Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
On the Doll Cast. The questions asked if movies have
women and um are all their discussions just boyfriends and
husbands or do they have individualism the patriarchy? Zef In
best start changing it with the Bell Cast. Hi, everybody,
Jamie here and me too. It's Caitlin incredible. Well off

(00:23):
to an amazing start as always. So this week listeners
were doing something a little different. It's a cross promotional.
I don't even know if that counts. If it's like
one of the hosts like, you can't cross over with yourself,
I will, I think you can. That sounds forty now, Yeah,

(00:46):
I crossed over with myself last night. I crossed over
with myself three times this morning. Okay, fine, we're crossing
over with ourselves. So this week, instead of a normally
scheduled episode, we're gonna be releasing a cross episode from
my new researched series called act Cast. We talked about

(01:07):
it a little bit before our nine to five episode
a couple of weeks ago, but yeah, we're we're releasing
one of those episodes into the bettel cast feed this week.
If you haven't tried the show out, I mean we couldn't.
Uh and then we'll be back with our with your
regularly scheduled programming next week. But I've chose this episode

(01:32):
to release into the feed. This is the third in
this series, which might seem kind of random, but there's
reasoning behind it that hopefully makes sense. Which is that
So the show is is me using the Kathy comics
that came out between to kind of just trace elements
of the Boomer generation that are very frustrating or very

(01:56):
complicated or very just It's a lot and this is
this is the episode that is about just kind of
a brief history of American feminism and how it's It's
stuff that we talked about on the show a lot,
but but I learned a lot doing it. It's just
about how, you know, feminism in the US almost always

(02:16):
hugely lacks intersectionality. I learned a ton about how, um
some of this I knew, but like how some of
the um, you know, most prominent white feminist leaders of
our time were deeply openly racist, topically openly homophobic, and
so uh there, and then there's also Cathey comics, so

(02:38):
there's celebrity. But it's mostly about the first and second
waves of feminism in the US. And where their successes
were and where they're huge glaring failures were. And yeah,
I feel like if you're a fan of the Bechtel Cast,
it's kind of relevant info because stuff that we've alluded
to on the show quite a bit. But I don't know,

(03:02):
the more I learned, the more I'm just like, damn
it truly has always been this way? How how frustrating? Yeah, well,
I appreciate you doing at cast and doing that deep
dive and providing all that context. It's a really great episode.
I think everyone. I think all of our listeners have
if you haven't heard it already, which I bet you

(03:24):
know a fair number have. But if you haven't, check
it out and then go back, start from the beginning,
listen to the whole thing. The world is your oyster.
I'm going to and now I'm going to vendmo you
the fifty dollars I promised to vendmo you for saying
all of that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, thank you. I really

(03:47):
appreciate it. Uh yeah, it was a super fun show
to put together, and I hope you enjoy it. Caitlin
appears in the fourth episode. If you're having fun listening,
