Can Wonder Woman Be a Feminist if She Was Born Sexy Yesterday?

Woman Inherits the Earth: Wonder Woman

In this, the Wonder Woman episode of the pod, Beth and Tess discuss the difference between Marvel and DC, Zack Snyder and some of his attendant controversies, the Christian-ization of Greek myth, and the flaws of the first truly successful woman-led superhero movie. Why do so many woman-led movies have so few other women in them?

Content warning: coarse language, minor discussion of violence. This one is actually pretty light, folks!

Woman Inherits the Earth: Women Talking Part Two

Woman Inherits the Earth: Women Talking Part Two

In this, the fourth episode of the updated pod, Beth and Tess will conclude their discussion of “Women Talking,” an Oscar-nominated film that (spoilers) neither of them liked very much.  When they left off, they were discussing the literacy of the characters in the film and how that affects their agency, and whether a gender imbalanced society could ever be free of sexual assault. This week they’ll be talking about the few humorous moments in the film before heading into conclusions and, of course, their hot takes.

Content Warning: this episode contains in-depth discussions of sexual assault and suicide. If you are sensitive to either topic or any related topic, you might want to avoid this one.
