    FFR 247: Moonstruck featuring Anita Sarkeesian

    We’re wrapping up this season of FFR just as we started it, with Anita Sarkeesian returning for an episode where she and host Kat Spada talk about a classic movie they both love and could watch over and over. But while this season’s first episode featured Patrick Swayze in Dirty Dancing, this week we’re focusing on a more unconventional romantic leading man—but one that has nevertheless stood the test of time—Nicolas Cage opposite Cher in Norman Jewison’s Moonstruck.

Excellent show that has changed

It’s difficult for me to accept how much this show has changed over the years. I miss the video game reviews and discussion and I’m disappointed that they don’t cover games anymore—it wasn’t just Carolyn, Anita used to be a gamer too. The only time they’ve covered any games in the past year or so, they had random people on discussing random games that no one cares about.

If I had to give the podcast a rating, I’d say now that Kat Spada is on board, it’s back up to a 4, but for me the average is 3 or 3.5. Some of the good faith criticism in these reviews is correct in characterizing the frustration with this show. So why the 5 stars? Because worthless pieces of trash give it only 1 star out of hate and this is to make up for that.
