Novelist Allegra Goodman found the name of a marooned French noblewoman in a history book decades ago when she was vacationing with her family off the coast of Canada. The woman’s name was mentioned in passing and Allegra got curious about her life. Years later, Allegra is out now with the brilliant new novel “Isola” based on the real life of a 16th-century noblewoman Marguerite de la Rocque — and it’s February’s pick for Reese’s Book Club. She joins us to talk about her first foray into historical fiction and the moment when she first heard Marguerite’s voice in her head.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

After an amazing five years, the time has come for Strong Female Leads to hang up our capes for the forseeable future.   A combination of professional and personal changes means that availability to record and edit podcasts has become more or less impossible to maintain going forwards in 2023.   We couldn't be more grateful for such a wonderful audience willing to listen to our thoughts on nerd culture from a feminist perspective. And what a few years it's been! Captain Marvel, female Ghostbusters, Jodie Whittaker and so much more (not that we're taking the credit... but we're absolutely taking the credit).   Massive shout out to our Book Club readers (and Krissy!), everyone who chats to us on Twitter and all of our fabulous guests.   It's been a brilliant run. Our archive will remain in all the places you find podcasts and you can find the hosts in all the usual ways (we'll pin this to our Twitter feed as well, @strfemaleleads).   Peace out, nerds.

Jane Austen started writing at age eleven and went on to publish four novels during her lifetime. She created female characters who courageously challenge the caste system, condemn slavery, and long for independence. Her novels have since sold more than one hundred million copies and were adapted into successful feature films and theatrical productions. 

Polish film director Agnieszka Smoczyńska has fascinated audiences with films like The Lure and Fugue. Now, her first English-language film is in theaters. Silent Twins tells the true story of the Gibbons twins, with a style that sets harsh reality and the beauty (and power) of imagination in contrast. So perhaps it's no surprise that stories of fantastic heroines on fanstastic journeys has long enchanted Aga. In this episode, she talks with Jordan about her own work and life, and goes on a whirlwind tour through movies as different as Pippi Longstocking, Three Colors: Blue, The Silence of the Lambs, and Nomadland.  Then, Jordan has one quick thing you'll want to stick around for.***With Jordan Crucchiola and Agnieszka SmoczyńskaBudding cinephiles: Here's a list of movies and filmmakers from today's episode...Pippi Longstocking (1969, 1988)Ponyo (2008)Breathless (1960)Blue (1994)Nomadland (2020)Kill Bill Vol 1/Vol 2 (2003/2004)Only Lovers Left Alive (2013)The Silent Twins (2022)The Lure (2015)Fugue (2018)The Silence of the Lambs  (1991)La Strada (1954)Jackie Brown (1997)Boyhood (2014)Suspiria (2018)Titane (2021)Ingmar BergmanMichelangelo Antonioni

Welcome back Reel Friends! Last week, the category of strong female leads was presented to our hosts, and they were excited to get started. Both Alex and Walker named off some amazing movies with fantastic roles, and eventually landed on Terminator 2: Judgement Day for Linda Hamilton's role as the daring and strong Sarah Connor. "In this sequel set eleven years after "The Terminator," young John Connor (Edward Furlong), the key to civilization's victory over a future robot uprising, is the target of the shape-shifting T-1000 (Robert Patrick), a Terminator sent from the future to kill him. Another Terminator, the revamped T-800 (Arnold Schwarzenegger), has been sent back to protect the boy. As John and his mother (Linda Hamilton) go on the run with the T-800, the boy forms an unexpected bond with the robot."

Jennifer Esposito (Awkwafina is Nora from Queens, Crash, Samantha Who?) is not only a talented actress and New York Times bestselling author (whose passage about carrot cake in her book Jennifer's Way made me cry), but also the screenwriter and future director of the film Fresh Kills. Jennifer discusses the film's exploration of feeling stuck and finding your voice in the context of a mafia movie, a story we never get to see from the women's perspective. This movie is the first to be funded via exclusive NFTs as well as securities and anyone can get involved. Jennifer's eloquence and passion on the subject of diverse filmmaking was a joy and her quest for equality in media and giving people a voice is inspiring. But yes, while listening to this brilliant woman speak about her creative endeavors, I did bring up how much I love The Master of Disguise because I am forever a member of the Turtle Club.  Join the Fresh Kills movement, get an NFT, get on board: www.freshkillsfilm.com Follow Jennifer on Instagram: https://instagram.com/jesposito and Twitter: https://twitter.com/jenniferswayje Follow Fresh Kills Film on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/freshkillsfilm/ and Twitter: https://twitter.com/freshkillsfilm Read Jennifer's book which I adored, Jennifer's Way: https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/jennifer-esposito/jennifers-way/9780738217116/

Nicole Parker (The Neighborhood Listen, Wicked, MADtv) is someone who has me in tears laughing every time I watch or listen to her, and her singing is otherworldly. We discuss fake facial hair, the thrill of seeing a musical, and my favorite podcast neighborhood, Dignity Falls.

Two movies about criminal endeavors careening out of control, steadfast heroines, and toxic masculinity — it's Fargo vs Blonde and Blonder. Listen to my chat with Emmanuelle Vaugier on the latest Strong Female Leads: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/emmanuelle-vaugier-strong-female-leads/id1345840002?i=1000528332300

Emmanuelle Vaugier (Lost Girl, Saw 2, Two and a Half Men) plays my favorite type of villain but is basically a saint. She discusses bringing humanity to the more chaotic characters she plays and what she loves about making Christmas movies along with sharing the very sweet story of adopting one of her dogs.  Emmanuelle has such talent, from her delivery to her physicality to her voice, so I reveled in the chance to discover how she layers such heart into her characters, but we also dove deep on important personal matters, like why only OTHER kids had trampolines growing up.    Emmanuelle on Instagram: www.instagram.com/emmanuellevaugier Emmanuelle on Tik Tok: www.tiktok.com/@emmanuellevaugier Emmanuelle on Twitter: https://twitter.com/evaugier Support The Fluffball Foundation: https://www.thefluffball.com/

Shalita Grant (Search Party, You) is truly America's sweetheart. I learned so much about not just acting, but about life and myself from Shalita, who is so insightful in her self-reflection in addition to being absurdly gifted comedically. Shalita talks about not judging the characters she plays, the importance of collaboration in comedy, and building her haircare brand Four Naturals. I am sorry I brought up Dave & Buster's to a Tony nominee... but not really, because like with everything else Shalita speaks on, she not only made me laugh but also educated me (in this instance on getting what you want!)

Jodi Lyn O'Keefe (She's All That, Prison Break, Hit the Floor) is a dream of a human being who lets me gush about my favorite roles of hers as I mathematically prove she has the best career — from being a guest appearance powerhouse to the perfect kind of campy villain — and she shares the romantic gesture to end all gestures, plus gives me even more reasons to adore Heretic Parfum. This show breaks down at points because I am laughing uncontrollably, what a joy! Follow Jodi on Instagram | Follow Heretic Parfum on Instagram | Visit the Heretic site to fall as in love with their scents as I have

Brooke Smith (Big Sky, The Silence of the Lambs, Grey's Anatomy) becomes my favorite character in every project she joins, and this episode felt like a breezy chat with a close friend. Brooke answered questions about the satisfaction of bringing a character like Merilee to life on Big Sky, her relationship with Darla the dog aka Precious, and I called dibs on hiring her as a therapist should she ever change career paths. Follow Brooke on Instagram and Twitter | Catch up on Big Sky on Hulu or ABC | Watch a trailer for Them coming to Amazon April 9th

Nicole Bilderback (Bring It On, Mercenaries, Brooklyn Nine-Nine) is part of the very fabric of good teen movie making and has continuously graced our screens with laughter and action. We talked lip-synching to the earworm that is Mickey, the similarities between dancing and fighting, and the importance of being informed about the world around you.

Mara Wilson (Matilda, BoJack Horseman) truly feels like a best friend when chatting with her, and can talk about anything with ease and humor. We cover psychological studies, attractive 90s looks, and very specific movie genres in addition to discussing her acting career, her book (which I love) Where Am I Now?

Rachel True (The Craft, Half & Half) is a brilliant actress who imbues her roles with humor and realism, and she's also an incredible author. Her book, True Heart Intuitive Tarot, is a beautiful look at the practice of tarot as well as her own life, and she weaves the two together in a way that makes the book difficult to put down. In this dream of an episode, Rachel breaks down the practical ways you can use tarot, puts a theory about The Craft to bed, and shares some perfect film recommendations, so listen up!

Everything Alexandra Holden is in, she elevates. A comedic delight who is responsible for some iconic characters in my favorite things (Friends, Drop Dead Gorgeous, Rizzoli & Isles), and who is now creating her own sketch comedy on Instagram as half of Out of Luck Show. I loved getting new insight into the dark humor behind her projects as well as discussing the unifying hotness of Bruce Willis.

Jamie Gray Hyder (Law & Order: SVU, COD: Infinite Warfare) took my favorite thing in the world and made it even better when she joined Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. This conversation was a delight, ranging from the direction of the newest season of SVU, to the childhood playtime vibes of portraying a video game character, to the thoughtful ways Jamie engages with social media. She is such a bright light and so funny - enjoy!
