Description

*NO SPOILERS*Welcome to a new kind of episode on Pop Fiction Women where we take you behind the scenes on our thought process for picking content and where we try to convince each other (and our listeners) to watch a show we love. ** Wandavision. Carinn explains why even if you have never watched a superhero franchise movie, you’re going to want to watch Wandavision anyway, which blends the classic family sitcom with the classic comic book drama. ** Complicated Woman: Wanda. Carinn argues that the reason to watch Wandavision is for the revolutionary, complex portrayal of Wanda, played brilliantly by Elizabeth Olsen. She does everything in true superhero fashion even though it is common or mundane -- like being a wife and mother -- but in the end it’s like nothing you’ve ever seen before in a superhero character. ** Scenes and Themes. Wandavision is a show about grief, loss, pain, domestic life, love, motherhood, life in the suburbs, the fuzzy line between good and evil, and sibling issues. Carinn highlights the penultimate episode as a standout, as well as the finale. Elisabeth Olsen and Kathyrn Hahn are persuasive reasons to tune in too! ** What She Said: Jac Schaeffer. By the end of this “what she said” segment, Jac Schaeffer is now our “superhero” -- we were beyond impressed with her ambition, her career trajectory and how she found her voice.

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.”
