A Star Is Born and Femininity with Josie Robs and Atlanta Cobb

This week I was slightly sick, so a very relaxed episode with Josie and Lan exploring the nuances of A Star Is Born has come your way. This episode is about A Star Is Born, the film starring Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper. We discussed whether the film complicates an old view of womanhood, as suggested in the New York Times article, and whether Ally could be seen to have agency or is just a puppet of the narrative that tell's Jackson Maine's story. Josie Robs works at Dice, an ethical ticketing and live event app. Atlanta Cobb works in artist management.
