Vanessa and Meagan, the ladies of Feminists Watching Action Movies (FWAM), agree on four things: (1) wine is delicious, (2) women are underrepresented or misrepresented in action movies, (3) action movies are awesome in spite of this, and (4) it is really hard to keep track of what day it is. Join them every other Monday as they discuss a new action movie.

While there are new movies that are fun and enjoyable, they just don‘t have the same impact as the Action and Horror Movies we remember as kids/teenagers. So we figured we were not alone in our nostalgia and created a podcast to entertain people who feel the same as us. We will talk about what made certain movies so memorable. We will talk about a movie so cheesy but still makes us smile. We will share a memory of watching a movie for the first time.
