About
Examining the portrayal of women in cinema through a feminist lens, these records track the evaluations of "The Bechdel Cast" podcast. The co-hosts, Caitlin Durante and Jamie Loftus, alongside weekly guests, critique movies based on the Bechdel Test and their unique "Nipple" scale. This rating system judges female representation and individualism on a scale from 0 to 5, offering a distinct cultural critique of how the patriarchy influences mainstream media. The records capture the results of these discussions, identifying whether a film provides female characters with autonomy or restricts their dialogue to topics concerning men.
