Podcasts about Miranda Bailey

Rule Breakers tells the remarkable true story of how entrepreneur Roya Mahboob fought for girls' education in Afghanistan and formed the country's first competitive robotics team, the Afghan Dreamers.  On this very special Season 3 premiere of CherryPop, Meg welcomes to the podcast, the film's inspiration and executive producer, Roya Mahboob, and stars Nikohl Boosheri and Amber Afzali. Nikohl and Amber start things off by sharing heartfelt memories from the set and remark on their meaningful experience filming and bringing this story to life. Roya joins in, and together, they discuss filmmaking as a powerful tool for change in continuing the fight for girls' education, and the importance of  representing Afghan women in their entirety on screen. “We don't see courage being in the absence of fear. We see that it's having fear and moving forward anyways.” - Nikohl Boosheri “In Hollywood we don't see Afghanistan represented with the dark and the light. We often focus on the dark and we often see women with faceless identities or not being fully dynamic characters on screen. I felt good knowing that I can make my community proud by engaging in this project; I can make my family proud. And most of all, I could look back on the project and be like, this is something that I think is bigger than me.” - Amber Afzali Rule Breakers is out now in theaters!  CherryPicks is the best place to see what women think about movies, tv, and more.

On this episode of CherryPop, Meg welcomes educator, advocate, and author Blair Imani.  “If you're a lonely kid who has to eat lunch at the library, like I did, it just feels like that's gonna be your life forever. So, if someone can tell you a real-life story of somebody who was in that situation and overcame it, it can help you be like, ‘Okay, right now, I'm in my cocoon phase and, one day, I'm gonna bloom and become this beautiful butterfly'.” -Blair Imani The “Smarter in Seconds” creator shares the value of boundaries, personal space, and implanting strategic vulnerability. She also talks about her love for biographies, the fine line between disruption and curiosity, and the power of collaborating and honoring people's time.  “I think one of the biggest things that capitalism and white supremacy culture tell us is that we can't work with our friends. We can't work with our family. And for a lot of folks who are marginalized [...] we don't have the option of not doing that. We don't have all the same opportunities; we have to make things work. And so it's all about having boundaries, all about building trust.” - Blair Imani  Learn more about Blair Imani by visiting her website, joining her on social media @blairimani, and reading her books: Making Our Way Home (2020), Modern HERstory (2018) CherryPicks is the best place to see what women think about movies, tv, and more.

Dark moods, stress, PTSD, anxiety, and trauma almost resulted in former Royal Marine Sam Murray taking his own life.  It can be difficult to comprehend the levels of stress that Royal Marine Commandos must experience during and after their years of service. After hitting rock bottom, Sam embarked upon a difficult journey of self-awakening and personal development after discovering cold water and breathwork to be a life-changing combination. Inspired to help others overcome similar challenges, Sam has since co-founded the Breath Connection with his partner Miranda Bailey, a Nutritional Therapist and Breathwork Practitioner, as they now help others to "unlock the power of the breath to build resilience and reduce their stress. In this episode of the On a Mission podcast, Sam and Miranda discuss how their definition of success has evolved as they have evolved and share practical antidotes to rebalance a stressed mind and body.  Could cold water immersion and breathwork be the key to unlocking the potential we all have within us? KEY TAKEAWAYS Most trauma has the devastating effect it does, because it triggers a memory or feeling from childhood that has yet to be addressed and resolved. We all know the answers that can lead us from darkness into the light, but we simply have to find a way of awakening these solutions within ourselves. Breathing, in Sam's case, was the key to unlocking this. Meditation and breath work performed first thing in the morning, can help to set your mind for the rest of the day. Quietening the mind and connecting with something bigger than us is a vital part of showing up effectively. Stress is a huge driver of human endeavour. Society teaches us that stress makes us somehow efficient, but this is not true. We have the power to manage stress through breath work, and should wield it as a power for good - alleviating stress and taking back control of our minds and bodies. BEST MOMENTS 'I had an awakening' 'We need to be prepared to go to war within ourselves' 'I'm really interested in breath work for its capacity to help us manage stress' 'Don't get caught up in your own thoughts and your own BS' VALUABLE RESOURCES On A Mission - https://omny.fm/shows/on-a-mission   The Breath Connection - https://www.thebreathconnection.org The Breath Connection Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thebreathconnection_org/  The Breath Connection Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/TheBreathConnection  Sam's Charity Relay Channel Swim - https://gofund.me/b94a69df  ABOUT THE HOST Not so long ago, life was barely recognisable for Ellie McKay, raising three children under five, battling post-natal depression, facing redundancy and walking into the job centre to claim benefits with a double pram, no confidence, and wracked with insecurities.

On this week's CherryPop episode, Meg welcomes actress and star of Grey's Anatomy, Kelly McCreary. Kelly shares her invaluable experience playing Dr. Maggie Pierce and how the character taught her to embrace her inner nerd. Additionally, she talks about Shonda Rhimes' impact on the industry and sheds light on the precedent set by Shondaland of a supportive and safe work environment. “Shonda's work first impacted me as an actor because it enabled me to envision myself in roles beyond just what I thought would be available to me. [...] Black women have always found a way to carve space out for themselves, but it's been hard fought—hard fought, hard won—and not a ton of opportunity, even when those spaces are made. So what was really exciting about Shonda, and the impact that she had on the industry [and] on casting, was normalization.” - Kelly McCreary  “Raising a human being is work. The mental labor, physical labor, emotional labor, [are] defaulted a lot of times to women because of the patriarchy. Of course, there are lots of great men and dads out there who know how to integrate themselves or want to integrate, but let's be real, there's a fundamental assumption that women do a lot, and to know that would not cost me my job, that the work of being a mom would be unquestioningly supported by my work, is so incredibly valuable.” - Kelly McCreary  CherryPicks is the best place to see what women think about movies, tv, and more.

It really took "The Diary of a Teenage Girl" for me to remember and realize that I don't need a man, that I can make my own decisions, and that they can be good decisions. - Miranda Bailey   How does an Oscar-nominated and Spirit-Award-winning producer, director, music composer, actress, innovative CEO, inspirational mom, wife, and Aquarian Goddess transform the expectations of a woman in a man's world?

This episode is presented by Prime Video. Available now on Prime Video, Harlem is a single-camera comedy following the lives of four best girlfriends from their college days at NYU, as they navigate sex, relationships and chasing their dreams “…When you go through things, it doesn't mean you have to stop being friends, it means that you love each other more, it means that you push into each other more, you're holding each other accountable in love wrong or right.” Meagan Good (Camille) On this two-part episode of CherryPop, our host Meg McCarthy had the immense pleasure of talking to three of the lovely stars of Prime Video's Harlem, Meagan Good, Jerrie Johnson, and Shoniqua Shandai. Together, they discuss the power of sisterhood, their beautiful bond on screen and off, and the importance of seeing healthy examples of womanhood on screen.  Meg is later joined by the multi-talented creator, executive producer, and writer of Harlem, Tracy Oliver, and the series' fabulous and inspiring costume designer, Deirdra E. Govan. Tracy and Deirdra share their collaborative journey creating the show's vibrant world, a world that creates joy, meaning, and pays homage to their love and personal connection to the city of Harlem. “I felt like a lot of people were leaning into black pain and black struggle stories, and I deliberately decided to go against that.

We find ourselves in our own dark twisty place this episode, as we reflect on our own covid experiences and remark at the relatability of the conversation between Addison and Amelia. Grey Slone memorial is full of familar faces and maybe too many storylines.We say a lackluster goodbye to Addison, Jo Wilson delivers a baby, Owen Hunt gets his army on, Megan Hunt brings faruk into hospital, where is Maggie? and Webber gets the help of Meredith Grey and Miranda Bailey to work on his new "Webber Method" for training the interns ( i mean residents).We also have a little moan that Grey's Anatomy will be on hiatus for a couple weeks. Which means the next episode of our season 18 recap won't be until after November 11. But our season 1 recaps will continue.Contact us at email - scalpelsandtequila@gmail.comInstagam - @scalpelsandtequilapodcast@missthayes and @ms_ayla_azureTamzen and  Ayla xHosted by Tamzen Hayes and Ayla AzureGreys Anatomy CreditsCreated by Shona RhimesStarringEllen Pompeo - Meredith GreyChandra Wilson - Miranda BaileyJames Pickens Jr - Richard WebberKevin McKidd - Owen HuntKim Raver - Teddy AltmanKate Walsh - Addison MontgomeryCamilla Luddington - Jo WilsonCaterina Scorcone - Amelia ShepardKelly McCreary - Maggie PierceChris Carmac - Atticus LincolnRichard Flood - Cormac HayesJake Borelli - Levi SchmittAnthony Hill - Winston NduguJaicy Elliot - Taryn HelmAbigale Spencer - Megan HuntScott Speedman - Nick Marsh

On the finale episode of CherryPop S2, Meg is joined by the very talented and insightful actress and filmmaker Caitlin Stasey. You know Caitlin from such shows as Reign (CW) and Bridge and Tunnel (Epix). Meg and Caitlin discuss nudity and simulated sex on screen, along with the double standard that pits women in mainstream film and adult entertainment against one another.  "I think film and TV show us these explosive sexual relationships which are quite hard to maintain or even achieve a lot of the time. You have to remember, when you're watching sex scenes, you're watching the most beautiful version of sex ever [...] the absolute distillation of, like, the sexiest parts of sex.” - Caitlin Stasey Next up, Caitlin and Meg chat with Richa Moorjani, the brilliant star of Never Have I Ever (Netflix), about the representation of Desi women on screen, the importance of the female lens, and her character Kamala's brave choice to put herself first. Watch Richa return as “Kamala” on Season 2 of Never Have I Ever, streaming now on Netflix!    “It's important, especially when showing female sexuality, to be told through a female lens, because that's what gives it authenticity and the sensibility that it needs.” - Richa Moorjani CherryPicks is the best place to see what women think about movies, tv, and more.

Run the World stars Amber Stevens West and Corbin Reid break down the first half of the two-part season finale and touch upon the importance of female friendships, mutual respect in a partnership, and representing all types of female pleasure and sex on screen. “It made me more comfortable [...] to be a part of a show that was going to include intimacy scenes on screen in the most realistic way possible.” - Amber Stevens West  ”Women know what they're experiencing, so it makes sense that, if it's from a woman's gaze, that it's going to be more relatable.” - Corbin Reid  Catch Run the World every Sunday 8:30PM PT/ET across all STARZ platforms.

Joining Meg this week on CherryPop is actress and advocate Lolo Spencer. Lolo is the founder of Sitting Pretty Productions, a platform devoted to showcasing disability lifestyle authentically, and shares the importance of inclusivity in intimacy on screen.  “That's a topic that I've been advocating for since day one when creating content, because it's one never discussed. And it's never discussed in a way that I feel like is empowering or helpful, to the community. It's always this, you know, as we always say, inspiration porn perspective. That doesn't make me want to have sex! So this isn't what I'm making. If this doesn't make me want to have sex, nobody's gonna want to have sex with me if this is how we're talking about it.” -Lolo Spencer Lolo and Meg also break down the emotionally intimate and impactful moments in Lolo's 2019 film Give Me Liberty, for which she was nominated for a Spirit Award for her outstanding performance.

They also chat about representation of Muslim women on screen and the importance of the film Farah Goes Bang, in which Nikohl plays Farah, a twenty-something-year-old woman who has yet to lose her virginity.  “In the past, we've always seen Muslim women and Middle Eastern women portrayed under the control of a man, a victim, not having any autonomy [...] submissive in some way. In the first episode, Adena says, ‘I'm a proud Muslim lesbian,' so I was like, wow, this is a woman who is in the driver's seat of her own life, and she's not afraid to rewrite stereotypes or challenge stereotypes.” - Nikohl Boosheri CherryPicks is the best place to see what women think about movies, tv, and more.

Und noch mehr Gefühle hat sie für die Serie "Grey's Anatomy". Die siebzehnte Staffel geht an den Start und Anna hat mit Herzklopfen Chandra Wilson aka Dr. Miranda Bailey interviewt. Ob das noch Liebe oder schon Besessenheit bei Anna ist? Die Diagnose stellt ihr am besten selbst.

We discuss the pilot of Grey's Anatomy, from Sandra Oh's face journeys, to why we don't watch medical shows, to how George got through medical school.Find us on Twitter: @inmyqueuepod • @adinaterrific • @karaaa_powell or send comments, questions, and show suggestions to us at itsinmyqueuepod@gmail.com!

They certainly don't know what to do with a woman over 50 who is sexy, who's comfortable with her desire, who also has children and doesn't see that as a contradiction.” -Beandrea July This week is the finale of the first season of CherryPop—what a fun ride it’s been!  Beandrea curates some of her favorite films about the lives of women of a certain age. We discuss the limitations of the “Madonna-Whore” binary (F-U Freud!) and how films have kept 50+ women in boxes and how they have also set them free. Beandrea also tells a BTS story about how a story she wrote for The New York Times “The Year Women Over 50 Reclaimed Their Right to Be Seen coincidently assisted a big Hollywood producer in getting investors.   Then we talk to the legendary actor, podcast host and producer Garcelle Beauvais (The Jamie Foxx Show, Coming to America, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills) about her new podcast Going to Bed with Garcelle, which takes a candid look at sex alongside her girlfriends and celeb guests. She also gets real about her 30+ year career in Hollywood and the difference between intimacy scenes then and now. And she reveals her secret to longevity in the entertainment industry. Interview starts at 49:00 Movies & Television Waiting to Exhale  This drama about four women (Angela Bassett, Loretta Devine, Whitney Houston, Lela Rochon) in Phoenix looking for love was a huge box office success when it hit theaters in 1995. (You’ve probably seen that gif of Bassett setting a fancy car on fire in her lingerie…Yeah that’s from this movie.) Adapted from a novel of the same name from Terry McMillan, the film was directed by Forest Whitaker. We discuss how the pic nails what bad sex looks like in excrutiating detail and get curious about who we are allowed to see in actual sex scenes and who we don’t.  How Stella Got Her Groove Back  From a screenplay co-written by Terry McMillan also adapted from another one of her novels, Stella’s (Angela Bassett) story of finding love with a man half her age during her Jamaican vacation was a big hit—on the bookshelves and at the box office. We gush over how good the shower sex scene is in this movie (Hello Taye Diggs!) and how well it depicts the mundane and the ecstatic of romantic relationships. We also cannot stop talking about how good Queen Angela is at her craft. Like how has she been this good for so damn long?! It's Complicated Nancy Meyers’ hit rom-com about an empty nester mother (Meryl Streep) and her ex-husband (Alec Baldwin) is a funny and well-crafted story about the possibilities for women of a certain age. We talk about Hollywood’s fear of a real woman’s aging body and how much of a relief it is NOT to be 20 years old anymore. And of course you won’t want to miss those posh Nancy Meyers kitchens that film Twitter is always gushing over.  Book Club Directed by Bill Holderman with a script co-written by Erin Simms, Book Club is the story of what happens when four friends of a certain age (Jane Fonda, Diane Keaton, Mary Steenburgen, Candice Bergen) get inspired by the steamy scenes in the novel Fifty Shades of Grey. We talk about Keaton’s androgyny, spanks humor, and why mothers shouldn’t have to wait until their kids are grown to have great sex. Late Night Late Night stars Emma Thompson as Katherine Newbury, a successful late night talk show host and comedian who has hit a fork in the road in her career. Written beautifully by Mindy Kaling (who also stars) and directed by Nisha Ganatra, we are truly baffled as to why this movie didn’t get the box office attention it deserved when it debuted post-Sundance in 2019. We discuss the clever role reversal in Kaling’s script that puts Katherine’s sex life front and center. Juanita  The great Alfre Woodard goes on her version of an Eat, Pray, Love journey that takes her far away from home to Montan. There she explores her spirituality and hooks up with a younger man (Adam Beach). We love how fresh this movie and its characters are and revel in how its one sex scene stands out from the rest. Gloria Bell Written and directed by Sebastien Lelio (A Fantastic Woman) Gloria Bell stars Julianne Moore as an empty nester mom with a passion for the dancefloor. This critical favorite from 2019 is an absolute delight that we can watch again and again. We discuss how hard it is to make MILF Extraordinaire Moore look “frumpy” and swoon over the aspirational lovemaking on display. Frankie  This criminally under-rated gem of an indie premiered at the 2019 Toronto International Film Festival. Directed by Ira Sachs who co-writes the screenplay with Mauricio Zacharias, the film stars the fabuleuse Isabelle Huppert (Her) as Frankie. Frankie convenes her extended family on a vacation in a quaint Spanish town in the mountains. We discuss the unfair critical reception to the film and how good it feels to be skin to skin with the one you love.  Otherhood Three friends (Angela Bassett, Felicity Huffman, Patricia Arquette) take an impromptu trip to New York City to reconnect with their adult sons on Mother’s Day in this Netflix hit directed and co-written by Cindy Shupack (Sex and the City). We discuss the politics of getting this and other movies like it made in an industry that prizes youth above all else and why that makes bad financial sense.  The Interview  This week, we have a great chat with veteran Hollywood actress Garcelle Beauvais. She got her start as a model as a teenager and from there transitioned into acting. Her first role was in one of the most well-known comedies of the 1990s: Eddie Murphy’s Coming to America. Over her more than 30 year career, she has acted in film and television including The Jamie Foxx Show and the upcoming reboot of Coming to America from writer Kenya Barris. We discuss how the industry has evolved when it comes to shooting intimate sex scenes (and how it hasn’t) and the importance of not letting people pigeonhole you into one thing. And you won’t want to miss her dishing about her steamy new podcast Going to Bed with Garcelle, which was just renewed for a second season by MGM. Credits CherryPop is presented by CherryPicks.

“[Leti in ‘Lovecraft Country’] is such an excellent example of society equating a woman’s sexual confidence with her sexual experience and labeling women who take ownership over their bodies as easy or slutty.” -Meg McCarthy This week, we explore the meaning and the myth of virginity in film and television as it relates to women coming of age. Meg draws upon the work of the groundbreaking expert on adolescent sexuality, Peggy Orenstein. “I'd rather people think of sex more horizontally [ …] as a way to explore intimacy and pleasure than as this misguided vertical race to a goal,” writes Orenstein in her book, Girls & Sex: Navigating the Complicated New Landscape. In other words: it’s “first times” (plural) and there’s no cookie cutter experience that applies to everyone.  Then we talk to the super talented actor/writer/director Sujata Day (Misadventures of an Awkward Black Girl, Insecure) about her excellent feature directorial debut Definition Please. It was an official selection at the 2020 Bentonville Film Festival in the Feature Narrative Competition and has been having a great run on the (virtual) film festival circuit ever since its August 2020 premiere. We also uncover the real-life story of the shocking birds and the bees “talk” Day received from her mother as a teen. Check out Beandrea’s review of Definition Please for The Hollywood Reporter. Movies & Television Little Darlings This 1980s classic set the tone for a host of other movies like it to come in future decades about how adolescent girls define virginity. For Angel (Kristy McNichol) and Ferris (Tatum O’Neal) it’s a competition, a really big deal, and not what either girl thinks it will be. I Believe in Unicorns The Film Fatales Founder and writer/director Leah Meyerhoff debuted her film I Love Unicorns at the Tribeca Film Festival. Meyerhoff uses a blend of magical realism and stop-motion animation to take us inside the imaginative world of Davina (Natalia Dyer - a previous podcast guest from Episode 1!) as she begins a tumultuous relationship with an older guy. Here, we get to see a darker side of what it means to have sex with a man for the first time as a young woman whose inner world is quite different than the world around her. Lady Bird We discuss how Greta Gerwig’s instant classic pushes the boundaries of the stories we’re used to seeing about the first sexual experiences of teen girls. Of course, that includes a brief chat about Timothée Chalamet as well.  Farah Goes Bang With the fraught 2020 election now in the rearview, it’s refreshing to watch this “on the road” movie about three friends who spend the summer campaigning for John Kerry’s 2004 presidential campaign. Co-writer/director Meera Menon adds a funny, moving, and much-needed spin on the genre of virginity movies by exploring what it means to make a conscious choice when it comes to sex. Blockers Director Kay Cannon’s teen sex comedy could be seen as Little Darlings 2.0, as it’s another pact that three friends make to have sex on their prom night. The twist here is that their parents find out about it and try to thwart their plans. We discuss what reviews of the film got wrong (we’re looking at you LA Times) and celebrate the queer storyline of one of the main characters. Normal People (S1, Episode 2) With full-frontal nudity and unabashed passion, Normal People is not a typical story about teenagers coming of age and falling in love. We take a closer look at the second episode of the series and ask about how much is too much when it comes to believability in sex scenes and why it made us appreciate romance novels more.  Lovecraft Country (S1, Episodes 3 & 6) Lovecraft Country from creator and showrunner Misha Greene is our absolute jam! We chat about the episodes “Holy Ghost”  and “Meet Me in Daegu” and just how good this show is at crafting sex scenes that help us better understand the characters and make the show such a thrill to watch. We also have a short callback to CherryPop Episode 4 with HBOs intimacy coordinator Alicia Rodis, who worked with the actors and crew on the “Meet Me in Daegu” episode.

This week, we take you behind the scenes for a look at what it really takes to capture intimacy scenes for the big and small screen. Spoiler alert: it’s definitely not what you think.   Meet the Intimacy Coordinators Revolutionizing Hollywood featuring Bel Powley We kick things off with a personal story from co-host Meg McCarthy, who is also an NYU Tisch-trained actor. (She doesn’t like to brag but we do!) Meg gives us a firsthand account of what shooting her first sex scene was like on the set of the indie Save the Date, directed by Michael Mohan, which went to Sundance in 2012.  Special Deep Dive: What is Intimacy Coordination and Why Does it Matter? One of the most heartening and innovative phenomena happening in our currently unfolding TimesUp era is the field of intimacy coordination. These coordinators are responsible for making film and television show sets safe for performers when it comes to the intimate work they do to play their characters. Think about it: we don’t expect actors to actually get shot or stabbed in action scenes, which is why there are stunt coordinators and stunt people, but it’s only been in recent years that similar protection and support has been applied to the performance of intimacy.  We talk with two of the women helping lead the intimacy revolution in Hollywood:  Alicia Rodis, the intimacy coordinator for HBO, who was first hired by the network to work on the Maggie Gyllenhaal drama The Deuce and now oversees this work for all of HBO’s programming.  “You have to name that norm that's been there before you can work against it. And it's the same thing with creating better sex scenes. The patriarchal thing--then you’re aware of it, before you can turn it on its head.” - Alicia Rodis, Intimacy Coordinator for HBO Studios And we chat with Amanda Blumenthal, who coordinated the intimate scenes on the first season of another HBO show, Euphoria, the edgy, teen coming-of-age drama that has been renewed for a second season. “HBO [is] the only studio that requires intimacy coordinators on all of their projects. And it's actually something they've required for a little over two years now. So they were at the forefront of this whole movement [...] I totally thought more were going to go for it after HBO but it hasn't happened yet. But until they decide to do it I think a lot of this is going to start with performers.” - Amanda Blumenthal, Intimacy Coordinator Movies & Television Save the Date (2012) Meg’s intimate scene debut! You’ll have to watch the movie to see it… Diary of a Teenage Girl (2015) Bel Powley was 21 years old when she played the 15-year-old Minnie, a teenager growing up in 1970s San Francisco who is eager to lose her virginity. The Morning Show (2019) Claire (Bel Powley) and Yanko’s (Néstor Carbonell) relationship is an example of what it looks like when consenting adults—who don’t have professional power over one another—find love at work during the #MeToo era.  The Interview  “There's something about teenage girls that really scares like the patriarchy. Society wants to pretend they don't exist. And that's why Diary of a Teenage Girl was such a huge moment [...] They are growing little women with all these feelings exploding out of them and we need to talk about it. “ - Bel Powley This week, we chat with the lovely and talented British actress Bel Powley. She has played a variety of American roles in movies including the Apple+ Drama The Morning Show, King of Staten Island, White Boy Rick, and her breakout film role Diary of a Teenage Girl. She talks about the silence around sexuality she felt as a teenager growing up in London and the role earnest men can play in the #MeToo movement. Powley discusses her character Claire’s sex scene with Yanko (Néstor Carbonell) that got left on the cutting room floor of The Morning Show editing suite. Plus, we all agree on the greatness of Marielle Heller, writer, director, and actor (check her out in The Queen’s Gambit) who directed Powley in Diary of a Teenage Girl.   Credits CherryPop is presented by CherryPicks.

S1 E3: Queer Women are the OGs of the Intimate Sex Scene, with Quinn Shephard This week, we talk through some of Beandrea’s favorite queer films from the last 20 years and give a shout-out the filmmakers behind them. We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: queer women have been leading the charge when it comes to nuanced depictions of female pleasure on screen for a long time. And they’ve been doing it on a budget! We look back at some early lesbian movies that take on coming out and look at more recent depictions that focus on teens who know who they are and accept themselves from page one. The Movies:   But I’m a Cheerleader (2000) We start our queer cinema journey with longtime episodic director Jamie Babbitt’s satirical teen sex comedy, But I’m a Cheerleader, about a gay conversion therapy camp called “True Directions.” It is a bonafide cult classic. A young Natasha Lyonne plays Megan, an enthusiastic cheerleader who is forced to reconcile with the fact that she’s a lesbian as she falls in love with Graham (Clea Duvall) under the scrutiny of a harsh headmaster (Cathy Moriarty) and “ex-gay” Mike (RuPaul Charles). We dig into the humor, the MPAA rating bias, the failure of white men to get the movie, and celebrate how well the groundbreaking indie holds up in the light of 2020. The Twentieth Anniversary Director’s Cut re-release comes out on December 8, 2020.   The Incredibly True Adventures of Two Girls in Love (1995, 2005) Next up is a micro-budget Sundance indie from writer-director Maria Maggenti. Despite their completely different backgrounds, Randy (Laurel Holloman aka Tina from the original L-Word) and straight girl Evie (Nicole Arie Parker) fall in love. We discuss how Maggenti expertly navigated onscreen intimacy in an era when queerness wasn’t yet mainstream. The film was re-released in 2005 on its 10-year anniversary. Pariah (2011) Then we take a closer look at the Sundance debut of Pariah from writer-director Dee Rees (Mudbound, Bessie, The Last Thing He Wanted). Sadly, it’s still one of only a handful of movies with a Black queer woman at the center, but thankfully it’s become a recent classic in queer storytelling. Our mama bear energy comes out in full force to protect the film’s heroine Alike (Adepero Oduye) when her sensitive poet soul is threatened by a would-be high school romance. We also love Alike’s best friendship with Laura (Pernell Walker) and celebrate platonic intimacy between queer women.    The Miseducation of Cameron Post (2018) Nearly twenty years after But I’m a Cheerleader, director and co-writer Desiree Akhavan also takes on teen gay conversion therapy. But this time it’s a poignant drama that forces us to confront a hard truth: more than half of states in this country still allow this damaging practice. We discuss the trance-like sex scene between Cameron (Chloë Grace Moretz) and Coley (Quinn Shephard, also this week’s interview!) and how f-ckin sexy it is for a woman to say what she wants and get it.      Booksmart (2019) This high school comedy starring Beanie Feldstein (Molly) and Kaitlyn Dever (Amy) is one of the funniest teen comedies we’ve ever seen. Directed by Olivia Wilde, we geek out over its stellar pro-masturbation stance and the ways it celebrates queer teens without making too big a deal out of it. Make sure you watch the movie so you can howl at how worn out that panda looks!       The Half of It (2020) Alice Wu has made two fantastic features, Saving Face (2004) and The Half of It (2020), and we have decided that we want many more movies from her. In her latest, we follow Ellie Chu (Leah Lewis) as her poetic writing skills get her caught between her would-be friend Paul and the girl they both have a crush on: Aster. We agree 100% about the necessity of taking a dip in hot springs and how sometimes sexual tension is just as impactful as a steamy bedroom scene.    Also check out: The 200 Best Lesbian Queer and Bisexual Movies of All Time (Autostraddle.com June 2020) The Watermelon Woman (Cheryl Dunye) Saving Face (Alice Wu) Rafiki (Wanuri Kahiu) Kajillionaire (Miranda July) The Interview  We are obsessed with actress, writer, and director Quinn Shephard! In our lively and thoughtful chat with her this week, we discuss: the oversexualisation of girls, how she approaches feminine, masculine, and nonbinary gazes in Blame, her 2017 debut feature as a writer-director, and her experience being directed by Desiree Akhivan in The Miseducation of Cameron Post. Shepherd also tells a personal story about the toxic culture of sexual abuse that actresses have to deal with in their work. Time really is up. Follow Quinn’s work @quinnshephardofficial.

Crowning the Queen of the Intimate Sex Scene: Gina Prince-Bythewood featuring Sasheer Zamata   Show notes - https://bit.ly/2FIgSdC   This week, Meg guides us through some of her favorite sex scenes from the last 20 years and shouts-out the filmmakers behind them. Even though the characters and stories are diverse in these flicks, we end up realizing they have much more in common than we initially noticed. The common denominator among the filmmakers: taking the time to research and rewrite when putting together a movie that features real intimacy and onscreen character development.   The Movies   Love and Basketball (2000) At the top of the list is writer-director Gina Prince-Bythewood, whom we crown “Queen of the Intimate Sex Scene.” We dig into the groundbreaking, boundary-pushing bedroom scenes in her films Love and Basketball and Beyond the Lights. Love and Basketball follows Monica (Sanaa Lathan) and Quincy (Omar Epps), childhood besties whose undying love for basketball causes their own love to bloom.    Beyond the Lights (2014)   In Beyond the Lights, Gugu Mbatha-Raw plays Noni, a Rihanna-adjacent pop star who is saved by Kaz (pre-#MeToo Nate Parker), an earnest cop who couldn’t be farther from her world and, of course, they fall in love.   If Beale Street Could Talk (2018)   Then Meg and Beandrea take a closer look at the sex scenes in If Beale Street Could Talk from Academy Award-winner Barry Jenkins, who directed and wrote the pic. Here’s another set of childhood friends whose love matures as they get older. Fonny (Stephan James) and Tish (Kiki Layne) are goals!   Lingua Franca (2020)   Then we take up the auteur film Lingua Franca from indie writer-director-star Isabel Sandoval. Sandoval plays an undocumented trans woman who works as a live-in caretaker for an elderly woman (Lynn Cohen - RIP legend!) and gets involved with her grandson. We love that this movie is about a character who is a trans woman (and is played by a trans woman who also made the movie) and, most importantly, that the story isn’t about gender transition. Trans folks contain multitudes, people!    Atonement (2008)   And last, but definitely not least: the BAFTA and Golden Globe-winning film Atonement, directed by Joe Wright with a screenplay from Christopher Hampton. Meg swoons over the subtleties of the acting performances, the direction, and of course, that stunning green gown. (Also: Beandrea realizes that Saoirse Ronan has been acting since she was a wee little one. Check out CherryPicks’ tribute to Saoirse here!)   The Interview Sasheer Zamata in WOKE. Courtesy of Hulu. For our interview this week, we chat with the delightful Sasheer Zamata who appears in the Hulu series Woke. We dig into what it was like playing a leading lady for the first time in the Stella Meghie indie film The Weekend (2018), what it was like doing bedroom scenes, and just how amazing “WAP” (and Cardi B’s insta) are. She also reminds us that the 1995 film Waiting To Exhale is one to keep coming back to again and again.   Credits   CherryPop is presented by CherryPicks.

The new film, BEING FRANK takes us back to 1992 where a young man named Philip is in the throes of teen angst. His dreams are dashed when his overbearing father, Frank, played by Jim Gaffigan, forbids his son from venturing out on his own. But Frank's anger at rebellion is hypocritcal since Frank is out here doing dirty his own self. The film's director, Miranda Bailey, and the titular Frank: Jim Gaffigan joined Jill in the studio to talk about the film that out in theaters now.

The cliche of the middle-aged dad with a secret second family is a well-worn one, but one that the indie comedy Being Frank attempts to complicate in some fascinating ways. When Phillip (Logan Miller) discovers that his dad Frank (Jim Gaffigan) has a whole other family across the country - one he seems to get along with better than his own - it sets in motion a series of farcical scenarios that require the two to keep Frank's secrets alive.   While it falls into a lot of the goofy indie-movie trappings that plague this particular genre, Gaffigan's unexpectedly vulnerable performance and the taut direction of documentarian Miranda Bailey (making her narrative feature debut) help elevate Being Frank beyond its auspices.   In this episode, I spoke with Gaffigan and Bailey (respectively) about Being Frank's unique challenges and myriad tones, as part of a roundtable interview with HollywoodChicago.com's Pat McDonald and Kicking the Seat's Ian Simmons. Together, we discuss Gaffigan's role choices, Bailey's transition from documentaries to scripted film, and the rocky road to getting Being Frank on the big screen.

Stuck with no communication after losing her radio and with orders to guard the site, Wendy must fight the urge to run and do the harder job of staying put — spending the night deep in the wilderness, facing down her worst fears and proving to everyone - including herself - that she’s made of stronger stuff than they think she is.

Miranda Bailey and Face2Face host David Peck talk about her new film The Pathological Optimist, truth versus fiction, culpability and the media, hero worship, the Anti-Vax movement, family life and why she’s sometimes not so hopeful. Biography Miranda's first cinematic directorial debut was GREENLIT, a comedic documentary looking at the inherent hypocrisies surrounding Hollywood when trying to "green" a film set which debuted at SXSW in 2010. IFC International and Virgil Films picked it up for distribution. Since then, she directed the award winning narrative short ANOTHER HAPPY ANNIVERSARY which after a successful festival run premiered on Shorts TV and is hosted at Jill Soloway's website Wifey. TV promoting female film makers. Miranda also shot and directed The Behind the Scenes of James Gunn's SUPER and an episode of the web TV series FIRSTS. Miranda's second documentary feature, THE PATHOLOGICAL OPTIMIST, is an intimate portrait of the controversial and discredited Dr. Andrew Wakefield. The documentary premiered on April 20, 2017 at the Manhattan Film Festival as the opening night film and won Best Documentary Feature. It played at the 2017 Downtown LA Film Festival and Bailey won Best Director - Documentary Feature. The film opened in theaters September 2017. Over the last 14 years, Miranda Bailey has produced over 20 films including the Oscar nominated THE SQUID AND THE WHALE, James Gunn's SUPER and the Gotham Award Award-winning THE DIARY OF A TEENAGE GIRL. Miranda has been nominated twice for the Best First Feature Spirit Award - once in 2017 for Swiss Army Man and once in 2016 for The Diary of a Teenage Girl which she won. As the CEO of Cold Iron Pictures, Miranda recently produced 2016 Sundance U.S. Dramatic Directing Award-winner SWISS ARMY MAN starring Daniel Radcliffe and Paul Dano, Oscar nominated director Joseph Ceder's first English language film NORMAN: THE MODERATE RISE AND TRAGIC FALL OF A NEW YORK FIXER, starring Richard Gere, Michael Sheen, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Dan Stevens, Steve Buscemi and Josh Charles, and Mike Birbiglia's DON'T THINK TWICE, starring Keegan-Michael Key, Gillian Jacobs, Birbiglia, Kate Micucci, Tami Sagher and Chris Gethard. Bailey starred in and produced many other films in a variety of genres including the cult hit DEAD & BREAKFAST, with Jeremy Sisto, Portia de Rossi, and Jeffrey Dean Morgan; the comedy THE OH IN OHIO, with Paul Rudd, Danny DeVito, and Parker Posey; WONDERFUL WORLD, starring Matthew Broderick; AGAINST THE CURRENT, starring Joseph Fiennes and Mary Tyler Moore; SUPER, starring Rainn Wilson and Ellen Page; EVERY DAY, starring Liev Schreiber and Helen Hunt; the 3D horror film HELLBENDERS; the documentary SPINNING PLATES, which was released by her distribution company The Film Arcade, which she cofounded in 2012. Synopsis Who is the man behind the most highly controversial, intensely debated topics in modern medicine? In The Pathological Optimist, director Miranda Bailey brings us a character study of Dr. Andrew Wakefield, one of 13 co-authors of a notorious 1998 paper in the UK medical Journal The Lancet, but who became the very public face of what has come to be known as “The Anti-Vax Movement.” An expat from Britain who currently resides in Austin, Texas, Wakefield allowed Bailey and her team to follow him and his family for five years beginning in 2011 as he fought a defamation battle in the courts against the British Medical Journal and journalist Brian Deer. The results of that case – and the self-reflection, pronouncements, and observations of Wakefield, his legal team, wife, and his children – create a complex and incisive look at one of our era’s most fear-provoking and continuously provocative figures. The Pathological Optimist takes no sides, instead letting Wakefield and the battles he fought speak for themselves.

THE PATHOLOGICAL OPTIMIST OPENS THEATRICAL ON SEPTEMBER 29 & VOD ON NOVEMBER 14TH Who is the man behind the most highly controversial, intensely debated topics in modern medicine? In THE PATHOLOGICAL OPTIMIST, director Miranda Bailey brings us a character study of Dr. Andrew Wakefield, who was one of 13 co-authors of the notorious 1998 UK medical journal's, The Lancet. Wakefield became the very public face of what has come to be known as, "The Anti-Vaxx Movement." An expat from Brittan who currently resides in Austin, Texas, Wakefield allowed Bailey and her team to follow him and his family for five years, beginning in 2011, as he fought a defamation battle in the courts against the British Medical Journal and journalist Brian Deer. The results of that case–and the self-reflection, pronouncements, and observations of Wakefield, his legal team, wife, and his children–created a complex and incisive look at one of our era's most fear-provoking and continuingly provocative movements. THE PATHOLOGICAL OPTIMIST takes no sides on vaccinations or this trial, but instead, lets Wakefield and the battles he fought speak for themselves. The Film Arcade & Gravitas Ventures will release Miranda Bailey's documentary THE PATHOLOGICAL OPTIMIST. The film will be released theatrically by The Film Arcade on September 29th followed by a VOD release via Gravitas on November 14th. Prolific producer, actor, and director, Miranda Bailey, is known for producing high-quality independent films.

THE PATHOLOGICAL OPTIMIST takes no sides, instead letting Wakefield and the battles he fought speak for themselves. Director Miranda Bailey joins us to talk about her riveting portrait of a man driven to prove his detractors wrong. Director’s statement: “I gravitate towards provocative and discussion-making material for most of my films. When I began this journey in 2010, Andrew Wakefield was much less known in the United States than he is now. But those who did know him seemed to have very strong feelings either for or against him. I was curious as to who he was and how he could stand up to such rejection from his peers and such scrutiny in the media regarding his part in the MMR Scandal. As the style of my film evolved, I decided it was not my place to defend Andrew Wakefield, nor was it to condemn him. My interest lies in observance. I asked questions and observed. It is up to the audience to decide what they see. ” For news and updates got to: The Pathological Optimistfilm.com facebook.com/ThePathologicalOptimist

There’s a new feature documentary in town called The Pathological Optimist. It’s about Dr. Andrew Wakefield. You know, the British gastroenterologist who’s credited/blamed with linking vaccines and autism to millions of parents and thereby single-handedly birthing the modern anti-vaccine movement. Yes, that Andrew Wakefield. Andy inspires… hyperbole. Mention his name and it’s likely to provoke a fight. In a 2015 New York Times article: he was alternately described as “one of the most reviled doctors of his generation” and “Nelson Mandela and Jesus Christ rolled into one.”  I mean, Mengele or Mandela… seriously? There’s gotta be more than meets the eye here, right? We live in Tabloid Nation, after all, where paparazzi roam free and no one is immune. Why hasn’t someone been curious enough to take a closer look? Who is Andrew Wakefield really? And he’s a family man? How could any family survive this kind of circus? What do his wife and kids make of all this?    Miranda Bailey is a mom and a smart cookie. She’s a Hollywood actress who’s drawn to great, revelatory stories. Stories that teach us a little bit more about who we are. She also happens to be a very good filmmaker. Miranda wanted to know. She contacted me when she started doing research on the MMR vaccine scandal and we became friends. “Louise, can you introduce me to Andrew?” This was almost 10 years ago. Miranda has been making her “Wakefield doc” for a while now. I don’t want to think about the number of times she rued the day she met me (and Andy).  Like most good things, this movie took time. Miranda spent weeks following Andy all over the country and in Austin, TX with the Wakefield family. The storyline evolved real time multiple times as she filmed and filmed. And edited and edited. It was almost done when Tribeca happened. It’s a testament to her stubbornness.  I saw an early version last year and the final version in April, so I can tell you what you need to know.  No matter how you feel about vaccines or autism or Andrew Wakefield, this film is for you. It’s a character portrait so intimate that you can’t look away. It raises all sorts of questions that you get to ask and answer in the privacy of your own mind because attending this movie is not a statement of anything. Except the virtues of curiosity. And an appreciation for the genre of documentary filmmaking. The Pathological Optimist is not a pro-vaccine take-down or an anti-vaccine anthem. It stands squarely in that narrow sliver of real estate that dares to present an exceptionally controversial person without taking a position. It asks the question — who is this man? — and respects you enough to leave you alone to wrestle with it.  ps. Buy tickets now. It’s going to sell out and you’re going to want to watch. #pathologicaloptimist #liarhealer #monstersavior #TPO #dontmissit  Miranda Bailey is a passionate producer, actor, and director known for bringing a diversity of strong, well-crafted stories to the screen.

Andrew Wakefield MB.BS., is an academic gastroenterologist. He received his medical degree from St. Mary’s Hospital Medical School, London in 1981. He qualified as Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons in 1985 and trained as a gastrointestinal surgeon with a particular interest in inflammatory bowel disease. He was awarded a Wellcome Trust Traveling Fellowship to study small-intestinal transplantation in Toronto. He was made a Fellow of the Royal College of Pathologists in the U.K. in 2001. Wakefield has published over 140 original scientific papers, reviews, and book chapters. In 1995, as an academic physician working in a London teaching hospital, he was contacted by the parent of an autistic child with stomach issues. He soon learned from several other parents with autistic behaviors, that their children’s regressive behavior immediately followed an MMR vaccine. He started investigating a possible role between gastrointestinal issues, the MMR vaccine, and neurological injury in children. In pursuit of this possible link, Dr. Wakefield participated in a study of twelve children with both stomach and developmental issues. The ensuing report, written with twelve other authors would catapult Wakefield into becoming one of the most controversial figures in the history of Medicine. Wakefield has defended the paper, his medical and personal ethics and his findings in his national bestselling book, “Callous Disregard,” as well as in several video interviews. More recently, on appeal, the English High Court overturned the allegations made against the senior authors of the Lancet paper and Wakefield’s colleague Professor John Walker-Smith was reinstated and exonerated. Wakefield is the only one of the 13 co-authors barred from practicing medicine. He lost his country, his career, and his medical license. He considers these losses a small price to pay for the privilege of working with affected families. Since moving to Austin, Texas, he co-founded the Autism Media Channel with Polly Tommey with the goal of countering the pharmaceutical marketing and advertising juggernaut and the biased corporate-owned media with their own media. Together they produced the award-winning documentary, “Who Killed Alex Spourdalkis?,” which was Wakefield’s directorial debut. Wakefield continues to fight back on behalf of affected children, winning numerous awards and has released a second non-fiction book, Waging War on The Autistic Child. This is due to come out in paperback form Skyhorse Publishing with a brand new chapter on the CDC whistleblower story. Wakefield has interviewed with Ed Bradley on 60 Minutes, Matt Lauer at NBC, and on CNN, ABC’s Good Morning America, the BBC, and multiple other networks and radio stations worldwide. He has also published over 140 peer-reviewed scientific publications and spoken internationally on autism and vaccines. His story and his exoneration have been featured in Dr. David Lewis’ book Science for Sale and are the subjects of a feature documentary to be released by Miranda Bailey’s Ambush Entertainment www.vaxxedthemovie.com
