Walt Hickey, Rachel Dottle and Ella Koeze talk about their recent piece for FiveThirtyEight, "The Next Bechdel Test, and " which suggests current ways to call attention to inequality in the film industry. The Bechdel-Wallace Test asks: Does it have at least two named female characters? And accomplish those characters have at least one conversation that is not about a man? The Next Bechdel Test argues that since a third of the top fifty movies of 2016 failed the Bechdel Test,there should be revised, higher standards applied when looking at gender and racial inequality in film. This segment is guest hosted by Jonathan Capehart.
