Since there are no good Thanksgiving movies out there, we've decided to repost the only movie so far that broke the SFL scale!     Happy Thanksgiving from SFL

This week, Tessa and Tricia discuss The Family Stone.  It's not a Thanksgiving movie but no one cares.  We've got a "super liberal" boho family (a slightly cluttered home with books stacked on the nightstand).  We've got a conservative (she wears suits and a tight bun).  We've got a feminist (she wears a long sleeve shirt under a short sleeve shirt).  And we've got Luke Wilson (being Luke Wilson)...

Welcome back to Haddonfield,IL. In this weeks episode Tessa & Tricia revisit Halloween night 2018 and have A LOT to say in this XL episode of SFL.   

It's spooky season and this week Tessa & Tricia visit the sleepy town of Haddenfield, IL to check out the local lore of knife wielding man in a William Shatner mask vs a doomsday pepper turned final girl. We have so many fan theories, most of which involve large nets.  Next week's film is Halloween Kills, in theaters now!

On this week's episode, Tessa and Tricia discuss Clickbait - the super bingeable Netflix miniseries starring Zoe Kazan and Adrian Grenier.     Follow SFL on all the socials!  And remember to rate, review, and subscribe! IG: StrongFemalePOD TW: SFL_Chicago  

SFL is BACK!  On this week's episode, Tessa and Tricia discuss Fleabag, the brainchild of Phoebe Waller-Bridge, SFL icon.  Fleabag is an SFL favorite and has come up during many an episode, but this week - it will finally get the attention it deserves.      Follow us on all the socials!  And remember to rate, review, and subscribe!

Million Dollar Baby is a 2004 American sports drama film directed, co-produced, and scored by Clint Eastwood. NOT a movie about a women's struggle to overcome seemingly insurmountable odds to dominate a sport later in life.  We have THOUGHTS and a special medical fact checking from Zach the Dr./Husband to the pod.  Check us out on socials IG: StrongFemalePod TW: SFL_Chicago

All rise - the Church of Latterday SFLs is now in service.  This week, Tessa and Tricia are joined by a very special guest and superfan of the pod, Aram Ronaldo, to discuss She's the Man - the second installment of SFL's "You __ Like a Girl" series.   Instagram: @StrongFemalePOD Twitter: @SFL_Chicago

This week, Tessa and Tricia discuss I, Tonya.  This movie is a must-see; you can't make this s&%t up.  Plus, all the 90s feels and the use of Gillooly as a verb.  Doesn't get any better than that.     Instagram: @StrongFemalePOD Twitter: @SFL_Chicago

This week, Tessa and Tricia discuss Showgirls, an experience from which they are still in deep recovery mode.  Is this a satire, a social commentary, or just a terrible flop? Either way it's campy AF, raises a million questions, and worth a (re)watch.  Also, SFLanon conspiracies, hopeless misogyny and much more! #longliveNOMI #soyouthinkyoucandance   Instagram: @StrongFemalePOD Twitter: @SFL_Chica...

This week, Tessa & Tricia kick off SFL's So You Think You Can Dance series with 80s classic Dirty Dancing and both agree that the movie is still.that.good.  They also chat about that very special Patrick Swayze brand of masculinity (RIP), traveling abortionists, family camp class warfare, THAT SOUNDTRACK, and much more. Is Baby an SFL?  You'd better believe it.   Instagram: @StrongFemalePOD Twitte...
