A Pompeii and The Wind Rises Double Header!

This week is ripe with adventure as Katey and Patches grab their swords, slip on their sandals and scale Pompeii, the latest blockbuster from vulgar auteurist Paul W.S. Anderson. Then, after hinting at talking about it for months, Patches and David finally discuss Hayao Miyazaki’s final film The Wind Rises. Does the English version do justice to the Japanese original? It’s certainly not a disaster, like the movies you picked for this week’s lighting round.

010 – This Bechdel Test Podcast Doesn’t Pass It
| 11. February, 2014

EPISODE_GRAPHIC

Plus David From The Berlin Film Festival!

This week, Katey, Patches and Da7e have heard your cries for more trivia and deliver in a Katey-moderated Patches Vs. Da7e mini-showdown. Elsewhere in the world, David is attending a film festival, The Berlin Film Festival! Possibly with a bag over his head, the not-famous-anymore David will give us a lowdown. Back in NYC, Katey was on a panel discussing the Bechdel Test for movies (two named women characters who talk about something other than a man), if it can be useful or should be discarded as outdated. Patches and Da7e manage not to embarrass their gender too badly.
