A multi-cultural, polysexual podcast about womxn on screen and behind the camera. Film critic Soma Ghosh, often joined by top feminine artists & thinkers, deep-dives the latest and classic TV and films, combining English & non-English works. Clever, fun & badly behaved.
Writer, TED talker and Professor, Pragya Agarwal joins Soma Ghosh to talk about the "beautiful, sublime, heart-rending" Ama Gloria by Marie Amouchekeli and Apple's Presumed Innocent, directed by Anne Sewitsky and starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Ruth Negga and Renate Reinsve. We discuss alternative mothering, the healing wisdom of a child's point of view and whether a female director can rescue the screen obsession with brutalising women.
Losing your daughter to ISIS or drink: this episode, film critic Soma Ghosh takes a closer look at the big ideas in Kaouther Ben Hania's Four Daughers and Emma Westenberg's Bleeding Love, starring Ewan McGregor and his daughter Clara. Let's think about destructive co-dependencies, the relationships between daughters and their mothers and fathers, and the truths families can't tell.
Film critic Soma Ghosh probes a problmatic vein, in TV & film, of fake feminism that glamorises female trauma and MeToo abuses, while taking us through the Monia Chokri's zinging new comedy thriller, The Babysitter. Also touching on popular TV like The Undoing, The Morning Show and The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, Ghosh asks, "Is it OK to joke about MeToo?"
