This week, we bring you double the fun with a MAJOR two part crossover review of Black Swan with the lovely and hilarious ladies from Strong Female Lead Podcast. You can find part one of our Black Swan review right here on our feed—before the review, we get Tessa and Tricia’s takes on pop culture and dig into what they’ve been watching lately. During part one of our Black Swan review, we break it all down: we talk disordered eating, the rigors of ballet, motivational abuse, lesbian fantasies catered towards men’s desire, and more.

Make sure you head on over to SFL’s podcast on April 21st, 2021 to hear part two of our crossover! There, we continue our conversation about Black Swan and analyze themes of masculinity and femininity. Plus, Tricia and Tess break down their podcast and their love for the leading ladies of Hollywood—and we find out what exactly characterizes a strong female lead. And of course, we couldn’t go an episode without random tangents about pop culture. (You know us…) What’re you waiting for? Give them a listen, rate and review their podcast, and follow them on their social media NOW.
