About
We made another trilogy episode! This week we talked with Phil Longo about the "Women Against Power Trilogy": The China Syndrome (1979), Silkwood (1983), and Erin Brockovich (2000). These movies each feature a bad-ass woman (Jane Fonda, Meryl Streep, and Julia Roberts) standing up against a power plant conspiracy, and we had a great time thinking about them as a series. Spoilers: poison, boobs, the 2023 mullet, Diet Coke, "Every Day is a Winding Road," lesbian Cher, Mike Nichols, shirtless Kurt Russell, Alien and other scary workplaces, Aaron Eckhart with horrible facial hair babysitting your kids, wtf another Michael Douglas movie?Phil Longo is a teacher and an independent scholar, currently writing a book about Gavin Arthur.
