Description

Quick Cap #3: Coming in HOTIn this episode we shake it up a bit...we talk about anger and rage and snubs and poor choices then we bring it back to love and marriage and relationships. Come along for the ride.Female rage was a big part of the last decade of literature and fiction. Can it be useful, bring clarity and then harnessed for change? Hell yes. (Starts at :54)Movies that make us rage: Like a Boss and Bombshell. Both movies have massive female talent and star power involved, but both are written and directed by men. How does this still happen? Where are the womens’ perspectives? (8:58)Golden Globe nominations snub female directors, yet again. Only 5 women have been nominated for best director in the 77-year history of the Golden Globes. The Oscars are no better. Why is this? What can be done to flip the script? (18:20)Ironically, the series finale of The Affair sparks so many thoughts about love and marriage (no spoilers). (25:54)At Whitney's wedding, Noah tells his son that a woman being "a lot" means she's passionate and interesting, the kind of woman you can spend a lifetime with. (27:45)Helen and Whitney argue whether marriage should be the great adventure of one's life, then Carinn and Kate pick up the debate themselves. (31:30) Stay Complicated!Links:https://www.nytimes.com/2019/11/24/books/women-writers-rage.html?fbclid=IwAR0jXdebDk87LQWQMAaFAgbPNowjNjC7Jzo9Mzh7OatMXD3sB1lm7x9RbjYhttps://www.wmagazine.com/story/nicole-kidman-margot-robbie-charlize-theron-bombshell-interviewSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In Pop Fiction Women we deep-dive into the complicated women of books, movies and TV shows, along with the women that bring them to life behind the scenes. Think Fleabag and Phoebe Waller Bridge, Normal People and Sally Rooney, and so much more. In each episode you can expect us to: * Break down the protagonist as we ask what makes her complicated? * Identify the best scenes, which can mean sweetest, funniest, or most badass. Anything we love. * Recount the cringiest scenes. The ones that make you squirm. Sometimes it’s self-sabotage, sometimes it’s growth, but it’s always part of the process of becoming our complicated selves. * Play arm-chair therapist in What’s Your Damage, Heather? An homage to the iconic line in Winona Rider’s Heathers, we discuss how these characters got to be the way they are. * “What She Said” - the segment where we scour every essay and interview with the women behind the scenes and share some of our favorite first person quotes. Real life is as interesting as fiction here. * Look into our crystal ball and ponder where these characters are six months later and five years later. Typically, Kate gets very real and Carinn gets buck wild. * Provide a takeaway, aka that part in the podcast where we try to sound deep. We leave you with some parting wisdom, challenge each other with thought-provoking questions inspired by the work, and urge you to “stay complicated.”
