The ‘Lady Problems’ Podcast, With 'Variety'’s Mo Ryan

‘Teen Vogue,’ ‘The Hollywood Reporter,’ and more

This week on “Lady Problems,” the MTV News podcast dedicated to pop culture’s treatment of women, Hazel Cills and Rachel co-host alongside Variety’s chief TV critic, Mo Ryan. First, Mo chats about her recent, thought-provoking piece on the progress and pitfalls of TV’s depiction of rape, including her thoughts on Game of Thrones’s deluge of rape scenes and Jessica Jones’s perspective-shifting treatment of trauma. We also discuss the internet’s irritating reaction to Teen Vogue’s scathing political op-ed. Later, we answer a Lady Problem for our co-worker, Holly, who cannot get over this THR article in which seven white dudes discuss race and gender.
