Customer Reviews
Perspective
I grew up watching movies that said ‘negging’ and ‘wearing her down’ was ok. Thank you for giving me the vocabulary as to why that’s just bad behavior and storytelling. I will do my best to pass that on to my sons. It’s a good podcast. Y’all should listen.
This show!
I love hearing their takes on these movies that we mostly know well and re- thinking from a mature, female perspective. Thank you for your humor and incite!
Love It, except for a few minor issues
I love this podcast. I’ve been listening since 2018 and have been a “Matreon” off and on since then. This podcast has completely changed the way I view all media. I have a much more critical eye and am looking forward to teaching my daughter about how to reflect on the media she is consuming. Caitlin and Jaime are so incredibly intelligent and think about movies and the representation of oppressed genders in ways that I was never exposed to as a young adult.
However, there are a few aspects of the show that have made me pause and sometimes decide to listen to something else. First, sometimes I feel like there is derogatory language used towards older generations, mostly by Jaime. She sometimes criticizes the “Boomer” generation and while her criticisms are often valid, I wonder if some of my views, as a 41 year old woman, would be discounted due to my age. Finally, for two women who are so brilliant, their lack of descriptors for things they don’t like can be juvenile and limited. They use the phrase “peepee poopoo” to describe all things they don’t like and it can be very irritating to me.
