TV – Ramona Magazine for Girls

A new webseries to get you through iso – comedian Hannah Camilleri’s ‘Little Shits’

Writing by Molly Mckew // When Hannah Camilleri’s Melbourne International Comedy Festival Show was cancelled weeks before it was due to go ahead, she got together with collaborator Nat Harris and a couple of her favorite actors and made a web-series instead. All about the intricacies of sharehouse relationships, Hannah’s sharp sense of timing and insight into human character makes the series an absolute joy to watch.

Writing and art by Seth Lukas Hynes // Gender is an incidental and usually irrelevant attribute of giant monsters, but in King of the Monsters (and the Japanese franchise), Godzilla and Mothra are explicitly gendered as male and female (respectively).

Writing by Auzeen Mendoza // At some point last year, I rewatched all of Gilmore Girls including the revival, and now more than ever, I was able to get most of the references. Seeing how I have progressed over nearly 20 years made me realize how powerful knowledge is.

Writing by Abi Turner // Elena being a feminist is something that I immediately found that the two of us shared. Throughout the entire show, her feminist beliefs, rants and behaviours remind me of our likeness to one another.

Writing and artwork by Seth Lukas Hynes // I enjoyed and recommend all of these creative works, but these recommendations come with heavy, uncomfortable caveats due to certain morally offensive elements.

Writing by Quincy Malesovas // Photograph by Leanne Surfleet // The show’s shallow depictions of binging and obsessive food behaviours diminish the struggle that disordered eaters face on a day to day basis.

Writing by Hannah Forsdike // photograph by Francesca Ciavarella // When women are misrepresented in movies and TV shows it’s not only insulting, but it’s also difficult to identify with on screen characters. Successful fiction should allow the consumer to make a connection to the narrative; it should be comparable to real life in some way for us to be able to make sense of the story and the characters.

Writing by Hannah Forsdike // Illustration by Ayelen Lujan // An interesting comparison between masculinity and femininity can be made when comparing Jessica Jones to her male Netflix/Marvel counterpart Daredevil. While Jessica Jones emulates a feminine fear of being controlled, Daredevil portrays a much more stereotypically masculine fear of a physically debilitating injury or disability.

Writing by Astrid Hickey // The Handmaid’s Tale along with the policies we’ve been seeing in the United States, is a wake up call to feminists, activists, and reproductive healthcare workers and organizations to keep fighting for women’s freedom of choice.

Writing by Natalie Harman // Gender was never addressed as another point of variation during regeneration in the classic series of Doctor Who. Off-screen was another matter. In 1980, after announcing he was giving up his role as the Fourth Doctor, Tom Baker added: “I wish my successor, whoever he or she might be, the best of luck.”
