Feminine Features: Recent Episodes
Shishkin Productions
Tired of Man Movies? Welcome to Feminine Features! In this podcast we explore Chick Flicks, an entirely underrated genre of film. We consider the techniques, themes, critical response, and the impact on our lives. Join our hosts Anne “Sully” Sullivan, Winsor Jewell, and Kent Samuels on a journey through films for women. These film nuts will bring a smile to your face, and maybe a new movie to your mantle!
Fellas is it illegal to just have bad luck? This week we talk about electrocution, privilege and McBusted. It’s like a tax write off, it’s Just My Luck.

This is the most heterosexual movie I’ve ever seen in my life! This one may not be a chick flick but it's still pride month, give us a break. This week we talk about starting a gay little family, super empathy and Sully’s love for Tom Cruise. Suck it up, it’s Interview with the Vampire: The Vampire Chronicles.

Happy pride! This week famously good students Sully, Jenna and Winsor discuss the rotting duck carcass, Challengers, and how hot Walt Whitman was. It’s a force of nature, it’s The Incredibly True Adventure of 2 Girls in Love.

We’re in our Tana Mongeau era (sitting on the couch in our new studio). This week we talk about not being afraid, Fall Out Boy, and how this movie reads like fan fiction. Winsor sounds like that because he was too busy being photographed for Us Weekly (jk we had technical difficulties). Alley-oop! It’s Just Wright!

This week’s movie is certainly a unique challenge of screenwriting and film making, a spectacle that should be seen but not for any money and not if you don’t like racism. This week we talk about Taylor and Taylor, the New York Jets and how maybe these characters just need to talk to someone about their relationship. Let’s celebrate, it’s Valentine’s Day.

We discuss the fact that bitches be crazy, the quaint southern town of Staten Island and how Jenna’s boyfriend would break up with her if she made a single album of their future children.

Welcome to Feminine Features! In this first episode we get into why we believe Chick Flicks, and discussion on Chick Flicks is important. And what better movie to start us off than Mean Girls? We get into popularity, gossip (the 411, the hot goss), sexualization of teenage girls and the greatest villain of all time: Regina George. Come stare into this Abyss, who knows?
