Podcast appearances and mentions of danita steinberg

On this week's episode of Spinsterhood Reimagined, I talk to Toronto-based culture writer, copywriter, podcaster, and creator of Instagram account @womenlivingalone, Danita Steinberg. I absolutely loved this conversation and I know that you will too.In this episode, Danita and I talk about how she has always been single, and that she identifies as asexual and queer; how we live in a very heteronormative society and how there are so many more incarnations and levels  of sexuality; and the dawning realisation growing up that she  did not experience sexual attraction. Danita also talks to me about how she never had crushes in high school and how this caused her difficulties when it came to relating to her school friends; how hard it was growing up as asexual and how  she eventually came out to her friends; and the concept of compulsory heterosexuality. We chat about how romantic and sexual attraction are two completely different things; how her female friendships have changed in recent years as many of them have got married and had kids, and how she has been grieving the relationships they once were; and her experiences with Bumble BFF, the ‘dating' app for friendship. This conversation also covers the ups and downs of living alone once Danita moved into her own place just a month before lockdown; her thoughts around feelings of loneliness; how she has always been fascinated with all things paranormal and spooky; and how she thinks Jane Fonda is very underrated as an actor. I truly hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I enjoyed having it!Follow Danita on Instagram: @womenlivingalone and @danitasteinbergFollow Danita on Twitter: @danitasteinbergListen to Danita's Podcast, We Really Like Her!, on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/we-really-like-her/id1393872370 Listen to Danita's podcast on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1j7gF9A4NKiw4TT7PT3sp6 Join my private Facebook Group: Join my private Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1870817913309222/?ref=shareFollow me on Instagram: @spinsterhoodreimaginedFollow me on Twitter: @LucyMeggesonEmail me: lucymeggeson@gmail.com

Some of the awards include Celeb with the Most Audacity (here's looking at you, Judd Apatow!) and the Celeb Who Was the Most Wholesome (yep, it was obviously Youn Yuh-jung and Troy Kotsur!) but that's just the tip of the iceberg!If you liked what you heard, maybe think about rating us!  You can also find all our social links by visiting our Lnk.Bio page.

Climb into our fur(s) and get cozy because we’re closing out 2019 with an extended episode dedicated to our favourite films directed by women this past decade! We’re talking everything from underrated tearjerkers (YOUR SISTER’S SISTER, anyone?) and acclaimed dramedies (LADY BIRD!) to fearless horror flicks (remember THE VOICES?) and genre-defying docs (here’s looking at you, SHIRKERS). Plus, we reveal our top movie of 2019 (it is, shockingly, unanimous!) and which gore-geous horror film we’ll be screening at Toronto’s Revue Cinema on January 30!

Which hit film is heartfelt, hilarious, head-banging, and helmed by a most righteous babe of punk cinema? It’s WAYNE’S WORLD (party time, excellent)! In honour of Emily’s birthday, we’re bowing down to Penelope Spheeris’s WAY worthy 1992 comedy about friendship, “foxy” ladies, and finding success on your own terms. Let’s look straight into the camera and address important questions like, did you ever find haiku writer, secret drummer and possible Scorpio Garth Algar endlessly relatable? Also, has there ever been a more excellent faux rocker chick than - cue Gary Wright’s “Dream Weaver” - Tia Carrere’s Cassandra? And why in the hell did Mike Myers not trust Penelope’s vision for what would become one of the most iconic music moments in movie history???We Really Like Her! is produced by Emily Gagne and Danita Steinberg, edited by Danita Steinberg, with a theme song by Emily Milling.

This week we’re taking a trip to 1960s Louisana with Toronto filmmaker Lu Asfaha! As Kasi Lemmons tours the world with her new film, HARRIET, we’re revisiting her magical debut feature, EVE’S BAYOU, a film about growing up, sisterhood and the complicated nature of memory. After lamenting the fact that Lemmons didn’t get all the calls after this truly remarkable work (which Roger Ebert dubbed best film of 1997!!) killed at the box office, we celebrate the other incredible women who helped her bring the film to life (including cinematographer Amy Vincent, actresses Jurnee Smollett-Bell and Debbi Morgan). Plus, Lu speaks to the ways Lemmons inspires her as a genre writer/director and gives us a sneak peek of her two (!!) films screening at the Regent Park Film Festival this month: DEAD END (November 20) and PALADIN (November 21). And Danita debuts her fan theory linking Eve Batiste to Danny “Redrum” Torrence!

A perfect example of an early, long-list Oscar prediction movie, 2005′s Ladies in Lavender arrived after multiple festivals to a successful arthouse run thanks to the presence of its Dame headliners Judi Dench and Maggie Smith. But despite coming in the era primed to reward this kind of women’s picture and both actresses in particular, … Continue reading "069 – Ladies in Lavender (with Danita Steinberg)"

For this year’s Halloween episode, we’re digging up a forgotten favourite! Yes, it’s time to revive the conversation around director Mary Lambert and her grossly (emphasis on the GROSS!) underrated 1989 adaptation of Stephen King’s Pet Sematary. Follow us to the forests of Ludlow, Maine as we unearth our true feelings about the 2019 remake and the ways in which it (im)pales in comparison to Mary’s revolting and revolutionary take. We also mourn the loss of Mary’s original concept for Pet Sematary II (which would have followed Ellie Creed!) and wonder whether the Fun and Fucked Up horror film is dead, or just buried under a pile of “elevated” yet uninteresting spins on the genre.

One, two, a new episode for you! We’re back from our hiatus to celebrate the 25th anniversary of NEW NIGHTMARE with dreamghoul and fellow horror lover Lindsay Traves. Join us in the boiler room as we slice and dice the NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET franchise, revisiting Heather Langenkamp’s ongoing role as Nancy Thompson. Why do we still scream for Robert Englund as literal child murderer Freddy Krueger, but hardly ever talk about Nancy, a true survivor, pyjama enthusiast, and precursor to one of the best modern final girls (calling Sidney Prescott!)? And what would a new NEW NIGHTMARE look like, especially without Nancy’s biggest fan, Wes Craven, in the picture?

We're finally over our post-festival colds (okay, Emily's still coughing a bit) and ready to share our final TIFF thoughts! Settle in with a seasonal beverage (pumpkin spice cold brew, anyone?) and listen in as we reflect on all the women-directed films we saw, including new works from Kasi Lemmons (HARRIET) and Alma Har'el (HONEY BOY) as well as debut features from Aisling Chin-Yee (THE REST OF US, a.k.a. Danita's new favourite film!) and Rose Glass (SAINT MAUD). Plus, what did Movie Club think of Renée Zellweger's buzzed-about performance in JUDY? Will Beanie Feldstein be redefining teen cinema (again!) with HOW TO BUILD A GIRL? And why is Emily so obsessed with KNIVES OUT?We Really Like Her! is produced by Emily Gagne and Danita Steinberg, edited by Danita Steinberg, and features a theme song by Emily Milling.

Pull up a Muskoka chair and a huge box of Kleenex because this week’s episode is dedicated to birthday girl Danita and two of her all-time faves: Bette Midler and BEACHES. Listen in as Danita looks back on her lifelong relationship with the Divine Miss M, including a devastating childhood story involving a VHS tape, an autograph, and a couple of extra 'D's (!). Plus, what does Emily really think of BEACHES after only watching it for the first time two years ago (with Danita, of course)?

Listen in as we flip right out over this California-set riff on Romeo and Juliet, including its seriously cute cast (Deborah Foreman + Nic Cage 4 ever!), rad soundtrack (we melt for “I Melt with You”!), and totally tubular costumes.

It’s summer and we’re in *a mood* so we decided it was finally time to talk about the unfairly maligned and absolutely brilliant Diablo Cody. If we’re going to be honest to blog, we love everything Diablo does (Emily especially), but this week we’re focusing on one of her most challenging works: 2011’s YOUNG ADULT. Why does this uncompromising, uncomfortable character study about a depressed writer obsessed with her high school beau not get discussed more? Could it have something to do with how so many other Diablo scripts - JENNIFER’S BODY, TULLY, RICKI AND THE FLASH - are dismissed for centering on “unlikeable” leading ladies (a.k.a. women dealing with legitimate issues like life, death and mental health)?

Break out your purple clogs and your most capable outfit! Drunk Feminist Films cast member Bernita Rebeiro is in the passenger seat of our Jeep this week, giving us the 411 on why she’s still majorly, totally, butt crazy in love with Alicia Silverstone and her performance in CLUELESS. Better buckle up because we’re not only discussing Amy Heckerling’s, like, totally important teen film and its utterly aspirational protagonist, (fashion icon/do-gooder Cher Horowitz!), but also the “Crazy” gross trend that may have made Alicia say “Outie!” to other major acting roles.

This week, we are sitting and talking about Nicole Holofcener's debut film, critically-acclaimed ode to female friendship WALKING AND TALKING. How is it that this film, which paved the way for so many great modern works by and about women (including, yes, BRIDESMAIDS), isn’t talked about as much as the films of, say, Cameron Crowe and Noah Baumbach?

While the second half of this episode is an extended ode to the sexiest film about Toronto (TAKE THIS WALTZ), there’s also talk of BLUE VALENTINE, DAWSON’S CREEK, MEEK’S CUTOFF and HALLOWEEN: H20.
