๐ฅ The film discussion episode. A companion creative challenge inspired by this film is also available. ๐ฟ๐ This episode of Popcorn & Patriarchy explores 'PRIDE' through a feminist and intersectional lens. Hosts Esme Michaela - filmmaker and Founder of Evulve Productions - and actor, Joe Coates, examine the filmโs themes, politics, representation, and cultural impact, asking what it gets right, what it gets wrong, and why it still matters. Littered throughout.
