Filmotomy Podcast Episode 32: Meryl Streep and Strong Female Roles

After a week off, the podcast returns with a bang. Host and Deputy Editor Bianca Garner is joined by fellow Deputy Steve Schweighofer, regular film nut Rob Motto, and a special invite was accepted by Mark Ziobro from TheMovieBuff.Net. To celebrate Meryl Streep’s birthday, the gang try to encapsulate a quite magnificent acting career. Discussion then turns to the plight of the strong lead roles for women.
