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. We Really Like Her! is produced by Danita Steinberg and Emily Gagne, edited by Sonya Suraci, with a theme song by Emily Milling.

Most of you probably care about The Bachelor, but few of you care quite as much as Drunk Feminist Films and Yes New Friends co-founder Amy Wood, who joins Anne this week. Together, they cover everything from Bachelor Nation (a real thing!) to the greatest contestant bios to why that godforsaken pavement is always wet -- and then some. All in time for the season premiere of The Bachelorette! Please accept a rose. You can follow Amy on Twitter and Instagram, or head to her website to see what projects she's working on.

This week, I am joined by Amy Wood and Kyrell Grant, two members of Drunk Feminist Films, a Toronto troupe who would rather "laugh than cry their way through Hollywood representations of gender, race, sexuality, class and other aspects of identity." DFF produces lighthearted events and media that use cocktail-fuelled feminist commentary to tease apart the tropes of mainstream movies. Join us, as we rip apart of a few of 1998's most iconic flicks, including There's Something About Mary, Ever After, Can't Hardly Wait, Practical Magic, You've Got Mail and Wild Things. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
This week on FemRadio, we're bringing you an oldie-but-a-goodie. As we're smack in the middle of TIFF this week, I thought it would be a good time to revisit our interview with some of the funny AF folks behind Drunk Feminist Films - the popular Toronto film series featuring feminist commentary from a series of hilarious local comedians. Stacey chats with -- and -- about the power of feminist laughter, representation in film, and much more!We'll also have some things we're digging this week, and some local Toronto events that we think you should be checking out. But first, we’ve got some Canadian Feminist News Headlines!Special thanks to Alexx Bryant for editing this week's show. Aired September 11, 2017. Produced by: Emily Joveski, Smantha Lapierre, Alexx Bryant, Stacey Copeland.
