    Episode 16: NYLON's Gabrielle Korn on How Fashion Is Still Missing the Mark

    Editor-in-Chief of NYLON Gabrielle Korn joins the show this week to break down what the female gaze means when we're talking about the fashion industry, and where it's still notably missing (hint: it's not the clothes you design, it's who you're designing them for.) We ask Gabrielle about how she's changing the way women's publications talk about body, style, sex and identity - plus Elizabeth Holmes, Dating Around, Pen15, The Other Two and this week's hot take: does reverse racism/sexism exist?

We ask her how one gets such a dreamy job, how her The Future of Film is Female project truly walks the walk - plus Aunt Becky behind bars, Alanah's gender-switching photo shoot, and Caryn's hot tip for what to do when your child is obsessed with the music of a pedophile.

    Erica Rose and Chelsea Moore of Sour Peach Films join TFG this week to explain why they felt compelled to start a company that authentically tells "otherized" stories like their new film "Girl Talk" - and what films like "Blue is the Warmest Color" get completely wrong. Plus we grapple with the revelations in "Leaving Neverland," debate if "Greta" is intentionally ridiculous, and tackle the toughest of questions: would any of us date a non-creative?
