Join Kat and A.C. for a discussion of one of their most hotly anticipated movies of 2024, Luca Guadagnino’s CHALLENGERS starring Zendaya, Josh O’Connor, and Mike Faist. The FFR hosts were mixed on their reactions, but both saw opportunities where it could have ascended to greater heights than it ultimately did—in particular with the underwritten female character in the middle of the film’s central love triangle. While we love the craft accomplishments of this movie, we can’t help but wonder what Paul Verhoeven might have done with this story.

Plus, we check in on this spring’s film festivals, from the recently debuted Los Angeles Festival of Movies presented by Mubi to the 77th annual festival in Cannes, which just kicked off.

And we’re back! For the first episode of our first season as an independent podcast following the sunset of the Feminist Frequency nonprofit organization, we thought we’d discuss one of the most exciting new independent films we’ve seen: Vera Drew’s THE PEOPLE'S JOKER. Join Feminist Frequency Radio co-hosts Kat Spada and A.C. Lamberty as they talk about the movie’s unconventional crowdsourced production, what it gets so right about cultural criticism through parody, and our favorite Batman gags and villains.

Feminist Frequency's Programs Manager Jae Lin took the main stage at the Games for Change Festival in 2023 to join the festival's final Lightning Talks from Luminaries closing session, where six speakers were asked, "What do you envision the world and Games for Change is going to be like in 20 years?" And we said... ABOLITION!

Have you listened to the new episode of #FemFreqRadio? We're previewing the new season with a conversation about #AnyoneButYou!

Feminist Frequency Radio is coming back for its first new season as an independent podcast following the sunset of the FF organization after an incredible 15 years. Kat Spada is thrilled to be re-joined by new co-host A.C. Lamberty, who joined Kat last year for FFR's indulgent "Machos: Fully Loaded" limited series.

In this week's episode we're catching up on Feminist Frequency news, getting amped for the new season, and dissecting a movie we both enjoyed greatly and almost walked out of the theater several times: Will Gluck's 2023 rom-com Anyone But You starring Glenn Powell and Sydney Sweeney, a loose adaptation of Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing.

Next month we'll be back with standard FFR podcast episodes filled with feminist media criticism, and we're so excited to welcome special guests, dive into some book club selections for our Patreon subscribers, and so much more. Stay tuned!

We’re wrapping up this season of FFR just as we started it, with Anita Sarkeesian returning for an episode where she and host Kat Spada talk about a classic movie they both love and could watch over and over. But while this season’s first episode featured Patrick Swayze in Dirty Dancing, this week we’re focusing on a more unconventional romantic leading man—but one that has nevertheless stood the test of time—Nicolas Cage opposite Cher in Norman Jewison’s Moonstruck.

This week we're off to Palm Springs via the new time-loop rom-com on Hulu starring Andy Samberg and Cristin Milotti. We discuss how Palm Springs tweaks the familiar structure of films like Groundhog Day in some significant ways to serve up something fresh, while also acknowledging that it can't entirely avoid some of the troubling matters of consent that often seem to come with the time-loop territory. We also talk about how the film explores questions of what it means to live ethically when every day is the same as the previous ten thousand days, and the surprising sweetness of its love story.

After a brief detour into recent events in Portland, we get into Netflix's hugely successful new action flick, The Old Guard, featuring Charlize Theron as the de facto leader of a group of immortal mercenaries as they welcome a new member and face a new adversary. Our conversation touches on the strength of Gina Prince-Bythewood’s direction, as well as the makeup of the crew, with its international membership that includes two gay men whose fierce devotion to each other melted even Anita's heart. We discuss how the identities of the main characters feel central to their stories and their experiences. Additionally, concerns are raised about the “strong female character” trope, we talk about the loneliness that comes with immortality, and mention some of the fun questions that the premise of a movie like this raises.

Ebony hosts this episode of Feminist Frequency Radio to discuss the James Baldwin documentary, I AM NOT YOUR NEGRO, with very special guest, the prolific and award-winning writer, scholar and activist, Dr. Taiyon J. Coleman. Together, they examine the 2016 film, directed by Haitian filmmaker Raoul Peck, and the legacy of Baldwin’s work against the backdrop of ongoing global protests of police violence against black people and the police murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis.

This week’s podcast was recorded on May 31, 2020. We won’t be discussing a new piece of media; we’re discussing a nation at war. Over the past week, we have watched as righteous protests rise in the wake of the Minneapolis police murder of George Floyd—and the deaths of many other black people including Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and Tony McDade. In response, the white supremacist American state apparatus has activated violently. Today, we want to share with you some of what we’ve seen, resources that might help you take action, and ways to make sense of some of the conflicting narratives we’re being fed.

E3 is cancelled, but do we even need it anymore? And Joe Biden is taking the black vote for granted.

This week on the podcast we are delighted to think critically about the Apple TV+ series Little America. The anthology, from makers of The Big Sick and Master of None, puts the immigrant experience at the center of its plot. Currently available to view without a subscription and already renewed for a second season, this series presents stand-alone episodes observing the story and life of an individual immigrant living in the United States. Join us as we take a look at several episodes, from the tale of a young boy left to run the family motel when his parents are deported, or a Nigerian college student in Oklahoma who loves American cowboy culture, to a Syrian refugee seeking asylum in the US so that he can live openly as a gay man, and explore how successfully Little America presents their stories.
