We're back! Daniella and Stefan talk about women's empowerment (well, white, cis women's empowerment, let's not kid ourselves) and how it is portrayed in 2015's 'Mad Max: Fury Road' and 2020's 'Promising Young Woman.' How do these movies aim to empower the women at the center? What constitutes as feminism in a movie? Why was comfort around issues of empowerment so different between these movies? All this and more!
