In this show, we chat to fellow Podcaster Em from Verbal Diorama about female superheroes. We discuss the portrayal of female heroes in movies past, present and future. Em in her signature chatty style, regales the team with her views of the TV series, Buffy the Vampire Slayer. She even has some positive thoughts on the much maligned 1992 movie of the same name.
We talk about the role of the incredibly powerful women in the X-Men franchise. Em confesses to watching “Arnie” movies under age and the effect Brigitte Nielsen’s, Red Sonja had on her, growing up.
As this is a show featuring three movie nerds, the conversation sometime veers wildly off topic and we end up discussing Logan and drawing comparisons with Joker. Em gets side tracked by the Iron Giant and Jeff details why he needed three toilet breaks during Captain Marvel. Other topics are the theory that Em’s cat might actually be a Flerken! The correct drink to have before Em discusses Buffy and the only good thing in the Fantastic Four movie?
After many twists and turns we finally get the show back on course and look forward, with optimism, to the female led movies coming out over the next few years.
Thanks Em, for being such a great guest and hope our listeners enjoy the show.
Thanks
