We reference a few pieces. We bring up the Bechdel Cast episode from 2018, a podcast discussing intersectional feminism and using that lens look at movies. We also reference the 2024 episode of What Went Wrong, a podcast with deep dives of the production side of filmmaking and how despite things going wrong, movies emerge even good movies. We also allude to a Cracked piece from 2023 by JM McNab.
There is a new film in the, now trilogy, coming soon and this People piece by Tommy McArdle discusses what is known thus far.
