Podcast Overview

Femme & Furious is a feminist pop culture podcast for women and LGBTQIA+ folks who want a feminist spin on beloved TV, books, and blockbuster franchises. If you devour BookTok romances, spiral over Emily Henry releases, and still show up for Marvel while side-eyeing the gender politics...welcome. You’re in the right space, babe! We ask the big questions: Is this empowering? Why are we still rewarding emotionally unavailable men? Just how many women have to get fridged before we change the trope? Why do stories that mean so much to women and queer folks get dismissed? Why do female characters have to earn complexity while male characters are handed it? And why are we absolutely feral for certain fictional men anyway? (somewhat rhetorical) If you want smarter pop culture conversations, feminist book discussions, and a space where your obsession makes sense… Press play.

'House of the Dragon' Queen's Landing Slay-by-Slay

<p><strong>Summary: </strong>If there's one thing HotD does well, it's center the women. Our two girlie pops, Alicent &amp; Rhaenyra, are finally together again, and we need to make some space for the sexual tension and trauma that's about to enter the chat. This was a beautiful episode exploring grief and the consequences of war and power. It's an episode that explores 3 different women, all with the title Queen, who have varying degrees of power in a place literally called "King's Landing". As we sit with the heartbreaking aftermath of the Battle of the Gullet, the emotional fallout hits just as hard as the physical one. Meanwhile, Aemond and Daemon continue their testosterone-fueled race toward mutual destruction, and the Queens continue to prove they're the most compelling players on the board.</p><p><strong>Join 2 Femme, 2 Furious: </strong>If you're looking for a group of people who take their fangirling and their feminism seriously, look no further! 2 Femme, 2 Furious is a cultural salon &amp; community space that is designed to help you deepen your feminist lore while expanding your fangirl joy!

'Every Year After' Episodes 3,4 & 5

<p><b>Big Announcement: Come fangirl with us</b></p><p>I've started a cultural salon for feminist fangirls who want more than just a podcast feed. This is for the girls, gays, and theys who want buddy reads, mutual aid, monthly zines, and a found family that actually shows up. Plus, each month we'll have a guest expert join us for a salon-style convo where you can deepen your feminist lore (think: political experts, gender scholars, grassroots organizers, film &amp; media critics). There's so much more inside, so come take a peek! </p><p></p><p>On JULY 15th, we'll dive deep in <b>ACOTAR </b>together (chapter by chapter, already listed for you on the site) ahead of our bonus episode. </p><p></p><p><b>Plus: I'm doing a giveaway for THREE free lifetime memberships. All you have to do is leave a review on apple podcasts!

On one hand, I can't stop watching. On the other hand, the integrity of the book is out the window and we need to just accept the rollercoaster ride we're on. Who needs Percy &amp; Sam when we have Jordie and Chantal? There are some really rich feminist themes woven through these few episodes and also some questionable choices. Who are we to judge? We stan some messy drama</p><p></p><p><b>CHAPTERS:</b></p><p>00:00 Hot Gril Hot Take: Episode Intro</p><p>00:49 Introducing 2 Femme, 2 Furious, a cultural salon</p><p>14:24 Obligatory Dance Break</p><p>15:51 Episode 3: Playing with Fire</p><p>48:53 Episode 4: Anatomy of a Romance</p><p>01:11:17 Episode 5: I choose you</p><p>01:28:26 Feminist Follow-Through</p><p>01:30:43 Burn Book: Episode Superlatives </p><p>01:32:34 Scheduling Changes</p><p></p><p><b>Feminist Follow-Through: </b>No matter how chaotic and unnecessary the passport drama was with Chantal, it would have been significantly worse IRL. Let's be real, this US Admin is not favorable to people crossing boarders, and with her expired passport, Chantal would have been in a pretty bad situation. So many immigrants in this country are facing a far worse situation, so let's protect our most vulnerable and call our reps and stop migrant abuse at ICE centers.

Bisexual Baddie Draft with Capri Campeau

<p><b>Summary: </b>The Fairy Bi Mother, AKA Capri Campeau, has visited Femme &amp; Furious. Not only are we hanging out with queer royalty and a gem of a human, but Capri &amp; Julia dive into all things bisexual baddie related. There are ten categories, ranging from characters to items, all celebrating what it is to be bi. Happy Pride Month to everyone listening. </p><p></p><p><b>Feminist Follow-Through:</b> For this episode, Capri has requested that all feminist efforts go towards supporting her bestie and co-host, Ashley Whitfield. Ashley is a Black Queer Creator with a passion for making the world better and safer for everyone, especially our Black &amp; Trans community. Capri waxed poetic about her, so i'm attaching a direct link to her venmo, where you can choose to donate if it tickles you! <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://linkly.link/2lKvL" target="_blank">https://linkly.link/2lKvL</a></p><p></p><p><b>Find &amp; Follow Capri: </b></p><ul><li>A Little Queer Podcast: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://linkly.link/2lKvO" target="_blank">https://linkly.link/2lKvO</a></li><li>Find Capri on IG: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://linkly.link/2lKvR" target="_blank">https://linkly.link/2lKvR</a></li><li>Join Capri on Patreon: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://linkly.link/2lKvS" target="_blank">https://linkly.link/2lKvS</a></li></ul><br/><p></p>
