Gen and Jette talk about The Refrigerator monologues - Catherynne M. Valente's take on the trope of women being "fridged" to further the story of the men in their lives.

And… Daredevil, The OC, and The Amazing Spiderman

Also – why hasn’t Jette watched emo-Spiderman?

The author that coined the phrase is Gail Simone, not Simon. our bad!

Annie Wu is the awesome illustrator for the book
