We're talking about "The Comedian," the first episode of the Jordan Peele Twilight Zone reboot. What's the deal with the mythology behind stand up comedians? (Seinfeld voice)Does being a "content creator" mean you have to give it up all up, including your personal safety and privacy if you're a woman? And finally, our Take Action this week: support comedian Angelina Spicer's comedy special and documentary on Kickstarter about postpartum depression.

Solange and Jen discuss the Netflix' New Zealand female buddy comedy, "The Breaker Upperers" created by Jackie Van Beek and Madeleine Sami that celebrates friendship and Celine Dionne. Solange and Jen also cover the concept of a "nemesis," Beto's tone-deaf statements on child-rearing and living in a world designed by a woman.

Solange and Jen are a trio for a special "Nine to Five" tribute episode with guest Kelsey Novits, host of Womankind Podcast which explores what it means to be a woman and features real women's stories and stories of subversion. In this episode we talk about the 80's classic Nine To Five, a comedy that packs a powerful feminist message about female alliances as office workers get revenge against their sexist-egotistical-lying-hypocritical-bigot-of-a-boss. We also talk books and roast the western *male* canon, for fun! Kerouac sucks! Read more books by women!

For their Oscar episode, Solange Jen visited the Margaret Herrick library, a world-renowned reference and research collection devoted to the history of movies. They also discuss the Oscars and both wonder why they did not become women's studies professors.

Solange and Jen discuss Netflix' documentary "Fyre: The Greatest Party That Never Happened" and the symbolic nature of the disastrous vision of a sociopathic entrepreneur. They also examine the culture of Instagram fantasy and the odd vapidity of people who aspire to live like Pablo Escobar. Also, are #MeToo apologies becoming a thing?

Archaeology is the study of human activity through the recovery and analysis of material culture. Feminist comedy podcasting is pretty much the same thing. Listen as (basically) archeologists Solange and Jen traverse through Raiders of the Lost Ark to talk about the fearless Indiana Jones, the even more fearless Marion Ravenwood and whether or not Raiders Of The Lost Ark is actually just one long unboxing video from 1981.

Solange and Jen discuss the raucous debauchery of Derry Girls, an Irish Comedy about a group of girls coming of age in Northern Ireland in the 90's and we're also talking debauchery in comedy in the '19's. What are we even calling this decade that's almost over? Anyway, take a listen! Happy 2019.

Solange Jen wrap up the year by discussing two new Netflix films that celebrate traditionally dehumanized female roles, "Dumplin'" and "Roma." They also discuss solidarity among feminism and the podcast "Teacher's Pet."

Solange Jen get English major-y and deep dive into the myth of the "West" and "Cowboy Culture" with "The Ballad of Buster Scruggs and "When Calls The Heart." They talk about violence, isolation and is it fair to call the Coen brothers "geniuses"?

In this episode of Take Down the Patriarchy, Solange and Jen untangle thousands of years of wedding tradition and solve all the problems that come with it in just over an hour. Not really, but they DO have a lot of thoughts about it and they use 2012's "Bachelorette" to get INTO it.
