Podcasts about fridging

New episode out now! We watched the 1993 film The Fugitive starring Harrison Ford and Tommy Lee Jones. We discuss the two main characters and their dual and layered investigations that evolve over the course of the film, love the action and stunts as well as the tension that carries between them throughout, enjoy the camaraderie of the US Marshals team, and think Harrison Ford is just so great at playing a guy who's Going Through It. We also get surprised over and over by recognizable character actors, wonder if certain cliches stem from this movie, really enjoy the score, and debate what happens after the movie's credits. Katy uses official medical terms, Carrie worried about the surgeon's hands, Maddy shares a story about a prison visit, and Mack looks up some AO3 statistics. We also have many questions about paper charting in a hospital, get weirdly proud of being Irish during St. Patrick's Day parade scenes, compare our rating systems, and talk about Batman yet again. Listen to hear more about hospital rollerblading, fridging, trenchcoats, hair dye techniques, and Harrison Ford's powerful finger. Enjoy!TW: Discussion of limb difference, wrongful convictions, death row, issues with prison and department of corrections Show Notes: “Fridging Women”: How the Comics Industry Flubs Female Characters by Emma SauerWhat is “Fridging” in Fiction Writing? by Fija Callaghan“Stuffed Into The Fridge” on TV Tropes

"Women in Refrigerators": Understanding Fridging in Superhero MediaIn this eye-opening episode of Superhero Ethics, hosts Matthew and Riki tackle the controversial topic of "fridging" with special guest Jessica Plummer, a comic book historian with expertise in gender representation. The term "fridging," coined by comic writer Gail Simone in 1999, refers to the killing, maiming, or assault of female characters primarily to advance a male character's storyline.What exactly is fridging and where did the term come from?The term "women in refrigerators" originated from a 1994 Green Lantern issue where Kyle Rayner's girlfriend Alexandra DeWitt was murdered and stuffed in a refrigerator by villain Major Force. This served solely to motivate Kyle's character development and revenge arc. The podcast explores how this pattern repeats across comics, films, and TV shows, with female characters frequently introduced only to be brutalized for male character development.Why is fridging problematic beyond just character death?The discussion highlights how fridging isn't just about women dying - it's about the specific ways their bodies are violated and displayed, often in sexualized or gratuitously violent ways. The hosts examine how female characters are disproportionately subjected to these fates compared to male characters, despite already being underrepresented in superhero media to begin with.How does fridging differ from other character deaths?The podcast examines the key differences between fridging and other character deaths. Male characters often die heroically in battle with "noble sacrifices" and frequently return from death, while female characters are more commonly assaulted in domestic settings like kitchens, portrayed as helpless victims rather than heroes making choices, and rarely return from death.What about fridging and race in media?The conversation expands to discuss similar patterns with characters of color, who are often introduced as side characters only to be killed to motivate white protagonists. While the panel debates whether "fridging" should specifically refer to violence against women or could apply more broadly, they agree the core issue is about which characters get to be protagonists versus disposable plot devices.Other topics discussed:The original Green Lantern fridging incident that gave the trope its nameHow Black Widow's death in Avengers: Endgame exhibits elements of fridgingThe repeated visual motif of female character deaths (like Gwen Stacy's fall)Examples of media that subvert fridging expectations, like John Wick and DaredevilHow some characters have "climbed out of the fridge" through character resurrection and reimaginingWriters and creators who have worked to challenge and change this tropeThe relationship between shock value and fridging**************************************************************************This episode is a production of Superhero Ethics, a The Ethical Panda Podcast and part of the TruStory FM Entertainment Podcast Network.

Rerun: Henry Winkler, an accomplished water-skier, had asked the producers of ‘Happy Days' if he could showcase his skills on the sitcom. On 20th September, 1977 his wish came true - in a shark-jumping sequence so absurd it would forever be linked with the irreversible artistic decline of long-running TV series. To ‘Jump the Shark' was a phrase coined some eight years later by college roommates Sean Connolly and Jon Hein, and has since inspired other pop culture idioms including ‘growing the beard' (a TV show that gets better with age) and ‘nuking the fridge' (a ‘jump the shark' for movie franchises, named after Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull). In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly reveal Winkler's star power as the top turn on Happy Days, and explain why Robin Williams' appearance in the show *wasn't* a dream. Do they say ‘eeeeeeeeeeey' a lot? Exactamundo!

RIP to a (arguably the only) real one. For ch. 36–38, we talk about how Perrin Is a Mary Sue; we accompany Egg to a Work Meeting; someone floats on the ceiling Mary Winchester-Style; and we discuss the fantasy Ethics of Killing.  

Regular listeners of the show will already know that very few tropes and writing trends are actually new. All of them have come from somewhere and often those origins are surprising. The fridging trope is one that bears a justifiable amount of scorn but it's also one that exists for a reason and has a shockingly long pedigree. This week, Jules and Madeleine travel back to the earliest recorded origins of this trope, before looking at why it exists and how to take the necessary elements of it and use it in your own work in a way that isn't problematic. From Ancient Greece to World War II, from Early Medieval Wales to the Arthurian Cycle, the dragons take a tour through time and storytelling.    Title music: Ecstasy by Smiling Cynic

We essentially knock two movies off our Merry Marvel Movie March when we review "Deadpool 2" and "Once Upon a Deadpool". There's enough difference here to warrant separate consideration for each film, but is one really better than the other? There are a LOT of characters, but which is our favorite? And as usual, Fred Savage takes the wind out of Adam's sails.

This week, it’s one of Sarah’s favorites, and by an author Jen has never read! Lorraine Heath is a master of the historical, and this one is near-perfect. It’s complex and nuanced and it has an infidelity plot and THERE IS SO MUCH ANGST!We love having you with us! — subscribe on your favorite podcasting platform and like/review the podcast if you’re so inclined!In two weeks, we’re reading the Queen of Dirty Talk! Sarah and Jen both love Tessa Bailey — so we’ll be talking about our two favorites of her books, Asking for Trouble (Sarah’s) and Protecting What’s His (Jen’s). Find them at: Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Apple Books, or Kobo.Show Notes- Turns out Sarah and Jen aren't the only people who think these Apple keyboards are trash--after winning a 2020 Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay, Taika Waititi had quite a bit to say on the subject.- Tom Beer is one of Jen's editors at Kirkus, and you should follow him on Twitter.- You can read The Smith College Sophian on line, and we'll link to the interview with Sarah onces it goes live.- We have Leslie Knope from Parks & Recreation to thank for the glory that is Galentine's Day. Read Jen's column about some books that celebrate women's friendship.- A few years ago during #RomBkLove, Shantastic/@bardsong wrote a great piece about disability in romance. You can also check out the blog, Sense and Disability by @Callalily.- Kate Reading is an amazing audiobook narrator, she's the one who narrates Lord of Scoundrels.- Fridging is a word from comics that is when women characters are killed to motivate a male character, but can be used to describe any time a less powerful or privileged character is used as a plot device. Flat Stanley is a character in children's books, but flat characters you might remember from English class.- Harry and Meghan are still taking money from the Duchy of Cornwall.- Jen said she was going to go back and read the other books in the trilogy, and they are bundled together on Amazon for $10.- The Bechdel Test is a pretty simple way of judging how inclusive movies are of women characters; it's limited but powerful. Jen wrote about external and internal conflict in romance, but we also talked about it on the Priest episode -- and we are always unpacking the way conflict works in romance.- Dialogue tags get a bad rap, famously Elmore Leonard claimed that writers should only use "said" and "asked." In this part of the discussion, Sarah mentioned her friend Barry Lyga, a YA author.- Jen thinks these three are codependent.- Cheating is the third rail of romance. It is. There are some lists on Goodreads of romances that have cheating, but it's complicated and difficult. One Jen read recently was I Want You Back by Lorelei James, but the cheating happened in the past. If you're interested in reading another book about someone who discovers the other family, Jen recommends Silver Sparrow by Tayari Jones.- Next time, we'll be reading Tessa Bailey, The Queen of Dirty Talk. Sarah's choice is Asking for Trouble, and a secondary text is the first one of that same series, Protecting What's His.- Buy stickers and buttons from Kelly and t-shirts from Jordan.- We are experimenting with some voice to text transcripts, so here's the first one for this episode.

This week the Fife Friends take on the controversial topics in a controversy special. They start with discussing the Capitalisation of Activism with news of Nike (or is it Nike) sponsoring Ex-NFL star Colin Kaepernick after being kicked out for kneeling during the National Anthem, at the star of games, as a form of protest. Listen in to find out what the friends think about such a hot on trend controversial topic. Continuing with Controversy, the pals all chip in their thoughts on the ongoing trope in fictional media of Fridging, where a woman has to die to give a male protagonist the required oomph and emotional backstory to complete his mission or strike revenge. Listen to where the friends lie on this matter! Then finally they go to the Desert Island of Dicks where they decide who they will send to Brussels to negotiate their very own Dixet from the E.U. Who do they send? Listen in to find out?

Welcome to our second annual Legacyvember, Somebody-Kill-Me-November, Thanks-for-killing-my-favorite-characters-giving extravaganza. This month, we’re talking Green Lantern. In the 90s, Green Lantern went crazy, killed everybody, and was radically re-imagined as another 5’10” white guy with dark hair! So progressive! Plus the origin of the trope “Fridging,” when a female character is brutalized to motivate a male […]

In this episode, Mia and Scott look at how the deaths of women in Star Wars, The Amazing Spider-Man, and Batman: The Killing Joke play into broader trends of female characters dying for male character progression. When are these deaths powerful and justified, and when are they harmful and unnecessary? And do male characters get the same treatment? CW: Rape and sexual abuse.     You can support us on Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/tropewatchers.

In Episode 4, it's back to business as usual as Sarah and Kelly forge onwards in their quest to find meaning, or at least a decent plot, in the Fast and Furious franchise. In a stunning twist, FAST & FURIOUS turns out to be pretty dang watchable, and includes such gems as a real plot, the appearance of Detective Dom, and the debut of fan-favorite Giselle. Also discussed: is Letty's death considered "fridging", or did Michelle Rodriguez just have better sh*t to do?

I should have been crying. The music was telling me that’s what I ought to be doing. And I cry at commercials so it is not usually hard to push the tears button in an emotional moment on a TV show. But I was not crying. I was flailing my arms in fury. My boyfriend looked at me and asked, “What?” I explained that I needed a minute to deal with my rage. It didn’t take him long to work out what had made me so mad. It was (WARNING: SPOILERS for Sherlock Season 4 Episode 1 ahead) not just that they’d killed off one of the only complex female characters in the show to forward the story of the two male leads (a trope that happens so often that it has a name. It’s apparently known as fridging.) It was that in her dying moments she said to her husband, John Watson, “You were my whole world. Being Mary Watson was the only life worth living.” To read more of The Sherlock Fridging go to Songs for the Struggling Artist blog.
