It's back to our regularly scheduled programming with IRON MAN! Join Kelly and Sarah as they journey back to a simpler time...when terrorists lived in caves, not the internet, Robert Downey Jr was a risky proposition, and the MCU timeline monster was a mere gleam in Kevin Feige's eye.

Whatever happens, we'll always have Wonder Woman. The girls revel in relief and joy over a DC Superhero movie that is not only watchable, but thoroughly enjoyable. They'll discuss the importance of sincerity in superheroes, and why Diana Prince is what happens when women grow up constantly validated and affirmed (making Themyscira the most mythical place in the DC universe).

In the Season 2 Opener, Kelly and Sarah discuss BATMAN BEGINS, the superhero movie that kicked off everything dark and gritty in the superhero genre. They'll discuss why the effects of this movie are still being seen today, whether Christopher Nolan has daddy issues, and why it's so dang hard for a girl to find a bralette when she needs one.

We're so excited to announce SEASON 2 of the Bad Feminist Film Club will be attacking the Superhero genre! We'll be discussing everything from current releases to the modern history of the genre everyone thought was a fad...20 years ago. The first episode of Season 2 will air MAY 19TH. In the meantime, subscribe on iTunes and follow @badfemfilmclub on Twitter for more details.

Stay tuned for Season 2 announcements and more by following us on Twitter: @ badfemfilmclub

The girls watch FURIOUS 7 in the second-to-last episode of Season 1. They'll ponder why the franchise likes to build their female characters up only to tear them down, whether Michelle Rodriguez will be even more front and center in the future, and how the Paul Walker tribute sequence can be so perfect and so heart-wrenching at the same time. Plus: predictions for cyberpunk zombies and more in F8 of the Furious.

The end is in sight as the girls turn to FAST & FURIOUS 6. With production values at an all-time high, the girls will ask (again): how can you have three great female characters, but still manage to make a sexist movie? Does Brian's peace of mind really require breaking into and out of prison? And of course, how long was that g*ddamn runway?

Like a 1963 Corvette Grand Sport shooting off a cliff, FAST 5 catapulted the Fast and Furious franchise into the era of B-movie goodness.
