We start Sarah's second cycle talking about the HBO Max series Veneno - as a palette cleanser to the transphobia of the prior episode. We discuss Cristina Ortiz Rodriguez aka "La Veneno" 's impact, why this series is so important and why even though it's primarily a trans focused show, there's still a lot of incredible messages about women's stereotypical roles and how some of the cis characters defy them!

TW/CW: Transphobia Today we wrap up Kelsi's cycle dissecting Ace Ventura: Pet Detective - and its portrayal of its female characters. It's not good, and we definitely examine the way this '90s classic affected the LGBTQ community with its twist, why it's not a good effect and why Kelsi chose to close her cycle out with this one.

Sarah, Kelsi and Jinger go into Kelsi's potpurri pick which examines the infamous Hardee's ads from the early 2000s - using sex to sell...well...meat. We talk a lot about who these commercials were marketed to - the impracticalities of some of the outfit choices, how the company over-corrected in response to backlash from the commercials and much more!

We begin Kelsi's cycle - and as predicted for the women's and gender studies major, we're taking on a LOT with the season 7 episode "The One With Chandler's Dad" . We look at trans issues in the late 90s/early 2000s, toxic masculinity, female stereotypes and more. This one's a LOT but in a great way - and we didn't even GET to talk about a cis woman playing a trans woman, a rarity in Hollywood! FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA!

Are you there Cher? It's us: Sarah, Kelsi and Jinger. We're talking about Judy Blume's seminal classic coming-of-age- story Are You There God, It's Me Margaret. We talk the lasting legacy of this, what it's like to grow up NOT reading this book, the truly controversial stuff about this book (spoiler: it's NOT the menstruation stuff!), and the stigma of women's health that needs to end. We also discuss the portrayal of black women in media and why society needs to do better. Give us a listen and a like please!

Sarah, Kelsi and Jinger take on the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "Angel One" from the show's first season, focused on a matriarchal society. We look at the parallels and message the episode was trying to convey, the fact the B-plot with Dr. Crusher is a LIL too timely and why a certain counselor's accent is a little suspect for the first season. All this and more as we try and dissect an episode while still maintaining our social distance. Follow us on social media!

Our third episode looks at Cordelia Chase, the most popular girl at Sunnydale High School in the world of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. In particular, we examine what's beneath that popularity in the season one episode "Out of Sight, Out of Mind" that gives us our first glimpse beyond the world of May Queen candidate and frenemy of the Slayer, Cordelia. We also get severely off topic thanks to some wine and not having seen each other in almost a month! Enjoy!

Join us for a look at women* in the media as Sarah, Jinger and Kelsi kick the podcast off examining the three women (the ONLY three women, really) of the Lord of the Rings trilogy. We go all in on dissecting and examining everything about the Elf warrior Arwen, Royal Elf Galadriel and defier of gender expectations, Eowyn! We talk how these three are seen in the film, how they are on film and how it informs their character. We also look if they pass the Test (the Bechdel test, that is!) as well as the legacy of these performances for the actresses and their characters, and who they may have inspired in doing so (psst: here's a hint - a girl has no name).
