Hová tűnt/tűnik a szex a hollywoodi filmekből? Főleg: miért nincs orális szex? Mit ad hozzá egy szexjelenet egy filmhez? Milyen egy jó szexjelenet? Csak úgy lehetnek erős nők, hogy a férfiak alárendelten jelennek meg? Mi a különbség a romkom és az akciófilmek között? Mi van most, a #metoo után?

When Working Out Doesn’t Work Out (with Alison Bechdel)
Like many people during lockdown, the Cut host Avery Trufelman thought she’d emerge extremely buff. That this time alone would be a moment to do pushups, or start jogging. But the motivation just wasn’t there. So what does it take to work out? And why do we work out in the ways that we do? These are the questions cartoonist Alison Bechdel seeks to answer in her newest book, The Secret To Superhuman Strength: an autobiography told through decades of workout trends and exercise.

Today we decided to celebrate women, as we should be doing every DAY.

Are they both named? Do they have a conversation about something other than a man?). It seems like an easy test to pass in some of these more modern musical, but take it from us, there ARE some surprises. Within the Bechdel testing, we have a crazy conversation about Hamilton, and realize that the v...

De male gaze is een bekend fenomeen in feministische kritiek dat gebruikt wordt om de weergave van vrouwen in film en andere visuele media te analyseren.

In deze aflevering onderzoeken we hoe dit concept kan worden omgedraaid tot een vrouwelijke blik en wat daar dan de kenmerken van zouden zijn. Te gast is Lieke, recentelijk gepromoveerd mediëvist.
