Season 3 Wrap Up! - MORE Listener Feedback & What's to Come
In our FINAL episode of Season 3, Angie (https://twitter.com/PoetrySoul3) and Steffi (https://twitter.com/inn_mho) answer additional listener feedback. We share the origins of our podcast theme song, tangential Whitney Houston / My Love is Your Love topics, posthumous albums, what’s the difference between an artist that is inspired by other artists and one that merely copies - and so much more!
We also tease what we will be covering next season - Season 4 will be our experimental diva album.
Because this is our final episode of the season, just wanted to say a huge thank you to all of our listeners that listened to us babble on about our favorite divas every week. It really means a lot that you take the time to support the pod in whatever way you do. We see you and appreciate you. And thanks so much for listening and loving the divas just as much as we do.

Carol (2015): CATE BLANCHETT & ROONEY MARA {Part 3}
In this episode, Angie (https://twitter.com/PoetrySoul3) and Steffi (https://twitter.com/inn_mho)’s “Carol” discussion comes to an end. They discuss “Carol” being overlooked by the Oscars, their lackluster marketing campaign, gay shaking, and why the movie will forever be a favorite for people with taste - including you, Harold. This is part 2 of 2 of our era breakdown episodes, and the final part of our “Carol” episodes.
Continuing where we left off with tea - we get into some MAJOR TEA in this episode, including: Cate Blanchett’s controversial Variety interview, Harvey Weinstein, Rooney Mara & category fraud, and JUSTICE FOR CAROL (2015). We also hyper analyze “Carol”’s marketing material including that exquisite teaser trailer, the emotional first trailer…and that really sketchy second trailer. Plus, “Harold, they’re lesbians”.
LOGLINE: Carol is a 2015 romantic period drama film directed by Todd Haynes. The screenplay by Phyllis Nagy is based on the 1952 romance novel The Price of Salt by Patricia Highsmith (republished as Carol in 1990). The film stars Cate Blanchett, Rooney Mara, Sarah Paulson, Jake Lacy, and Kyle Chandler. Set in New York City during the early 1950s, Carol tells the story of a forbidden affair between an aspiring female photographer and an older woman going through a difficult divorce.
