#podcast — Woman Inherits the Earth

Woman Inherits the Earth

“Woman Inherits the Earth” is a mother-daughter podcast primarily about women in film. We will discuss movies directed by women, as well as those in which women characters or the treatment of women is the focus of the story. We may on occasion also examine women in television, both from a creative standpoint - women writers and showrunners - and looking at the stories and characters that showcase women’s lives.

We may talk about production values one minute and stereotypes the next. Many of the issues we will examine are not new to our national dialogue and may involve politics, the workplace, economic and racial disparities, laws, culture, family dynamics, gender roles, and the very nature of how we live our everyday lives. Bias Disclaimer: We bring a feminine, woman-focused, feminist perspective to this discussion.

“Woman Inherits the Earth” is brought to you by the hosts of “Where You Lead,” a podcast about “The Gilmore Girls” that originally aired in 2022-2023 and is still available on Spotify and YouTube (but no new episodes are currently planned).

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.

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.”
