This Is Gonna Hurt - The Podcast Of J. Gordon Duncan

Welcome to the “This is Gonna Hurt Podcast”, the podcast of J. Gordon Duncan. In this episode, Gordon talks about the Bechdel Test. What’s the Bechdel Test? The Bechdel Test is a system for rating movies that asks three questions: Are there two women in the movie with a name? Do they have a conversation with each other? Do they talk about something other than a man? You will be surprised by how many movies fail this test, and if they do pass, the total of conversations about something other than a man totals almost nothing. For example, Crazy Rich Asians? Pass Christopher Robin? Fail. Love Actually? Pass but only with 30 seconds of dialogue. If you would like to learn more about the Bechdel Test, visit www.bechdeltest.com. Thanks for listening.
