Description

On this episode Kate and Carinn discuss Deep Water, the movie adaptation of Patricia Highsmith's novel, but what you'll hear is a little different. Usually when we decide to cover content, we intentionally don't discuss it before hand so we can react to the other person's perspective in real time. There have been 2 or 3 exceptions in our 170+ episodes where one one of us kind of needs to say to the other wtf? What's going on here? This was one of them, and this time we recorded it. The first thing you will hear is our pre-call which pretty much sounds like we were watching completely different movies. There were two main takeaways from that conversation: the first was general, what do you do when you love someone but they don't love you the way you need, and the second was specific, why are these two people together? The second part of this episode is recorded another day and focuses on those two questions. We start with the wtf pre-episode conversation, but if you want to skip to the main episode, it starts at 31:50. See 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.”
