Femme On

Alyson and Anjali Bhimani (actress from Ms. Marvel on Disney+, voice of Symmetra from Overwatch and Rampart from Apex Legends) talk about a scene from The Newsroom (watch the scene here on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wELqR2F5KjA) starring Emily Mortimer as Mac and Olivia Munn as Sloane. They talk about how not every important scene between two women needs to pass the Bechdel Test and how these two brilliant women show us why. 

P.S. It’s not covered in the episode, but Anjali and Alyson met and became friends in college, and they talk about their careers, love lives and everything in between, just like Sloane and Mac.
