S2 E11: Killing Eve—Finding love in unexpected crime scenes

This week's episode is about "Killing Eve"——one of TV's most glorious cat-and-mouse thriller that subverts all the usual trope of this genre. Forget about the Bechdel test, this show is 99% about three badass women (Eve, Villanelle, Carolyn) and full of brimming sexual tension between our two female protagonists. We are joined by Xiao Meili, a badass her self, (yes, she has her own wikipedia page.) She's a women's rights activist in China and a big fan of 1. spy thrillers in general and 2. love stories between women.In this episode, we dive into why Killing Eve is so different from everything else we've seen on TV, performances and scenes that we love, and more.

Om Podcasten

Loud Murmurs is a Mandarin-Chinese podcast about American pop culture, brought to you by four bilingual and bi-cultural women in the U.S. and their friends. We discuss movies, TV, documentaries, and the social, political issues reflected on by a piece of pop culture work. Too often, race, gender and other political and cultural issues are the subtext in pop culture. We seek to make the subtext explicit, question it and challenge it. The show is now in its third season, updated biweekly. We have interviewed guests ranging from science fiction writers, comedians, to scholars and journalists. Our goal is to make the most thought-provoking Chinese podcast about American pop culture. 小声喧哗是一档以女性视角来观察和批判影视文本如何塑造世界的播客。《小声喧哗》Loud Murmurs, 是一档以女性视角来观察和批判影视文本如何塑造世界的播客。文化和审美的自觉认同从来都是隐含在创造者对世界的想象中,而这样的想象催生出许多充满偏见的创造动机。这样的创造动机渗透在我们日复一日热爱的欧美电影中,美剧里,渗透在我们对于事物的认知中。今天,我们想要去挑战它。紧跟影视热点和时事的同时,保持了双周频率的持续输出。在制作节目时,小声喧哗经常邀请学者和影评人参与我们的节目,使节目的观点更加多元化和专业。小声喧哗致力在中文世界,做最好的流行文化播客。
