This week we're taking a look at Netflix's The Half Of It, this is Alice Wu's second movie. We did her first one, Saving Face two years ago on the podcast here.

But, is the movie feminism and inclusive? We here at The Feminist Critique believe BLACK LIVES MATTER.

It wouldn't be a Mel Brooks month without his first film about two men involved in an insurance scam by creating the worst Broadway production ever made... except that it doesn't go as planned and they have a smash hit on their hands. Mel Brooks also won an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay and the film was later made into a Hit musical and then the musical was made into a film... but how does the original shape up? Aislene and Gracie will tell you on this week's episode of THE FEMINIST CRITIQUE! Also, we are on Twitter. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/the-feminist-critique/support

This week, Aislene and Gracie are taking on the most famous (or infamous) of Mel Brooks movies... you know, the one that edge lords like to say that you couldn't make today. Is the movie incredibly racist or is it about the ridiculousness of racism? Is it Feminist? Is it Inclusive? We find that out with a deep discussion.

In our first Mel Brooks movie we take a look at Young Frankenstein. (That's Fronkensteen!) Equal parts satire and love letter to the classic monster movies of the 1950s, does this classic comedy hold up? --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/the-feminist-critique/support

Our final epic movie of the month is Pearl Harbor, isn't really an epic movie at all. It's the try-hard movie. This Michael Bay/Jerry Bruckhemier number was desperate to be the new Titanic but did it work? --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/the-feminist-critique/support

This week's epic film is, until recently, the highest grossing film of all time. Surely that qualifies it as an epic movie right? The better question is, despite the box office success, does the film stand the test of time? Was it ever any good? --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/the-feminist-critique/support

This week, we're taking a look at Green Mile. One of the greatest book to film adaptions, it tells the story of a guard on death row, befriending an inmate with supernatural powers.

Yes, we're doing a sequel again, without watching the original first. But who cares, it's College month and this movie is about college. Kind of. Two undercover cops have to navigate their partnership while trying to bust a drug crime ring before it goes viral. Did they succeed in making us laugh or making us cringe?

Welcome to Wellsley.

This blonde got in to Harvard. What? Like it's hard? This week we're taking a look at the early 2000s smash hit, Legally Blonde! A movie that aims to prove that you can do anything if you set your mind to it (but it really really helps to be white and affluent first).

Continuing Black Female Director's month, we take a look at Kasi Lemmon's Eve's Bayou. Honestly one of the best films we have watched in a long time on the podcast and we'll say it.
