Feminist
Popcorn
Feminist Popcorn is a celebration and growing archive of the greatest films about women.
Every two weeks, podcast hosts and movie-loving best friends,
Samantha Rehr and Elisabeth Frankel, lead a conversation
analyzing three films that share a specific narrative theme.
​
At the end of each episode, the three films covered in the next episode are announced, along with links to their streaming destinations, so that listeners can be a part of the conversation. Listeners are also invited to send in
responses, which may be shared during episodes.
Movies covered must,
at the very least, follow these
two basic criteria :
They must be told from a woman character’s point of view, rather than follow a woman through the lens of a man’s experience of her.
They must feature a woman protagonist, as well as at least one other woman in a leading or supporting role.
