We talk about women in STEM in movies and on TV. Is the Geena Davis Institute’s slogan of “if she can see it, she can be it” borne out by their latest report? We also catch up on what our kids are watching and what’s on our grown-up screen time watch lists.

Past episodes we mention:
American Girl: Corinne Tan ReviewLyla in the Loop Review Spooky Buddies Review, which is where we talked about the Geena Davis Institute for the first time Wonka Review Portray Her 2.0: An Analysis of 15 Years of Women in STEM On-Screen, 2007–2022 
The Town episode: The Harsh Data Behind ‘Barbie’ and Taylor Swift’s Success 
You might get the idea that we’re not impressed by the Geena Davis Institute’s work from listening to this episode. That is not the case! We generally support their mission and invite you to check out the other good work they’re doing here: https://seejane.org/
