Page: Feed: --- ## [FFR 275: Hairspray (2007)](http://www.feministfrequency.com) _2026-08-12 · info@feministfrequency.com (Feminist Frequency) · Feminist Frequency Radio_ One question we wanted to ask in our Summer "Camp" season was: does a remake add or remove layers of camp? Especially when it's one of John Waters' best-known films that's moved to the mainstream with a musical adaptation turned Hollywood. Does the overall cartoonishness of Tracy Turnblad's world flatten all of the story's core messages about society? We tied ourselves in knots talking about it...… [Listen](https://cdn.simplecast.com/media/audio/transcoded/149ba4d5-3ff2-4977-baeb-17ea97ced921/e940f4a2-1bf2-4387-8829-631da816ab8b/episodes/audio/group/23659839-bf12-4c86-bece-39caaf5ac821/group-item/670c431e-9702-4af9-b791-8ac2b214af37/128_default_tc.mp3?aid=rss_feed&feed=b5T1D3EB) ## [FFR 274: Barbarella](http://www.feministfrequency.com) _2026-07-29 · info@feministfrequency.com (Feminist Frequency) · Feminist Frequency Radio_ Welcome to our new season: Summer "Camp"! What better film to kick off these episodes with than Roger Vadim's 1968 space romp Barbarella . It's a perfect example of a movie that succeeds in its aesthetic endeavors, but isn't enough of a good sum of its parts to be considered well-made. What we can't deny is that none of it works without Jane Fonda's commitment to the optimistic naïveté of the… [Listen](https://cdn.simplecast.com/media/audio/transcoded/149ba4d5-3ff2-4977-baeb-17ea97ced921/e940f4a2-1bf2-4387-8829-631da816ab8b/episodes/audio/group/ebec0ce5-6cc9-4291-87e4-f64320bfd39c/group-item/6ba1d56c-26c7-4360-8952-6aaca12a0cdc/128_default_tc.mp3?aid=rss_feed&feed=b5T1D3EB) ## [Season Preview: Summer "Camp"](http://www.feministfrequency.com) _2026-07-23 · info@feministfrequency.com (Feminist Frequency) · Feminist Frequency Radio_ Before we dive into our brand new season all about camp cinema classics, we had to reacquaint ourselves with the aesthetic sensibility at the heart of the style. So, we re-read and discussed Susan Sontag's 1964 essay Notes on "Camp." Of course, we digressed into the 2019 Met Gala , Kat's personal history with James Charles (yikes), and the economics of film production. Do we totally nail our… [Listen](https://cdn.simplecast.com/media/audio/transcoded/149ba4d5-3ff2-4977-baeb-17ea97ced921/e940f4a2-1bf2-4387-8829-631da816ab8b/episodes/audio/group/a5576b7d-5ccd-4347-a9e3-38fe6a430bdd/group-item/8316b5ab-f945-4ddb-8e95-beb2f0ff5267/128_default_tc.mp3?aid=rss_feed&feed=b5T1D3EB) ## [FFR 273: The Wedding Banquet (2025)](http://www.feministfrequency.com) _2026-04-02 · info@feministfrequency.com (Feminist Frequency) · Feminist Frequency Radio_ A.C. and Kat experienced Andrew Ahn's remake of The Wedding Banquet across somewhat of a generational divide. He finds it relies on a millennial aesthetic portrayal of queer identity, with inauthentic politics. She (who watched it with Gen X family members) thought it was sweeter and more satisfying than he did. But, having also seen Ang Lee's 1993 original, Kat thinks the movies might be trying… [Listen](https://cdn.simplecast.com/media/audio/transcoded/149ba4d5-3ff2-4977-baeb-17ea97ced921/e940f4a2-1bf2-4387-8829-631da816ab8b/episodes/audio/group/15bb1527-7385-4d57-b05d-e3e5ef0838df/group-item/44ee86c1-5cc3-439e-95d1-01664016b2f5/128_default_tc.mp3?aid=rss_feed&feed=b5T1D3EB) ## [FFR 272: Crooklyn](http://www.feministfrequency.com) _2026-03-25 · info@feministfrequency.com (Feminist Frequency) · Feminist Frequency Radio_ It was an absolute joy to spend time in the world of Spike Lee's 1994 bildungsroman Crooklyn . Co-written by Lee and his siblings Joie and Cinqué, the film follows nine-year-old Troy navigating herself, her neighborhood, and her extended family in 1973. We're refreshed to see Lee's rich visual language as the backdrop for a young girl as the hero of the story of growing up.

We feel a big shift in our relationship to Oscar movies, and aren't sure how much of that is the disintegration of the entertainment industry, and how much is just growing up. Plus, we play a new game all about The Relentless Diane Warren's 17 Oscar-Nominated Songs.

Lisa Cholodenko's The Kids Are All Right is a great example of a specific early 21st-century portrayal of queer families with a "coastal elite" filter, and how it straddled the line between caricature and… [Listen](https://cdn.simplecast.com/audio/e940f4a2-1bf2-4387-8829-631da816ab8b/episodes/1dc12979-c05f-4163-8c90-90cb51ad75de/audio/8ba9e645-4ae2-4cac-80e9-712ca69482b1/default_tc.mp3?aid=rss_feed&feed=b5T1D3EB) ## [FFR Season Preview: Focus on the Family](http://www.feministfrequency.com) _2025-11-25 · info@feministfrequency.com (Feminist Frequency) · Feminist Frequency Radio_ FFR is going to be back soon with a new season focusing on the family ... just in time for the holidays!
