Episode 67: Heroes & Heroines


In a special episode recorded at the Arisia convention this past January, Rosie returns to have a chat about the great cinematic heroines and heroes. We discuss the attributes we look for in a movie hero before running down our lists of our favorite good guys and gals, a group which transcends race, gender, and species. Warning: Contains explicit language, spoilers, and some minor issues with ambient noise due to the recording space (not to mention some loud weirdos from the room next door).
