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)

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.

Important In Your Life: A Jonathan Richman Fancast

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

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?

People often use the term “guilty pleasures” to talk about media they enjoy even though they feel it has little redeeming value. But what does it mean to be a feminist media critic who sometimes finds herself enjoying media that she believes is outright harmful? On this week’s FFR, we have a frank conversation about what guilty pleasures mean to us, and our own relationship to media that we may appreciate or admire on some level, even while believing that it perpetuates harmful myths or values.

This week we dive into Always Be My Maybe, Netflix’s latest romcom staring Ali Wong, Randall Park (and of course) Keanu Reeves. Because we are rapidly turning into a Keanu Reeves podcast. Ebony and Anita had very different opinions on this movie. Anita tried to opt-out of this episode because she feels bad about her opinions. Carolyn still refuses to bring us any positive entertainment news but does talk about some news in games.

On this FFR, we’re talkin’ ‘bout the wonderful new animated series Tuca and Bertie! Created by Bojack Horseman producer and production designer Lisa Hanawalt, Tuca and Bertie stars Tiffany Haddish and Ali Wong as best friends whose friendship must evolve when Bertie moves in with her boyfriend Speckle. Oh, and also they’re all birds. Our conversation covers the way in which the show explores numerous experiences and issues with honesty, compassion, and humor, as well as its avoidance of certain harmful stereotypes, and the (sadly) rare and refreshing way in which it treats female sexuality. Also, our reactions to fan reactions to the end of Game of Thrones, and the latest from KeanuWatch 2019.
