping her image to making some of the most important films of her career, no one was busier than Jane in the late 1970s. So, how do these two very different roles from the same year fit into Jane's filmography? Would you rather live with Jane Fonda or Alan Alda? Is young Jon Voight hot? And while we love Hal Ashby, why was he so mad about *that* sex scene?

    Fondavision: On Golden Pond (1981)

    Danita and Emily are back from their winter break and ready to backflip into Jane Fonda's filmography! In this new episode of WRLH! miniseries Fondavision, they revisit the movie that Jane made to get her estranged father, Henry, an Oscar: 1981 sappy smash On Golden Pond. Did Jane really have beef with Katharine Hepburn on set, or is this another Debra Winger/Shirley MacLaine situation? How does Norman and Chelsea's strained relationship (which includes him ignoring her, criticizing her weight, and being unafraid to tell her he doesn't like her) compare to Jane and Henry's? And can this movie, which asks a "self-conscious" woman to forgive a grumpy old man who should know better, still stir up the same emotions today, when so many daughters of fathers have gone to therapy?
