Episode notes

Three powerful women, one male host, all discussing representation, sexism and Ria’s upcoming show; Femme On Film in one amazing podcast!

In more detail, Mike sits down with Ria Carrogan, Tonya Todd & his occasional co-host Megan for a discussion from “the female perspective”, it starts with Ria explaining her upcoming show and why she is starting it, how Hollywood seems to forgive white men over women & other ethnicities, how certain films challenge stereotypes, Ria brings up some statistics to do with representation of women before discussion modern feminism and media that shines a light on the aforementioned issues – all of this is in part 1! In part 2 of their chat (out next week on this feed but is available now on Patreon), their discussion on representation continues before delving back into the general structure for Femme On Film and some of the films that Ria will tackle, including Jennifer’s Body, before talking about women in horror, sex scenes, words used to describe men & women and the conversation ends with a mad discussion on orgies!

The Power by Naomi Alderman is the book Ria mentions.
