Description

Sex and the movies. It's a perfect combination, except when it isn't. #MeToo has prompted a realisation that onscreen depictions of sex need rethinking - especially when it comes to women. There's a wider understanding of the Male Gaze now, so how is it impacting the way we perceive and discuss female sex and nudity? And can we be more more careful about sex onscreen without losing the intended sexiness? As former sex columnist "Dear Karen" from the 90s, film critic and film production researcher Karen Krizanovich was my first port of call for an overview of onscreen sex and how we critics do - and don't - talk about it.

If you ever watch films or read film reviews this podcast is for you. Because what you get to see onscreen is directly impacted by what critics value and promote. Film critic Wendy Lloyd investigates how we talk about movies, who gets to do it and why it matters with fellow critics and social commentators. #MeToo, BLM and Times Up mean we're finally seeing improved diversity in film - from the stories being told to onscreen representation. But significant power imbalances remain - as highlighted each year during Awards season. So how might film criticism understand its own role in these inequalities and better serve ALL film fans? Because whilst historically marginalised voices are now coming through in criticism, significant inequalities remain - including who gets the top critic jobs and which stories - and therefore films - are valued most. Join me in this series of thought provoking and lively conversations, that builds on research on inequalities in criticism I carried out for my Masters degree. Hosted on Acast.
