Description

The Two Women on Our Favorite Shows, the inherent ageism in Hollywood casting, and our latest thoughts on the state of the world.

Join Val and Izolda as we explore topics like being child-free by choice, our favorite TV show binges (Val's is edgy, current, and will get you thinking. Izolda's have a running theme of irresistible nerds.)

We also explore just why the heck casting directors skew so darn young, especially when looking to cast women characters.

If you have a topic you want our takes on, get in touch. Support the show by subscribing and telling your friends to join the conversation.
