After Work Drinks11 Feb 2020

Welcome To Casa Amor

On the agenda this week, Izzy has discovered Love Island and now we’ll literally never hear the end of it and Grace wants to talk about ambition a bit more. Plus, Harvey Weinstein’s deranged lawyer spent 35 minutes blaming his victims in a truly fucked New York Times interview. Is it time we started talking more about the phenomenon of female misogyny? Finally, let’s dive into the OSCARS. We’re doing our usual red carpet debrief (Natalie Portman, ily) and celebrating the unexpected wins of Parasite’s Bong Joon-ho and Jojo Rabbit’s Taika Waititi. But most of all, we investigate why the Oscars are still so bloody white (and male) in 2020. Why has this conversation been going on for decades without any real change? And how do we - as Joaquin P so eloquently put it - break down the system?

As always, rate, review and subscribe (it’s your feminist duty). We love you.
