Is Amelie the Only Reason You Went to Paris?

Woman Inherits the Earth: Amelie

In this, the Amelie episode of the pod, Beth and Tess discuss the fun of films focused on whimsy and quirk, make a few comparisons to Wes Anderson, lament the lack of films like Amelie for young girls who want something other than only homemaking or corporate ambition for their lives, compare and contrast their own experience of Paris and city life to what is shown in the movie, and spend a lot more time than necessary talking about the absence of the color blue.

Content warning: some mild discussion of onscreen sexuality.

A note about spoilers: As much as we’d love to make this a spoiler-free podcast, the truth is, we can’t really get much of a discussion going without completely spoiling the plot of the film we’re talking about. If you don’t want to be spoiled, watch the movie before you listen to us.

Special thanks to aceinet, who recorded our intro and outro song, “Floyd Filtertron DA Shuffle.”

Woman Inherits the Earth: Gravity

In this, the Gravity episode of the pod, Beth and Tess discuss the artistic work of Alfonso Cuaron and why Gravity is not our favorite of his films, themes of survival and loss in the film, how difficult the film was to make, how it compares to films like The Martian and Children of Men, and our thoughts on the depiction of grief and motherhood.

Is Arrival Even a Science Fiction Movie?

Woman Inherits the Earth: Arrival

In this, the Arrival episode of the pod, Beth and Tess open up the new season with discussions of life and death, what constitutes a science fiction movie, what the ‘speculative fiction’ genre is, why science fiction has the reputation it does, how humanity might change if we no longer had to worry about the future, and where this fits into the ‘first contact’ cannon of stories.

Content warning: discussions of grief and child death.
