“Hey hey hi hello hey! For starters, I love everything Jamie Loftis does! (Not gonna lie.) I relate to her in many ways and it’s cathartic hearing her opinions on certain things because it’s fairly often they align with my own. Plus, her sense of humor seems very similar to mine, which can be somewhat hard to come across in other forms of traditional media. (Unless it’s an animated series, fantastical film, or something else that isn’t seen as “adult” oriented.)
Jamie is out there, witty, and not afraid to just be a little silly. That said, this podcast is really fun, informative, and is a feel good kind of listen.
What’s more, this podcast introduced me to Caitlin Durante, too. They remind me of some of my more grounded friends that have a tendency to keep things on track. Caitlin and Jamie’s chemistry and energy is infectious! They have such an amazing dynamic that creates a super cohesive flow.
Sometimes (not all the time, but SOMETIMES) the guests can feel like third wheels, especially when their commentary is minimal or their audio quality is incredibly disconnected from the rest of the show. It definitely gives that “this person is calling in” sort of vibe.
As far as the content and structure of the show goes, I really enjoy the formula and how they break down movies piece by piece in order to explore intersectionality and other feminist dynamics that aren’t usually explored at large.
I will agree with other reviewers that, despite the focus on intersectionality, there can often be some missteps and performative moments. Typically, there will be a black guest if the movie in question discusses black issues, however, it’s not as common for a POC to just be… a natural recurring guest.
Though, all in all, if you want a different perspective that challenges the status quo and might be a bit different from what you’re used to seeing or hearing day in and day out, give this one a listen.”

“I love that there is serious discussions regarding the importance (and lack there of) that women play in our entertainment industry. Yet, even with most of the movies being very problematic, the podcasters really love movies.”

“This is a much needed show and I mostly enjoy it. A podcast about the portrayal of women in movies is a must-listen for everyone. However, the high school banter and excessive giggling makes it nearly insufferable. I wish the hosts were a little less silly.”

“In the episode I listened to one of the hosts just repeatedly (3 times at least) and forcefully expressed how much they hated one particular voice actor. Ok. Not much to do with the bechdel test? Then they go on to state how the main character ends up in a relationship with a guy when... she...”Read full review »
