Feminism Ruins Everything episodes:

July 16, 2020 The Greatest Showman is Never, Never Enough
Put on your top hats and dazzle us with rope tricks, we're talking about the 2017 pop-culture phenomenon: The Greatest Showman! Hope you like Sassy Ellis, because he's in full swing today as we discuss the failings of the movie to critique the exploitation of vulnerable people, we discuss the failings of the movie to adhere to a stylistic choice, and we ask the question: ... why? Just... Why?

July 13, 2020 Taboo Tuesday: Menstruation in Media and its Sexist Stigma
Q: What do Taboo Tuesday and Periods have in common? A: They come once a month. *insert uproarious laughter*. Even though people who menstruate make up about 50% of the world's population, periods are still wildly underrepresented, stigmatised and demonised in media and pop culture. In this month's Taboo Tuesday we give a scathing critique to the media that contributes to period stigma and celebrate the initiatives working to end it, including chatting to Shuari Naidoo, founder of Moraka Menstrual Cups, about how her New Zealand-based small business is tackling period stigma. Listen in, it'll be bloody good fun!

Disclaimer: Please be aware that we're not doctors and cannot speak with any medical authority on this topic. If you have concerns about your experience with periods, please seek medical advice where possible.

Language Warning: If you wish to avoid strong language, skip [10:10 - 10:40].

July 09, 2020 Six is Taking Back the Microphone with Vidya Makan
We're welcoming you to the Histo-Remix this week as we dive into the wild world of SIX. We're joined by Australia's Catherine Parr herself, Vidya Makan, to discuss finding your inner queen, genuinely inclusive casting, and the sisterhood of the Queendom.

July 02, 2020 Hamilton is in The Room Where It Happened with Laura Tipoki
To celebrate the movie of the original Broadway cast being released, this week we dive into none other than HAMILTON. We are joined by Laura Tipoki, Musical Director of Hamilton Australia; she shares her insight into the show and the casting process, and we try not to lose our chill about how she's met Lin-Manuel Miranda. Join us as we discuss how this show transcends the boundaries of genre, we theorise about the queer fan fic it inspires, and we ask the question: can such a male-dominated story hold up as a feminist work?

June 25, 2020 Pretty Woman Rescues Us Right Back
Content Warning: we discuss Sex Work and Sexual Assault.

If you wish to skip the discussion about sexual assault, skip [16:53 - 17:33]

We go back to the nineties to discuss Julia Robert's breakout film: Pretty Woman! Join us as we celebrate the role of Vivian as a strong female lead, spend way too much time discussion Richard Gere's nipples, and ask the question: does the rosy depiction of sex work have real world implications?

June 18, 2020 Heathers Is BIG FUN! With Kirsty Burch
TW: Abusive Relationships, Sexual Assault, Suicide.

To avoid the discussion about abusive relationships, skip: [15:00 - 17:79].

To avoid the discussion about Sexual Assault, skip: [21:22 - 27:41].

To avoid the discussion about suicide, skip: [41:04 - 49:28].

We feel like Bono at Live Aid on the show today, as we talk about the cult classic, Heathers! Join us and our delightful guest, Kirsty Burch, as we revel in sex positivity, lament the poor representation of plus-sized women in musical theatre, and ask the question: should Ellis be worried about how attracted he was to Christian Slater playing a psychopath?

June 11, 2020 How Do You Solve A Problem Like The Sound of Music? With Amy Lehpamer
In today's episode, we welcome Helpmann Award winner Amy Lehpamer (all-round good human and 'Maria' in the 2015/2016 Australian tour of Sound of Music) to discuss one of Rodgers and Hammerstein's most beloved musicals. We dive into why Maria is a feminist icon, learn a little about nuns, and ask the question 'is the audience always right?'
