Susan Kelsey, academic in the field of Women in Filmmaking, joins Carolyn and Colin this week to talk about Mindy Kaling's 2019 film "Late Night". The film stars Emma Thompson, Mindy Kaling, Hugh Dancy, Reid Scott, and John Lithgow, and centres around an aging late night talk show host Katherine Newbury, who worries she may be losing her show and adds a South Asian-American woman to her all white, all male writing staff. This episode brings out a strong conversation about women in filmmaking, sexism in the workplace, and what makes good comedy.
The Movie Exchange is taking new week off, but will return on July 27 with a Captain America Episode, and our hosts will be joined by Out of Time Cosplayer, David Pynn.
