Hanna

This week, our podcast shines the spotlight on the Female Protagonist, as we continue our "One Last Chance" theme.  And so, we watch the 2011 film about the young female assassin, "Hanna,"  who has one last chance to escape a ruthless intelligence agent trying to track her down across continents.  Starring Saoirse Ronan, Eric Bana and Cate Blanchett, this movie has the added bonus of a great score by the Chemical Brothers.

We also take a deep dive into what we believe makes a great female protagonist, where writers can fall short, and what exactly a "Mary Sue" is.  So listen in, as we toss out our bras, pull on some pants and bust through the glass ceiling of average podcasts.
