Previous show notes:

Hi all! Today we are chatting about Strong Female Characters. What does that mean? Who are they? (Everyone from Buffy to Ripley to Arya) Who aren't they? (Princess Buttercup and a myriad of sexy lamps and "leading ladies") Who are our favorites? Plus, we play your favorite game and ours, Wed/Bed/Behead (formerly Marry/Sex/Kill).

Bonus: Instead of totally random recs to wrap up, we discuss the movie Us (spoiler-free, which is a challenge!)

As always, our intro/outro music is "We are Highscore" by Krackatoa.

We've got an all-new episode about EVEN MORE adaptations coming your way soon! In the meantime, enjoy this encore of our previous adaptations episode.

Spoilers for the following: Gone Girl, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Big Little Lies, The Martian, Annihilation, and Call Me By Your Name.

Plus, we start the show with our thoughts on the Oscars and the 92nd Academy Awards.

Stay tuned to the end for our Random Recommendations: Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) and Horse Girl.
