On this special episode, Kat Spada interviews cohost Anita Sarkeesian and Feminist Frequency Family Founder Carolyn Petit about their new Nebula original series, That Time When. Directed and presented by Anita and written by Carolyn, the show dives into some of the most divisive moments of modern history, when politics and pop culture collide. Listen in as they discuss the behind-the-scenes creative process, why this show is so different from the “Tropes” series, and why this show about the past matters now.Time Stamps:50:52 - What's your Freq Out?Kat on the reality series The Amazing Race and the podcast The Gaymazing RaceAnita on the novel Interior Chinatown by Charles YuCarolyn on the film Vesper (2022) directed by Kristina Buozyte and Bruno SamplerLinks Mentioned:Watch That Time When on Nebula: https://nebula.tv/thattimewhenFind Carolyn:twitter.com/carolynmichellekotaku.comFind Anita:twitter.com/anitasarkeesianFind Kat:twitter.com/kat_ex_machinaFind Us:Join our PatreonOur WebsiteSubscribe to FFR on Apple PodcastsTwitterInstagramtwitch.tv/femfreq

After we did all that prep work last episode, it's time to finally begin the heist. John Warren returns alongside newcomer Carolyn Petit to talk about how The Heist embodies Cyberpunk 2077's potential before large swaths of the game squander it. We also get sidetracked talking about V as a protagonist, the underlying humanity of the cyberpunk genre, and finally meet Keanu Reeves as Johnny Silverhand. Enjoy the show!

Carolyn Petit returns as special guest to lead our discussion of the 1970s on the penultimate episode of our “Hollywood by the Decade” series. She selected two acclaimed films to focus our discussion. From 1971, Alan Pakula's KLUTE, in which Jane Fonda plays a sex worker who teams up with an investigator (played by Donald Sutherland), to search for a missing person who'd once been a client of hers. In Paul Mazursky's 1978 film AN UNMARRIED WOMAN, Jill Clayburgh stars as an Upper West Sider who navigates dating, friendships, and parenting an independent teenage daughter in the aftermath of an unexpected divorce. Two disparate films about female characters directed by men, but connected by a very 1970s focus on character with glimpses into their inner thoughts and lives.Links Mentioned:Angelica Jade Bastién's Criterion Collection essay about An Unmarried Woman: https://www.criterion.com/current/posts/6975-an-unmarried-woman-the-business-of-being-a-woman“Everyone is Beautiful and No One is Horny”: https://bloodknife.com/everyone-beautiful-no-one-horny/Find Carolyn:twitter.com/carolynmichelleFind Us:Join our PatreonOur WebsiteSubscribe to FFR on Apple PodcastsSubscribe to our Star Trek PodcastTwitterInstagramtwitch.tv/femfreq (every Thursday at 6:30pm PT)

For our 200th(!!) episode of Feminist Frequency Radio, Anita, Ebony, and Carolyn reunite to discuss the Coen brother's infinitely quotable, The Big Lebowski. Since its 1998 release, the film has earned cult classic status, spawning festivals, conferences, and even a religion: Dudism. Does our original FFR trio abide? Listen in as we revisit The Dude on his hapless, meandering odyssey through LA to find out.Time Stamps:6:00 - Main discussion on The Big Lebowski41:49 - What's your Freq Out?Carolyn on the book Conflict Is Not Abuse: Overstating Harm, Community Responsibility, and the Duty of Repair by Sarah SchulmanEbony on the twitter thread of Orsen Welles burns on other directors - https://twitter.com/jfrankensteiner/status/1522761153822269440?s=21&t=u19lPY5tVM7xUOrofR24EwAnita on new thoughts on the film The Old GuardSubmit your own FREQ out at feministfrequency.com/FREQOUTMentioned:The Long Goodbye (1973), directed by Robert AltmanHow Aladdin Changed Animation (by Screwing Over Robin Williams), video by Lindsay Ellis - https://youtu.be/nyiBdccfNkgFollow Ebony:twitter.com/ebonyasterFollow Carolyn:twitter.com/carolynmichellekotaku.comFollow Us:Join our PatreonOur WebsiteSubscribe to FFR on Apple PodcastsSubscribe to our Star Trek PodcastTwitterInstagramtwitch.tv/femfreq (every Thursday at 6:30pm PT)

Joining us to talk about the film is FemFreq Favorite and Managing Editor at Kotaku, Carolyn Petit! We've missed our former co-host and know you have, too; a good discussion is all but guaranteed when Caro's in the house, and today is no exception as we tackle the film's themes of addiction, power, art, self-discovery and more.  And be sure to check out our bonus episode this week!

In our final episode of 2021, we welcome a very special guest: Carolyn Petit herself! Along with Anita and Ebony, the original FFR trio are discussing Paul Verhoeven's Benedetta—the premiere of which faced protests by Catholics upset with the film's depiction of illicit attraction between 17th century nuns. Does this ecstatically portrayed story of Sister Benedetta—a fervently devoted Renaissance nun consumed by the force of her transcendent visions—qualify as a Very Caro Movie?

The GamesIndustry.biz team gather around their mics and discuss the biggest news of the past week. First up, following an article by Kotaku's Carolyn Petit and a call from OutMakingGames, we discuss how Rockstar Games should handle the transphobic elements of Grand Theft Auto 5 as it prepares to release the best-selling title on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. OutMakingGames and Petit both call for the content's removal, or a context disclaimer decrying transphobia in today's society, but whether or not that's something Rockstar will do is another matter. We also delve deeper into the topic of accessibility, not only following the discussions around Deathloop but also our in-depth guide on how to make your game more accessible to a wider audience and why it's important to do so. As always, you can get more news, insight and analysis at www.gamesindustry.biz.

Coincidentally, our incredible conversation with the illustrious Carolyn Petit may just be the best thing about this trash heap of a year!But first, we’re “Logging On” with Super Meat Boy Forever, Cyberpunk 2077’s endless drama, and The Game Awards. “These Past Two Weeks in Nerddom,” we finally discuss our overlord Disney’s Investor Day announcements, the release of Wonder Woman 1984, and related DC Films fallout.Finally, on an extended “Party Chat,” we continue our conversation with Carolyn from last year about Cyberpunk 2077 and Watch Dogs Legion, now having played them both! Did the Watch Dogs Legion team end up delivering on a true revolution? Was Cyberpunk 2077 any good beyond the bugs? Is capitalism dooming us all into inescapable dystopian futures? We give definitive and infallible answers to all of these questions and more.Thank you so much for listening! As always, we really appreciate the support.

Polygon and RPG Site reviewers Carolyn Petit and Alex Donaldson join the show to analyze the biggest RPG of 2020: Cyberpunk 2077! They talk about the ways that it does (and doesn't) push the cyberpunk genre forward, its technical problems, and whether its handling of trans issues is as poor as it seems.

In this inaugural episode of Important In Your Life, your hosts Jonathan Mann and Carolyn Petit start the show with a showstopper! Yes, we begin our exploration of Jonathan Richman's career with "Roadrunner," arguably his most legendary song, and one which was covered by Joan Jett, the Sex Pistols and many others. Our conversation starts with a quick look at our personal introductions to Jonathan's music, and some thoughts on why some people become such lifelong, devoted fans. We then discuss what makes "Roadrunner" a quintessential Jonathan tune, one that contains, even at that early stage, some of the qualities that would go on to define him as an artist. We also discuss his uneasy relationship with the possibility of mainstream success, how his love of the modern world has evolved, and the numerous versions of "Roadrunner" that Jonathan recorded and released.

The 92nd Academy Awards will air this Sunday, which means we at FFR must once again extract what meaning we can from an awards show which consistently seems to celebrate the same stories from the same people. Why are the Oscars still such a big deal, and why do we still need to talk about them? We take a look at what the nominations say about the kind of narratives which are held up as the best, including our thoughts on performances, and the stories we loved over the last year that were overlooked.Time Stamps:0:59 - “Homemaking with Anita Sarkeesian”5:22 - Main Discussion on the nomination choices for the 92nd Academy Awards40:21 - What’s Your Freq Out?Carolyn on Kentucky Route ZeroEbony on Dracula (Netflix, 2020) and Bad Boys for LifeAnita on Wired to Wear exhibit at The Museum of Science and Industry in ChicagoLinks Mentioned:Anita’s appearance @ The Washington Post (livestream begins 5pm ET on 2/6) - https://www.washingtonpost.com/washington-post-live-the-power-of-play-video-games-and-esports/“Greta Gerwig on the Lives of Little Women And Why ‘Male Violence’ Isn’t All That Matters” by Greta Gerwig, Vanity Fair, January 11, 2020 - https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2020/01/greta-gerwig-little-women-scriptOscar eligibility rules: https://www.oscars.org/news/academy-announces-rules-92nd-oscars“Hard Times: Revisiting Acts I-IV of Kentucky Route Zero While Desperately Looking for Work” by Carolyn Petit, Medium, January 25, 2020 - https://t.co/xe8onvJu1Z?amp=1Follow Us:Join our PatreonOur WebsiteSubscribe on to FFR on Apple PodcastsSubscribe to our Star Trek PodcastTwitterInstagram

In December of 2015, an article was published in New York Magazine that told an amazing story. In the wake of the 2008 Wall Street collapse, a group of women who worked at the New York strip club Scores saw the men and the money stop coming in, so they devised a risky, unconventional, and illegal way to make the money come in. Now the true story of these women and their criminal endeavor is the subject of the new film Hustlers. Written and directed by Lorene Scafaria, the film stars Jennifer Lopez and Constance Wu and charts the spectacular rise and fall of a criminal enterprise that tells us a great deal about wealth and power in the early 21st century.Time Stamps:* 03:50 - Entertainment News: Shane Gillis dismissed from SNL for racism, Sam Smith uses they/them pronouns* 10:09 - Main Segment: Hustlers* 39:30 - What’s Your FREQ Outs: Fun City Podcast, Come As You Are by Emily Nagoski, Burnout: The Secret to Unlocking the Stress Cycle by Emily and Amelia NagoskiLinks Mentioned:* NY Times Review of Hustlers: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/09/11/movies/hustlers-review.html* The Real Story Behind Hustlers: https://www.vulture.com/2019/09/hustlers-the-real-story-behind-the-movie.html Follow Us:Join our Patreon Community https://www.patreon.com/femfreqOur Website https://feministfrequency.com/Subscribe, rate and review us on Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...Twitter https://twitter.com/femfreqInstagram https://www.instagram.com/femfreq/Youtube http://bit.ly/2bDhQUX

This week, we shift away from our usual format for a special bonus episode. Join Anita and Carolyn for a conversation about recent events in the gaming industry that have lead to what many are calling gaming’s #MeToo moment. Our conversation explores the social systems and biases that allow men to routinely commit acts of abuse and then protect them from the repercussions, the far-reaching pain and trauma caused by these acts and the accompanying abuses of power, and what change and justice might look like.PLEASE NOTE: This episode comes with a trigger warning for discussions of abuse and suicide.Read Nathalie Lawhead’s blog post at http://www.nathalielawhead.com/candybox/calling-outSign up for our newsletter at feministfrequency.com

On this week’s FFR, Ebony and Carolyn continue our conversation about Life Is Strange 2 by diving into the recently released fourth episode, Faith. We talk about a particularly challenging scene in which Sean encounters a pair of racists, the different ways in which we approach the game as players, and the way the game continues to give its characters a surprising level of emotional complexity, and to view them through a compassionate lens.

This week, we're going toe-to-toe with writer-director Riley Stearns' new dark comedy The Art of Self Defense, starring Jesse Eisenberg and Alessandro Nivola. We talk about how the film brings a critical lens to the socially constructed "rules" of manhood, and to the ways in which men are pressured to perform masculinity among other men in the establishment of a kind of hierarchy. We also discuss how the film works as a kind of response to Fight Club. SEGMENT TIMESTAMPS 2:10 The Art of Self Defense 33:45 What's Your FREQ-Out?

This week, we discuss Quentin Tarantino's 9th feature film, an epic* ode to manly men and one uncomplicated babywoman. Two of your hosts left the theater feeling personally attacked by the film's masturbatory fantasia; one host had thoughtful and ruminative insights about the film's seductive evocation of time and place. You'll be completely "surprised" by who thought what! For all the FFR accountants out there, please note that Carolyn cashed in her topic voucher for this film.

Time travel is such a powerful fictional device. It allows creators to shine a light on the cultural struggles and social ills of the present by making powerful connections with the past, and by offering wonderful or horrifying visions of the future. Of course, it can also just be a whole lot of fun! But time travel is uniquely powerful as a tool for feminist writers; after all, feminism has always fought to prevent women’s contributions from being written out of history. Time travel allows for stories in which women struggle not just to gain power but to regain their place in time itself. With special guest author and journalist Annalee Newitz!

There’s a lot to celebrate about our increasingly diverse mainstream media landscape. Modern audiences can immerse themselves in so many different kinds of compelling stories-- stories from which POC, the disabled, queer people -- (basically anyone who wasn’t middle class, straight, and white) had traditionally been excluded. It’s a victory of a sort, but it only goes so far. We still have so far to go in terms of representation in our media, but more than that, can we ever really look to corporate media to independently advance the culture in a progressive, meaningful, and sustainable way? How do we ensure mindful engagement with media and demand accountability from the billion dollar behemoths behind our favorite media properties?
