Description

Kate and Carinn discuss I May Destroy You Episode 3, the brain child of Libra creator, Michaela Coel. **Spoilers***** In a flashback to three months ago, Arabella and Terry are in Italy having fun and showcasing the complexity of their friendship. Kate senses some jealousy from Terry, but Carinn thinks she's just frustrated she hasn't gotten hers yet. Bella tells Terry to “control what you can, no more, no less,” we swear this quote has to make in on our “list”! (01:20)*** Carinn & Kate love the scene where Arabella and Terry get high, which then turns into a personal and hilarious chat about our own views on pot vs. drinking!  (06:09)*** The brilliance of this show is portraying, in a casually accurate way, things that happen in everyday life but we never see on TV. Bella and Terry getting ready to hit the club is a perfect example of that. (10:50)*** Bella and Terry partying showcases the differences between them and apparently the differences between Carinn and Kate too! Hamilton (the musical) gets a shout out...say whaaaat? (12:40)*** Biago really surprises us in this episode -- a gentleman and a drug dealer -- who shares a sex scene with Bella that far surpasses the “I can’t believe I am watching this on television” bar previously set by this show. Still pulling our jaws off the floor at the brilliance of Michaela Coel! (20:25)*** Meanwhile Terry is having an equally confusing, yet unexpectedly cringey, sexual encounter in the next room with two Italian men. Terry's threesome highlights the nuanced layers of consent in modern-day dating. As usual, it’s complicated and has us struggling in the shades of gray. (28:24)*** Biagio and Arabella share a moment at the beach. He gets vulnerable and tells her to quit the drugs. Will his words come back to haunt her? Kate & Carinn debate how this conversation will play out in the future of their relationship. (37:30)Follow us on Instagram and Facebook @popfictionwomen and on Twitter @pop_women.

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.”
