I'm back for a new season of my two-time award nominated podcast! Kicking off in fine style with critic, author, podcaster, author and film programmer Anna Bogutskaya. Anna's fascinating book Unlikeable Female Characters interrogates nine key tropes of female representation, including the angry woman and the pyscho. We dig into the long history of moralising about how women have been permitted to carry themselves onscreen and offscreen, and how things have been shifting for female creators and their protagonists in recent years. #FatalAttraction #ThelmaAndLouise #PromisingYoungWoman #GoneGirl #UnlikeableFemaleCharacters.
