So Strickland recorded a solo ep with Doug vacationing in New Jersey. And he talked for 50 minutes? Without ranting on Trump ONCE?? Wow, that's impressive. I shouldn't say that, since I didn't listen to the whole thing. I mean, if he talks about interesting shit for 50 minutes all by himself, I guess that's impressive, but am I expected to listen to ALL THAT?? Hell no. I could let A.I. do a summary for me that would be far more interesting then this, but that would actually be work. Wait a minute, maybe THIS is being written by A.I. Maybe Mr. or Mrs. Show Note Writer has already been replaced by an algorithm! Could the stupidity of the Nice Guys and Mr./Mrs. Show Note Writer be confidently consumed by a bot? Maybe, but it would probably go crazy after. Does anyone know how to administer a Bechdel test?Do you want some cool merch?

In this NBN episode, host Hollay Ghadery speaks with Kay Sohini about her graphic memoir, This Beautiful, Ridiculous City: A Graphic Memoir (published by Ten Speed Graphic, 2025). A vibrant graphic memoir of a woman—an immigrant, a survivor, a writer, a foodie, and, ultimately, an optimist—who rebuilds her life in New York City while recovering from the trauma of an abusive relationship. “An intimate portrait of the city not only as a place of dreams, but as a vital source for healing and self-discovery.”—Nick Sousanis, Eisner Award–winning author of Unflattening On her first night in New York City, Kay Sohini sits on the tarmac of JFK Airport making an inventory of everything she's left behind in India: her family, friends, home, and gaslighting ex-boyfriend. In the wake of that untethering she realizes two things: she's finally made it to the city of her literary heroes—Kerouac, Plath, Bechdel—and the trauma she's endured has created gaping holes in her memory. As Kay begins the work of piecing herself back together she discovers the deep sense of belonging that can only be found on the streets of New York City. In the process she falls beautifully, ridiculously in love with the bustling landscape, and realizes that the places we love do not always love us back but can still somehow save us in weird, unexpected ways. At once heartbreaking and uplifting, This Beautiful, Ridiculous City explores the relationship between trauma and truth, displacement and belonging, and what it means to forge a life of one's own. About Kay Sohini: Kay Sohini is a South Asian researcher, writer, and graphic novelist based in New York. She holds a PhD in English from Stony Brook University and her essays and comics have been featured in The Washington Post, The Nib, and more. Her work focuses on utilizing comics in the scholarly examination of healthcare justice, environmental humanities, resisting disinformation, and creating an equitable future for all. This Beautiful, Ridiculous City is her first book.

Alison Bechdel (1960-present) is an American cartoonist and graphic memoirist best known for her groundbreaking comic strip Dykes to Watch Out For and her acclaimed graphic memoir Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic (2006). Bechdel is also known for the "Bechdel Test," a measure of gender representation in fiction. In 2014, she was awarded a MacArthur "Genius" Grant for her contributions to literature and visual storytelling. For Further Reading: Alison Bechdel | Biography, Comics, Books, & Facts | Britannica Cartoonist and Graphic Memoirist Alison Bechdel, 2014 MacArthur Fellow What is the Bechdel test? A shorthand for measuring representation in movies : NPR This month we're talking about Outsiders -- women who marched to the beat of their own drum and rejected stereotypes about what women "should" be. They are aesthetic pioneers, norm-benders, and often the only woman in their field. History classes can get a bad rap, and sometimes for good reason. When we were students, we couldn’t help wondering... where were all the ladies at? Why were so many incredible stories missing from the typical curriculum? Enter, Womanica. On this Wonder Media Network podcast we explore the lives of inspiring women in history you may not know about, but definitely should. Every weekday, listeners explore the trials, tragedies, and triumphs of groundbreaking women throughout history who have dramatically shaped the world around us. In each 5 minute episode, we’ll dive into the story behind one woman listeners may or may not know–but definitely should. These diverse women from across space and time are grouped into easily accessible and engaging monthly themes like Educators, Villains, Indigenous Storytellers, Activists, and many more. Womanica is hosted by WMN co-founder and award-winning journalist Jenny Kaplan. The bite-sized episodes pack painstakingly researched content into fun, entertaining, and addictive daily adventures. Womanica was created by Liz Kaplan and Jenny Kaplan, executive produced by Jenny Kaplan, and produced by Grace Lynch, Maddy Foley, Brittany Martinez, Edie Allard, Carmen Borca-Carrillo, Taylor Williamson, Sara Schleede, Paloma Moreno Jimenez, Luci Jones, Abbey Delk, Adrien Behn, Alyia Yates, Vanessa Handy, Melia Agudelo, and Joia Putnoi.

Eric Newman and Medaya Ocher speak with Alison Bechdel about her new graphic novel, Spent. Bechdel is the author of "Essential Dykes to Watch Out For," "Fun Home,"  and "Are You My Mother?" Spent fictionalizes Bechdel's life with her wife Holly on their pygmy goat sanctuary in Vermont. The comic chronicles political and local dramas, generational shifts, experiments with polyamory, and navigating the relationship between success and art. In conversation, Alison shares her struggles with fame, success, and the Trump era with a view toward the steadying forces of our relationships with others.

In this episode, I discuss with author Bruce Handy his book " Hollywood High: A Totally Epic, Way Opinionated History of Teen Movies". From a longtime Vanity Fair writer and editor, a delightfully entertaining, intelligent, and illuminating history and tribute to teen movies—from Rebel Without a Cause to Fast Times at Ridgemont High, and on to John Hughes, Mean Girls, The Hunger Games, and more.What influence did Francis Ford Coppola have on George Lucas's American Graffiti? And Lucas on John Singleton's Boyz n the Hood? How does teenage sexuality in Fast Times at Ridgemont High compare to Twilight? Which teen movies pass the Bechdel test? Why is Mean Girls actually the last great teen film of the 20th century?Doug Hess is the Producer and HostFollow on Facbook @forgottenhollywood

Alison Bechdel‘s cult following for her early comic strip Dykes to Watch Out For grew wildly in response to her graphic memoirs, the best-selling Fun Home, adapted into a Tony Award-winning musical, Are You My Mother?, and The Secret to Superhuman Strength. To many, her name is synonymous with the Bechdel Test, a metric to evaluate a film's representation of women. Her new book, Spent: A Comic Novel, hilariously skewers the absurdities of modern life while delivering a rollicking case for embracing life's messy truths before it's too late.  In Spent, a fictional version of Bechdel lives on a goat sanctuary in Vermont, where she is visited by the older versions of the central characters of Dykes to Watch Out For among others.  On May 27, 2025, Alison Bechdel came to the Sydney Goldstein Theater in San Francisco to read from her work, show slides, and answer questions from her fans.  She was introduced by artist Wendy MacNaughton. 

Join hosts Sam, August, Noah, and Elayna as they discuss THE ULTIMATE COMFORT EPISODE. Passing the Bechdel, D&D references abound, and Dean FINALLY started cluing into that bi awakening he has been processing for a few seasons. This episode discusses Supernatural Season 8, Episode 11, LARP and the Real Girl, through the theme of Bravery.For more episodes, visit queeringthingspodcast.com!

Host Jason Blitman talks to Jonathan Van Ness and Julie Murphy (Let Them Stare) about astrology, the names of our teenage cars, and early inspirations for their book. And Crock Pots. And British accents. And Nobu. They talk about a lot. Jason is then joined by queer icon Alison Bechdel who shares what she's been reading and talks about her new graphic novel, Spent.   Julie & JVN Publisher's Weekly ArticleJonathan Van Ness is an Emmy-winning television personality, 3x New York Times bestselling author, podcaster, comedian, celebrity hairstylist, and founder of JVN Hair.

Send us a textWow. Truly, we are so glad we took a detour to the affluent and completely bananas town of Sweet Valley, California to meet Jessica and Elizabeth Wakefield. These books have everything: an evil twin, a greaser who carjacks people and takes them to dive bars, an art teacher named Stuart who has no boundaries, and a lie detector test that measures your pulse with a thimble. In this episode we dive into books 1 and 57 of the enormous Sweet Valley High series, Double Love and Teacher Crush. Who knew books about high school sororities (?!?) and mandatory electives could be so compelling? In this episode of TBMM, we play the vintage SVH board game, learn about Hawa's twinness, hear about Hannah's faux twinness, and Hawa implies that Heather is 60. These books are really struggling to pass the Bechdel test, but we kind of love them. There are no deep themes, beautiful writing, or well developed characters here, folks, just teen soap opera nonsense that you can't put down. These Books Made Me is a podcast about the literary heroines who shaped us and is a product of the Prince George's County Memorial Library System podcast network.

On the 232nd episode of the WhoDatJedi podcast, your hosts -- Aaron Svoboda (@aaronsvoboda.bsky.social), Alfredo Narvaez (@nolafredo.bsky.social) and Dave Gladow (@davegladow.bsky.social) -- are joined by two special guests, friend to the program Sarah Postreich (@fsusarah42.bsky.social‬) and Dave's wife (and fellow friend to the program), Cait Gladow (@nolanolegal.bsky.social‬)! The two join for an in-depth discussion of feminism in "Andor." Certainly, "Andor" understands representation and walks the walk better than maybe any other Star Wars property ever has, but the show also takes steps beyond the Bechdel test to address themes relevant to women's life experiences. The group tackles some of those topics, which characters resonate so well and why, and basically just gush more about a truly great show. Join us!

Perhaps you've been following Alison Bechdel's work since her comic strip “Dykes to Watch Out For,” which invented the now ubiquitous Bechdel test (does a movie have two women who speak to each other about something other than a man?). Maybe you came to know her through her graphic memoir “Fun Home,” which was adapted into a Tony-award winning musical. Her latest comic novel, “Spent,” is a work of autofiction that grapples with and parodies Bechdel's own popularity. We'll talk with Bechdel about being famous in a world on fire— and the funny side of it, too. Guests: Alison Bechdel, graphic novelist and cartoonist, author of "Spent: A Comic Novel." Her previous books include "The Secret to Superhuman Strength" and "Fun Home," which was adapted into a Tony Award-winning musical. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Alison Bechdel rose to fame as the creator of a long-running alt-weekly comic strip before jumping to an even wider audience by way of her celebrated graphic memoirs “Fun Home” and “Are You My Mother?” Her new book, “Spent,” is a graphic novel — but it was originally meant to be another memoir, as Bechdel tells Gilbert Cruz on this week's podcast.“Over the years that I turned myself from being a comic strip writer into a memoirist, I got very sort of self-righteous about memoir as a genre,” Bechdel says. “I just thought, why would you bother making anything up? Life is incredible. It's all right there. It's served up on a platter every day. Write about that. My friends who are fiction writers would say, You're able to tell a deeper kind of truth with fiction, don't you think? And I would agree with them, but secretly I would think, no, you can't. You've got to tell the actual truth. But that does get really tiresome. It gets tiring." Unlock full access to New York Times podcasts and explore everything from politics to pop culture.

As the old adage goes, "Well-behaved women seldom make history" and Tomb Raider takes that to a whole new level. Based on the popular late 90s action-adventure video games, Angelina Jolie plays the titular Lara Croft in these high-energy films released during the early 2000s. To help us unpack the early inspirations for this character and her initial film adaptations, we are joined by Egyptologist (and sometimes Lara Croft cosplayer), Dr. Marina Escolano-Povdeda. While these films definitely fail the Bechdel test, one must marvel at this cinematic world in which no one questions Lara's capabilities as a Tomb Raider. Even if she probably destroys more tombs than not, her importance as an icon for young girls and women who wanted to enter the male-dominated field of archaeology cannot be overstated. That's got to count for something, right? If you are interested in learning more about #RealArchaeology and the people who do it, be sure to check out https://real-archaeology.com/index.html.

In this special episode, we move the discussion out of the Stardust Lounge and into the soulless void of a podcast studio... mostly to address the first three seasons' alcohol budget imbalance. We share our thoughts about the New York Times "Best Books of the 21st Century." A list which includes works by Alison Bechdel and Cormac McCarthy. (Does McCarthy PASS the Bechdel test? The answer will not surprise you.) We talk a lot about the books we've read, admit to the books we shamefully have not, and nitpick the list based on odd, arbitrary fixations we've developed over years of reading  books and then podcasting about them... but by now you would expect nothing less.

In our final character episode of this season, we put Carrie from Sex and the City on the couch. Nemone looks at why Sex and the City hasn't aged well, and Ben talks about diversity in the privileged, white world of the show. We get into Carrie's shopping habit, low self-esteem, and why everyone in the show is SO obsessed with relationships, even though the women really have no need for them. We also get a primer on the Bechdel test, and how you can tell if a show is sexist without knowing it. And if you want to check out more on the patriarchy and diversity, have a listen to our episodes on Sydney from The Bear.

Happy birthday Jacki! This week the ghouls are joined by the always lovely, hilarious, and amazing influencer Elizabeth Sagewood as they venture to LA and visit Studio 666. The ghouls and Liz talk Foo Fighters, book recs relating to music and horror, and the hilarity which is Studio 666. Can the Foo Fighters pull of a horror comedy (the hardest sub-genre out there)? Will this film pass the Bechdel test? Will they survive? How often will Marissa bust out into song? Will they run out of ranch dressing? So let's do a Pearl Jam High Five, say YES to Dave Grohl, and head over to Studio 666.

Despite my appreciation for Yorgos Lanthimos' earlier work, I was not planning on seeing Poor Things. A lot of my feminist friends were not fans and I figured I could skip it. But then I learned that Kathryn Hunter was in it, playing a madam, and I got curious. (I worked with Kathryn on a show in London a while ago so she's very dear to me.) So I watched it. Apparently there was a whole conversation around whether or not this was a feminist film. (Answer: not.) But it is, as my friend said, some men's idea of a feminist film. Which is really not the same. This is not to say that men can't make feminist films. If Lanthimos made a bio pic of Gloria Steinem, maybe that would be a feminist film. (Though maybe not if he chose to focus exclusively on her relationships with men or only her Playboy bunny stunt but otherwise it would be hard to NOT make a feminist film about Steinem.) But while this film may pass the Bechdel test on a technicality (I think the conversation between Emma Stone and Kathryn Hunter was longer than thirty seconds and not about A man – it was about how to service men so… ) I'm not sure I'd give it the point. A film in which a woman is largely on her own in the world of men does not scratch any feminist itch of mine. Women working toward equality and the benefit of other women is the main criteria for that as far as I'm concerned.

As your favorite media critics, Captain and Wilson, raise a glass to the peculiar and the profound in today's wild ride through TV land. Sip on a Grasshopper with us as we dissect the offbeat charm of "Palm Royale" and chart the course of binge-watching triumphs like "Loot." We don't shy away from the tough questions either: Can the Fallout TV series truly capture the essence of its video game roots? And what does it take to adapt a fan-favorite like Halo without losing its soul? Gather 'round as we unpack these adaptations, lament the pitfalls, and celebrate the success stories.Then it's lights, camera, action on our deep-dive into the enigmatic "Black Box" from the Welcome to Blumhouse series. You'll be on the edge of your seat as we unpack Mamadou Athie's mesmerizing performance and Emmanuel Osei-Kuffour Jr.'s directorial prowess. But that's not all—join us as we confront the reality of movies skirting by on the Bechdel test, and follow Nolan's heartrending journey through amnesia and identity in a cinematic quest that will leave you pondering long after the credits roll.Lastly, brace yourself for a spectrum of emotions—from the brutality of "The Boys" spinoff to the animated, yet no less intense, "Invincible." We share our candid takes on these series, alongside musings on medical narratives and the underrated value of a good family handshake. Whether you're a Grasshopper enthusiast, a mango-flavored beer aficionado, or simply a connoisseur of compelling storytelling, this episode is your one-stop shop for all things TV and film. Cheers to the adventure!The film discussion begins around 17:35.

Welcome to Filmmaking (Actually)! This episode is excerpted from a panel where Koura sat down for an interview discussing the latest Space Dream Productions film project, called The Heist -- which is available to watch right now for free on the Easterseals Disability Film Challenge YouTube channel -- with Dr. Stephanie Van on her YouTube channel This Ability Clinic. Koura Linda is the director and star of “The Heist,” a short film created for the Easterseals Disability Film Challenge of 2024, which tasked filmmakers with making a short film from start to finish in a WEEK. Koura shares her experience collaborating with a team of disabled filmmakers to create a buddy comedy where half the dialogue is in ASL and the entire film passes the Bechdel test. Dr. Van is an interventional pain management specialist, double board certified in pain management and physical medicine and rehabilitation, and an assistant professor at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, where she promotes disability-conscious healthcare education for every body.

In the works is a film I've been looking for my entire life -- a climate romcom. And it couldn't be in better hands.In this episode, I talk with Kim Steele, a narrative climate storyteller with an amazing background in acting, filmmaking, and Broadway theater. We talk about utilizing LinkedIn for filmmaking connections (who knew?!); the transition from Broadway; the importance of climate films -- but in an engaging way and the need for a Bechdel test for climate; the benefits of seeking nontraditional financing in indie films; filmmaking in Georgia and the value of networking laterally; and what's next for this trailblazer in filmmaking.I'll spoil it: the climate romcom...and I can't wait.Kim's Indie Filmmaker Highlight: Yellow Dot Studios (https://yellowdotstudios.com/)Links:Kim Steele's Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/heykimsteele/)"Now There's a Bechdel Test for Climate Change in Film" https://www.indiewire.com/news/business/bechdel-test-climate-change-film-good-energy-1234958880/)Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/first-time-go/exclusive-content

We've made it to our anniversary episode. Debaser is officially one year old this week, and to celebrate, we are covering a beloved movie that both Will & Jared love dearly: The auteur directed, big budget, live-action, kaiju mecha film of their dreams: Pacific Rim!Does Pacific Rim live up to our memories, over a decade after release? Do we even acknowledge the sequel? Who would we each choose to replace Charlie Hunnam? Does Pacific Rim pass the Bechdel test? Does Will make a joke at the end of the show that puts the entire podcast in jeopardy?! Listen to find out!Did you know that 90% of podcasts stop after three episodes? The following 90% of podcasts that publish more than that stop after twenty episodes. Debaser is now 52 episodes old, placing in the 1% of podcasts.

We could see record-breaking warmth today, we're talking 60 degrees in February. Is this the end of Minnesota winter? We could see some snow tomorrow, but one resort owner is pulling the plug on ice fishing season. What is the impact of this warm winter on Minnesota's migratory birds? We'll talk to a local climate expert.And our resident doctor is back for another edition of Vital Signs. We get his opinion on changing COVID isolation guidelines and measles cases that have popped up in Minnesota. Plus, she's known for the Bechdel test, but Minnesota native Alison Bechdel also made her mark as a cartoonist. More than 40 years later, she'll be home sharing her story.

You may have heard Alison Bechdel's name from the feminist film tool, the Bechdel test, or through her memoir turned Tony-award-winning Broadway musical called Fun Home. But even before those achievements, Bechdel wove herself into the fabric of lesbian cultural identity when she started publishing her comic strip 'Dykes to Watch Out For' in Minneapolis back in 1983. And the strip had gained a worldwide cult following for its game-changing portrayal of American queer life. It went on hiatus in 2008 but is still getting attention to this day.Alison Bechdel is a MacArthur Genius Award recipient and the author of a New York Times best-selling graphic memoir. Next week on March 4th, she'll be coming back home to speak at St. Thomas University as the Luann Dummer Center for Women, Women's History Month Speaker. We revisit a conversation from 2022, when she sat down with MPR News producer Ellen Finn to look back at the roots of her work in Minnesota.

This week we are entering virtual reality to kick some virtual ass while we discuss “First Person Shooter”. Note the lack of an exclamation mark. We're ready to be true haters this week. We talk how the term “male gaze” was probably invented to describe this episode, puzzle over the Venn diagram of Euro-goons and cyber trash, advocate for Gillian Anderson getting a big spray bottle for the rest of the crew this time, how this episode wants to be “Basic Instinct” so bad, how unsettling (in a bad way) it is to watch a bunch of grown men salivating over women like this, and how this episode shockingly passes the Bechdel test. We leave room for levity as we clown on Mulder's little gaming outfit, wonder if Chris Carter was mad at David Duchovny and that's why the episode is like this, discover they had to shock David Duchovny to put on the suit, and just shake our heads at how out of character everyone is. But the one thing we did learn from this episode that we can all take with us: Scully with a big gun IS feminism. That's just facts.Send us an email at scullynationpod@gmail.com or follow us on Twitter and Instagram!

This week we're checking out a podcast that explains whether or not you're allowed to like certain movies and TV shows. Have you ever wondered whether or not Gremlins passes the Bechdel test? You haven't? What's wrong with you?? Tab Birt joins the show to explain how Anita Sarkeesian tried to ruin video games and Jerry hangs out in studio with us. After learning nothing about Gremlins, Anthony Cumia and Missy B join the show to witness John getting pranked and freaking out on his poor mother. Also, we wrap up the holiday song parody contest and crown a winner (or two).
