Filminist Pod

Welcome to Filminist Pod, a new intersectional film podcast featuring conversations with women and non-binary people in film hosted by me, New York City-based journalist and social media strategist, Alyssa Klein. For our first-ever episode, I spoke with actor and activist Piper Perabo about playing and becoming a badass woman DJ on her new Netflix series with Idris Elba, "Turn Up Charlie", what it actually means to be a jury member at the Tribeca Film Festival, what the heck a down-ballot race is and why it's so damn important, Rocky and Bullwinkle and much, much more.
