Two years after Hollywood ousted the evil toad king Harvey Weinstein and we all learned that non-consensual bedroom mischief is bad, we live in a world without problems, everyone is treated equally and being a woman is basically the same as being a man. Except BETTER!
Our white knights Meryl Streep, James Franco and Oprah Winfrey have saved us from the pernicious tentacles of gender inequality and we can now enjoy our films guilt free!

Featuring special guest star Quentin Tarantino.
