Love SFL :)

I love how I can listen to this podcast and get inspired or re-inspired to watch something, or the more rare occasion when Tricia and Tessa do the watching for me so I don’t have to, and now by listening I can still participate in pop culture discussions! Like, I know I *should* watch Yellowjackets, but I feel like I can’t yet, so SFL is my surrogate. Lol thanks T & T!

Insightful and funny!

I love this podcast! Tessa and Tricia do a great job analyzing themes of femininity and masculinity across a broad range of movies and tv show. I’m always laughing out loud when I’m listening! Plus, I feel like I learn something new every episode. The perfect podcast for movie buffs!

Great Podcast

I love SFL! They have a great dynamic and can switch between banter and joking around to serious topics very easily. I may be biased because my podcast just collaborated with SFL but you need to check them out!!
