Our fourth installment of our pro-intersectional media analysis series is Interstellar, a quaint tale of U.S. and human and white cis-male exceptionalism, set in space!  

In This Episode

Ah, Interstellar. A movie Nichole loves to hate. So much so that’s she’s seen it five times. In this episode, she finally gets to vent about everything wrong with this gorgeous, entertaining film. Although, maybe she’s just letting her silly girl-emotions get the best of her. We discuss how Matthew McConaughey rubs his dick all over the stars, thereby saving everyone with his aggressive white cis-maleness; we learn why boy emotions are more logical than those that come from hysterical girl scientists; and we see that the human race should for sure kept alive at all costs, even if it means hatching people with uteruses for the sole purpose of breeding…cause, that’s not at all creepy or fucking awful. Joke in the middle
Why are mansplainers never thirsty?
