 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.
