SFL S6E17 - Hello Goodbye 38:16

לפני 2 years38:16

38:16

After an amazing five years, the time has come for Strong Female Leads to hang up our capes for the forseeable future. A combination of professional and personal changes means that availability to record and edit podcasts has become more or less impossible to maintain going forwards in 2023. We couldn't be more grateful for such a wonderful audience willing to listen to our thoughts on nerd culture from a feminist perspective. And what a few years it's been! Captain Marvel, female Ghostbusters, Jodie Whittaker and so much more (not that we're taking the credit... but we're absolutely taking the credit). Massive shout out to our Book Club readers (and Krissy!), everyone who chats to us on Twitter and all of our fabulous guests. It's been a brilliant run. Our archive will remain in all the places you find podcasts and you can find the hosts in all the usual ways (we'll pin this to our Twitter feed as well, @strfemaleleads). Peace out, nerds.…

Conventions are, perhaps inexplicably, back. Those of you who follow the Strong Female Leads twitter account will know that I was down at London Film & Comic Con this weekend and it was a BLAST but there have definitely been some changes since 2019! So we were thinking - what does the future hold for this fundamental geek space? Difference between virtual and in person Less merch now and feeling less specialised BUT ALSO a growth in independent operators Is there still a space for virtual cons? Lessons learned (or not) - news in the press about Joseph Quinn Are you going to change your behaviour around conventions going forward? Bonus Feature - Phase 4! Look, we bang on a lot about Marvel but perhaps you've lost track of all the telly and movies and life is short - is it worth catching up on? Can you just get the highlights? Spoilers Very mild Harley Quinn animated TV series spoilers Very mild spoilers for MCU, particularly Phase 4 Chip & Dale Rescue Rangers Mild speculation about The Marvels and linked to WandaVision Stronger spoilers for Dr Strange & The Multiverse of Madness Russell Crowe's accent in Thor: Love & Thunder…
