Bend it Like Beckham (2002) w/ Alexia Arani, PhD

“Anyone can cook aloo gobi, but who can bend a ball like Beckham?” This week we're talking about the teen girl movie that made all the athletic gals feel validated, all of the budding queer girls question their feelings on Keira Knightley, and gave Indian teen girls a chance to see themselves on screen as never before. We're joined by educator and podcaster Alexia Arani, PhD to break down this deliciously rich film. This is a real fun episode, especially because Harmony had no idea what the movie was even about because she had only seen very misleading poster art.
