Our guest, the hilarious stand-up and writer Mia Pinchoff, picked perhaps the film people think of when they think of feminist films - “Thelma & Louise.” This was an over-do rewatch for Devin and Andrea, and a first time watch for Mia. This was a lively and engaging conversation about not only our takeaways and impressions of the film, but the massive impact this film still has today. Mia and Andrea are long time friends, and we were so thrilled she joined us to talk about rom-coms, thrillers, about Devin’s dog, about “meat flowers” (which you’ll just have to tune in to see what that is and how we got there) - this was such a fun chat :) Our women in film history highlighted, appropriately, the Geena Davis Institute On Gender In Media and the groundbreaking filmmaker Dorothy Arzner, who, among her many accomplishments, also invented the first boom microphone! Check out Mia’s website miapinchoff.com for upcoming show dates or follow her on instagram @miapinchoff - trust us, go check out her stand-up, this lady is a petite powerhouse of comedy and her shows do not disappoint!
