Munsons at the Movies

Welcome to the Munsons at the Movies podcast. Each episode we delve into the filmography and impact of a randomly selected actor.

In this episode, we explore the career of Geena Davis. Best known for her roles as Thelma in Thelma & Louise (1991), Dottie in A League of their Own (1992) and Veronica in The Fly (1986), Davis had a stranglehold on Hollywood for a stretch in the 80s and 90s. Joined once again by Michael Van De Voort, we discuss her amazingly resilient IMDb Star Meter, her surprising archery skills, the foundation she created for studying gender representation on-screen in Hollywood, her incredible transformation from mannequin to Oscar winner, and pepper in facts from her memoir: Dying of Politeness. How does she rank on the Munson Meter? Listen to find out.
