indie film — 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: Anora

In this, the Anora episode of the pod, Beth and Tess relate Anora to everything from Pretty Woman to Maid in Manhattan to the trad wives of TikTok, including yet another lengthy Oscars discussion, how Anora does and does not compare to The Substance, that oh so prevalent male gaze, and how boring a clubbing montage can be.

Content warning: a lot of adult language and discussion of sex and sex work, and minor violence.

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.”
