Fandom Gatekeeping & the Women Director Gap
About this episode
The episode discusses the challenges female directors face in Hollywood, including Oscars snubs and fandom gatekeeping, while also diving into various film-related topics.
Berenice and Ella sit down with film critic and filmmaker Gabriela Bulgos of the Film Posers podcast to break down why female directors keep getting snubbed at the Oscars, from Kathryn Bigelow and Chloé Zhao's historic wins to the time Catherine Hardwicke directed Twilight into a box office phenomenon and got handed a box of mini cupcakes instead of the sequel. They get into Greta Gerwig's Barbie director snub, the unspoken "credentials" test fans demand from women who like sci-fi, baseball, or anything traditionally male-coded, and why Hollywood almost never lets a woman direct a franchise more than once. Of course, it's still Thanks For Your Concern, so the conversation spirals into Pirates of the Caribbean, a full MCU takedown, Lord of the Rings, Twilight's Team Edward vs Team Jacob, and way too many celebrity crush confessions. Come for the film industry hot takes, stay for the absolute chaos of three women who really, really love movies.
