Trash & Treasures – What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?
You may remember this one from my favorite films list.
Midseason Anime Check-in (Summer 2017)
I got together with some other members of the AniFem team (y’all may recognize Dee from the Utena recaps) to discuss how this season is going so far. Some surprises, some serious disappointments, and a few uneven bits of promise. Show notes are over at Anime Feminist!
Con Reports and In This Corner of the World Review

Flip Flappers Retrospective
