“I started listening to the podcast after Tina Mabry was on & discussed ‘Set It Off’. I loooooove that movie & Tina & really enjoyed the ep & have been listening ever since. I’m a Black woman writer/director & wish more Black Women creators were on the podcast so I was excited when I saw 28 Days Later was going to be discussed. You guys talked about feminism & how “woke” the film was but I was really bummed that more wasn’t made of Selena (Naomi Watts) a woman, not only being the “leader” but also the fact that Selena was black. A black woman was the leader in a horror film at a time when Black Women were NEVER leads in movies like this, or at all. That was a HUGE deal for me watching that film, espc as a horror/sci-fi lover. Before Michonne or Kelita Smith on ZNation, Selana was everything. I love the podcast & really hope you have more Black Women on (Tina’s been the only one I believe). Love the female empowerment, but please do not be afraid to discuss race as, I’d assume, you have Women of Color and Black Women like me listening. Intersectionality is important.”
