  • S3 E21: Family Stone

    17/11/2021 Duration: 01h09min

    This week, Tessa and Tricia discuss The Family Stone.  It's not a Thanksgiving movie but no one cares.  We've got a "super liberal" boho family (a slightly cluttered home with books stacked on the nightstand).  We've got a conservative (she wears suits and a tight bun).  We've got a feminist (she wears a long sleeve shirt under a short sleeve shirt).  And we've got Luke Wilson (being Luke Wilson) and Diane Keaton (being amazing as always). Also, Tessa is a winter fairy!  You heard it here first.   Follow SFL on all the socials!  And remember to rate, review, and subscribe! IG: StrongFemalePOD TW: SFL_Chicago

    14/04/2021 Duration: 01h23min

    This week, Tessa and Tricia discuss Showgirls, an experience from which they are still in deep recovery mode.  Is this a satire, a social commentary, or just a terrible flop? Either way it’s campy AF, raises a million questions, and worth a (re)watch.  Also, SFLanon conspiracies, hopeless misogyny and much more! #longliveNOMI #soyouthinkyoucandance   Instagram: @StrongFemalePOD Twitter: @SFL_Chicago
