On Backtalk, hosts Amy Lam and Sarah Mirk discuss pop culture of the week, offering feminist analysis on the issues, people, and media that are making headlines right now.
This week, Amy and Sarah talk about the decidedly mixed response to Amy Schumer's new film Trainwreck. Then, they talk about misguided responses to #BlackLivesMatter, including Bernie Sanders at Netroots Nation and other people sticking to the line, "But all lives matter!"
Also on Backtalk, we talk about one thing we read, saw, and heard this week.
• Read: Sarah reread Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird. Maybe you've heard of it?
• Saw: Amy recommends the episode of Netflix show Chef's Table that's about Niki Nakayama.
• Heard: The hilarious satirical vampire film What We Do In Shadows introduced Sarah to folk singer Norma Tanega's song "You're Dead."
