Wonder Woman (2017) Podcast - The Nuggets of Goodness Edition

If you don't mind swearing....and lots of it, please join us for a recap and discussion about all things Wonder Woman.

Post-show note: Holly here. In our Wonder Woman recap, we talk a lot about the importance of representation in film, and the importance of seeing yourself represented in a powerful way.

Hollywood has set a really low bar when it comes to fully fleshed out representations of diverse - and especially native - characters in powerful roles. But what we missed - completely and utterly - what the ways that Eugene Black Rock had grounded his portrayal in real life, history, and language. He claimed that space, and we missed it.
