TFR 20: Lady and the Tramps (w/ Guest Beck Poppins)

Hello and Welcome!

In this very special episode, Austin, Al, and guest Beck Poppins talk Feminism (or lack thereof) in the film industry! A long time in the works, we all three have some strong opinions on how Hollywood, and society in general, would benefit by not being so afraid of girls. From Disney, to superhero films, to comedy and beyond, we let it all out!

Songs:

"Let It Go" from Frozen by Idina Menzel

"The Princess Who Saved Herself" by Jonathan Coulton

Lexi Alexander (Director of Punisher: War Zone) on How Women are Treated in Hollywood
