This week, we are discussing the film... The Birdcage starring Robin Williams and Nathan Lane. Is the movie, feminist... is it inclusive? Is it problematic? Is it good?

This week we're taking a look at Netflix's The Half Of It, this is Alice Wu's second movie. We did her first one, Saving Face two years ago on the podcast here. It was one of the few films to pass ALL of the tests.

This is a story about Ellie Chu, who starts writing love letters for a boy in her class, Paul, to one of their other classmates, Aster... except that Ellie starts falling in love with Aster.  But, is the movie feminism and inclusive?

This week we're taking a  look at the Mel Brooks sci-fi spoof Spaceballs. Whether you prefer Star Trek to Star Wars, or Planet of the Apes, every single one manages to get a good lampooning from the master of parody. But is this movie feminist?

We also have special guest, Tim Gavin!

It wouldn't be a Mel Brooks month without his first film about two men involved in an insurance scam by creating the worst Broadway production ever made... except that it doesn't go as planned and they have a smash hit on their hands. Mel Brooks also won an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay and the film was later made into a Hit musical and then the musical was made into a film... but how does the original shape up?

Also, we are on Twitter. 

This week, Aislene and Gracie are taking on the most famous (or infamous)  of Mel Brooks movies... you know, the one that edge lords like to say that you couldn't make today. Is the movie incredibly racist or is it about the ridiculousness of racism?  

Is it Feminist? Is it Inclusive?

In our first Mel Brooks movie we take a look at Young Frankenstein. (That's Fronkensteen!) Equal parts satire and love letter to the classic monster movies of the 1950s, does this classic comedy hold up?
