Customer Reviews
Gregnant EDITED
I didn’t think it was possible to like the Alien movies any more than I already did. And then I listened to this podcast! If you love a movie or hate a movie, listen to an episode about it. It’s so fun. I laugh until I cry mostly every time. Mostly.
ALSO (this is the edit)
SO many tropes exposed by this podcast! FINALLY I can explain why some movies rub me the wrong way. Before I was like “idk, I just didn’t like it.” Now I’m like “THIS. This is what hit me wrong.” Particularly the damsel and black best friend tropes.
Thank you for giving me tools to talk about these things in an intelligent way.
Great show, strange ad content
Jamie and Caitlin, your show is one of my favorite podcasts. I love your conversations and guests. If you read reviews, I want to flag that I Heart is serving more right-wing ads. It’s really strange. Employees Only seems particularly against your values. It’s jarring.
Keep being awesome!
Great show- keep talking ladies!
I love this show! Great guests every week. I love how the conversation is smart and the topic taken seriously yet the hosts don’t take themselves too seriously. It’s the perfect balance! I get my smart feminist critique served up with some comforting movie talk.
