Homebody Heroines

Welcome back to another episode of Homebody Heroines! This week we explore the world of Marvel and get the deeply upsetting truth behind one of America's favorite superheroes. We tackle some big topics like racism and Hitler's mustache and we learn some interesting, albeit upsetting, facts about history and how media can often reflect the world we live in. As depressing as this summary sounds we had a fun time and we think you'll enjoy this episode!

Boy, oh boy what a fun week as the Homebodies tackle their first ever video game! In continuing their dive into mental health related media they play through Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice and tackle all the big questions. How does one pronounce Celtic? Are video games secretly out to get us? Which is this game better at inducing; motion sickness, or anxiety attacks? All in all a great time was had and we hope you enjoy this episode as much as we enjoyed recording it, even if one half of our duo was sick!

This week things get a little dark as the Homebodies dive into the 2015 film I Smile Back starring Sarah Silverman. If you thought we made a stretch last week connecting Sucker Punch to mental health awareness month, boy oh boy did we fix that. This week we discuss depression, the acting brilliance of one Sarah Silverman, and wonder if this could be the end of the Homebodies... spoiler it's not, though we did have a hard time finding things to agree on as we moved through this indie film. This was a real thought provoking conversation and we hope you enjoy it.

It's a new month and with that comes a new theme! To kick off 2021's Mental Health Awareness Month the Homebodies are talking the 2011 Zack Snyder masterpiece, Sucker Punch. Wow, was this a fun time! We talk creepy stepdads, giants with dicks for noses, and of course how terrible mental health facilities were once upon a time! Join us as we try to discover what babies eat and whether any of the main characters actually existed in the film! We had fun and we hope you do to!

Stay safe out there Homebodies!

This week the Homebodies are partying up the last week of Katrina's birth month by going through her favourite book. As always, we got questions about dick, we wonder what would happen if Narnia was a straight up asshole, and we chat about some pleasant polygamists. This chat was delightful to have and we can't wait for you to listen and enjoy!

Where to purchase: This book should be available at your local library, on audible, kindle, amazon, and wherever books are sold.

This week the Homebodies take on their first indie film... 2009's Away We Go! This was a blast and had us asking a lot of deep questions. Why are couples in movies typically so toxic? Did Courtney murder his wife? Does Tina even know Katrina at all? How hard is it to find someones vagina? This was a pleasant surprise for all involved and we think you'll enjoy!!! 

Where to watch: Rent on Prime
