Barbie may have a PG rating but how does a doll by Mattel challenge the patriarchy in the 'real world'? Kath&Mish get the inside mechanics of how blockbusters are released and the marketing machine that brings them to our screens. Katie Page is an events manager for Village Entertainment and a woman in film who brings her extensive knowledge to a discussion which extends beyond the celluloid of old.With the phenomena of the concurrent campaign that mixed the testosterone-dripping Oppenheimer and the feminist-gaze Barbie, we discover why audiences were bombarded with this new kind of PR 'roll-out'.Where do women in our film industry sit today post #metoo, are we breaking the patriarchal ceilings of old and are our film schools generating a new breed of women?As a board member of WIFT (Women in Film & Television), Katie is unapologetic in her critique of the contemporary film industry and the current dilemmas affecting our future entertainment.Stranger Things’ subtitles team: https://www.vulture.com/2022/07/stranger-things-subtitles-captions-team-interview.htmlWift Vic: https://wiftvic.com.au/Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media: https://seejane.org/Conversations from the Being Seen on Screen Conference hosted at ACMI (with Geena Davis as key note speaker) are free and on YouTube: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLmVd3Ba8-qeBGBwQ-jJXWkkBxga2XN75-&si=fAluvWcKACz97I4u

Ep 44 : When The Musicians You Grew Up With Start To Depart...
Kath&Mish have reached a certain age where some of the bands they grew up with now have gaps in their original line up.For example, the Australian independent scene recently lost two musical heavyweights in the shape of Louis Tillet and Ron S. Peno due to ill health and the rigours of their vocation.So what's it like to be a rock chick from that scene? Especially when you're in your fifties and still performing and writing, whilst losing people who matter to you deeply?Kim Walvisch is co-lead singer and pianist with the recently reunited The Double Agents.You can find their brilliant rock and roll here as well on Spotify.Together, the gals speak of some of the missing, as well as incredible influences on their musical maturation and we've provided a Spotify playlist so you can join in...More Important LinksThe Double Agents Bandcamp PageKim's Website of Professional PhotographySublurb : Kim's Insta AccountBand Websites:Died PrettyLouis TilletDavid Sylvian Violent FemmesLaughing ClownsLana Del RayBeasts of Bourbon

Ep 43 : The Reckoning - assessing the true meaning of friendship Pt 2
Kath&Mish knew they'd only just got started on the complexity of female friendships in Ep 41, so they gathered their compadre Melissa, and have pushed into it even further.Asking each other: How far would you go to maintain a long term friendship?What does the parenting role do to the depth and variety of your female friends?Do our daughters and our mothers have vastly differing perceptions of grrrl power?And why do some women reject the bonds of sisterhood in the workplace?

Ep 41 : The Reckoning - assessing the true meaning of friendship Pt 1
For their guest it's a reckoning, for Mish more a 'sifting'.It's that moment when you have the confidence to look your often long term friendships straight in the eye, and ask: "Are we still doing right by each other?"Kath&Mish share some of those uncomfortable but necessary times from their life, and so does their guest Melissa (first name only) who returns armed with data and personal accounts.Have you done some 'sifting' yourself?

Welcome to From the Hip with your fabulously hip hosts Kath and Mish where we celebrate the ridiculous, the folly and the honesty of life-changing experiences of women in their 50s. An authentic podcast that speaks directly to you, however you walk through life. FTH is a celebration of women connecting via conversation. And just for the record we'd love men to listen as well! As women in our 50s who had major life changes, we felt there was a conversation to offer the podscape which celebrates all of our lives with candour and insight. There will be a plethora of content including Erotic Literature, Work Life, Pet Custody, Generations of Women, Online Dating and Offspring - in fact the content list is enormous. We do not claim to be experts and so from time to time will engage a fine range of guests who will bring their expert knowledge to the topic at hand.
