Orange is the New Black is a really great show that we immediately start criticizing the worst parts. And then we criticize ourselves for being harder on women-made media. And then we criticize Francis Ha. We also talk about how sexy Laura Prepon's Alex is, and how we forget every other character's name. Lots and lots of discussion on queerness. Our Living As A Feminist Question Of The Week is "Does being in a hetero relationship mean you are hetero?" As always, we provide interesting wishy-washy answers. -
This episode is dedicated to fan art, fan fiction, and fan culture! Is it feminist? Is it capitalist? Is it (metaphorically) colonialist? We have the answers (no we don't). We have a very special guest, Mel, offering us her mind-blowing insights into all things "fan" and uses the word "possibilities" a lot. Our Living As A Feminist Question Of The Week is "How should feminists respond to name-calling?" We drop the C-word a lot (not c-word as in cancer and not as in the show). We talk about Gilmore Girls (spoiler: Rory and Jess kiss), Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, J.K. Rowling, George R.R. Martin, Twilight, 50 Shades of Grey, and Ms. Frizzle and Mary Poppins' first date. -

There are NO SPOILERS for the BOOKS, but it is ridden with spoilers from all three seasons.

Catching up on the feminist issues in the three videogames we've been playing over the winter -Mass Effect, Red Dead Redemption and Guild Wars 2 are all deeply interrogated in terms of gender kind of not really.

What happened with the second season of Homeland? Does it still have interesting gender politics? Are you responsible for the success of feminism? Do you hate Kathryn Bigelow? Do you hate Ys in names that shouldn't have Ys? -
Overfeministing the winter's biggest movies (at least those we have seen). The Hobbit, Django Unchained, Silver Linings Playbook and a little bit of Life of Pi (by accident). We also tell you if you can go to the movies with a nonfeminist (follow your heart) -
