In this, the fourth episode of the updated pod, Beth and Tess will conclude their discussion of “Women Talking,” an Oscar-nominated film that (spoilers) neither of them liked very much.  When they left off, they were discussing the literacy of the characters in the film and how that affects their agency, and whether a gender imbalanced society could ever be free of sexual assault. This week they’ll be talking about the few humorous moments in the film before heading into conclusions and, of course, their hot takes.

Content Warning: this episode contains in-depth discussions of sexual assault and suicide. If you are sensitive to either topic or any related topic, you might want to avoid this one.

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.”
