I'm Caroline and I'm 17 00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:05,400 Speaker 1: Kristin's Kristen. I love what we're about to talk about. 18 00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:10,040 Speaker 1: We're about to talk about spy ladies on TV and 19 00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:12,920 Speaker 1: I wanted to cover this topic because there was a 20 00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:17,240 Speaker 1: recent article on Slate asking why there are so many 21 00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:20,880 Speaker 1: women spies on television. But I also hold this topic 22 00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:23,800 Speaker 1: near and dear to my heart because I currently on 23 00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:28,360 Speaker 1: my shelf at home have every single DVD of um 24 00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:33,400 Speaker 1: usas the fem Nikita sitting there, and I'm washed and love. 25 00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:36,760 Speaker 1: I had no idea about the secret lovel with fem Nikita. 26 00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:38,600 Speaker 1: There's all this stuff you don't know about me kristin 27 00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:44,720 Speaker 1: Romance Nikita. It goes on and on. But I want 28 00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:48,960 Speaker 1: to talk about why spy ladies are so intriguing. But 29 00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,760 Speaker 1: I mean, first we should probably back up and talk 30 00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:54,520 Speaker 1: about the spy genre in general and how it got 31 00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:58,120 Speaker 1: its start and how it inspired so much film and 32 00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:01,800 Speaker 1: TV and all sorts of stuff. Yeah. Um, the spy 33 00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:07,400 Speaker 1: genre kicks off not surprisingly really with Ian Fleming, who 34 00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:12,400 Speaker 1: created the James Bond figure and dr No. The first 35 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:16,000 Speaker 1: James Bond movie premiered in nineteen sixty two, which really 36 00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:21,000 Speaker 1: kicked off the spy craze, and um, the peak of 37 00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:24,080 Speaker 1: the spy, the early spy craze, so nineteen sixty two 38 00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:28,840 Speaker 1: to nineteen seventy three. But it wasn't just serious spies 39 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:32,359 Speaker 1: like James Bond, right, Yeah, it kind of it took 40 00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:34,480 Speaker 1: a turn after a little while, once the once the 41 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:39,120 Speaker 1: spy craze emerged, they started being slightly less serious, maybe 42 00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:42,960 Speaker 1: kind of buddy comedies, buddy comedy type spy shows, and 43 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:46,320 Speaker 1: then there were parodies and and it keeps kind of 44 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:50,119 Speaker 1: of circulating like that. I feel like, um, now we've 45 00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:52,320 Speaker 1: kind of now we've kind of gotten back more to 46 00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:56,800 Speaker 1: the serious, serious spies. Although there was that movie remake 47 00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:00,600 Speaker 1: of Get Smart with Steve Carrell, so so it's it's 48 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:04,200 Speaker 1: cycling around, it comes and goes. Um, But we're really 49 00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:07,799 Speaker 1: here to talk about the women in these uh and 50 00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:15,320 Speaker 1: these spy films, especially women in spy shows on television. Right. Well, 51 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,800 Speaker 1: you mentioned the dawn of the spy craze, which is 52 00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:23,000 Speaker 1: in the sixties and seventies, and Tom Losanti and Louis 53 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:27,040 Speaker 1: Paul investigated this period. Um. They have a book called 54 00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:32,520 Speaker 1: film Fatale Film not not film film film film film fatale, 55 00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:34,760 Speaker 1: little play on words. I know, indeed, that's why I 56 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,800 Speaker 1: tripped over it. Women in espionage films and television from 57 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:40,440 Speaker 1: nineteen fifty two to nineteen seventy three, and they broke 58 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:44,280 Speaker 1: down the four types of women that most frequently occurred 59 00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:47,040 Speaker 1: in these shows. And movies. Now, keep in mind, this 60 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,320 Speaker 1: was before we had the butt kicking women of today, 61 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:54,760 Speaker 1: like like Nikita and like Piper Parabose character on covert Affairs. Um. 62 00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:59,480 Speaker 1: So there breakdown was with the following four women. Number one, 63 00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,600 Speaker 1: we have the hell full spy slash secret agent slash operative. 64 00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:06,040 Speaker 1: She supports the hero, the quote unquote hero because the 65 00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:09,240 Speaker 1: women aren't heroes yet um and sometimes pays for it 66 00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:13,200 Speaker 1: with her life. Oh. Then we have the innocent, who's 67 00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:16,240 Speaker 1: usually a civilian who inadvertently stumbles into the action, is 68 00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:19,400 Speaker 1: mistaken for a spy, has secret information the enemy is after, 69 00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:21,200 Speaker 1: or has revenge on her mind. I feel like this 70 00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:24,320 Speaker 1: would be me accidentally stumble into something really like guys 71 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:28,919 Speaker 1: this the party? Oh no, mafia. No. This reminds me 72 00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:32,840 Speaker 1: that innocent trope reminds me of Scarecrow, and Mrs King 73 00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:36,400 Speaker 1: reminds me of the Mrs King character. It was a 74 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:39,479 Speaker 1: Ganga family favorite. Okay, I uh what, I don't know 75 00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:42,880 Speaker 1: what that is. She was this She was just like 76 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:46,680 Speaker 1: an innocent, you know. And then she's got Scarecrow, this 77 00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:50,800 Speaker 1: handsome guy who happens to also be a secret agent 78 00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:54,239 Speaker 1: and has to protect her. But really the whole spy 79 00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:58,800 Speaker 1: thing is just um a framework for their budding romance, right, 80 00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:02,160 Speaker 1: as it often is in some of these movies. Yeah, okay, 81 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:05,120 Speaker 1: Well we also have the bad girl turned good. She's 82 00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:07,840 Speaker 1: usually assigned to kill the hero, but after seducing him, 83 00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:11,039 Speaker 1: they end up joining forces, and she typically ends up 84 00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:14,200 Speaker 1: being killed either by her former bad guy boss or 85 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:17,680 Speaker 1: by the hero himself. And that probably happened in quite 86 00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:21,400 Speaker 1: a lot of James Bond movies. Yeah, seduction, the sexy 87 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:27,160 Speaker 1: seductress is overwhelmed by oxytocin wants say intercourse, and the 88 00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:31,440 Speaker 1: bonding ensues and then she dies. Right, I hate when 89 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:34,240 Speaker 1: that happens. And then, last, but not least, we have 90 00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:38,240 Speaker 1: the villainous slash film Fatale, slash assassin, who, according to 91 00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:42,320 Speaker 1: these two gentlemen, is pure evil and she is sometimes 92 00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:44,560 Speaker 1: a double agent, so she's a double crosser and she's 93 00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:47,080 Speaker 1: trying to outwit the hero, and of course she fails 94 00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:50,680 Speaker 1: and she dies. So they always died, all of these like, 95 00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:53,320 Speaker 1: she's really good and she dies, she's evil and she dies. 96 00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:57,640 Speaker 1: It's just it just happens. So yeah, anyway, Um, and 97 00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:01,120 Speaker 1: one there was a quote too in the film Fatale 98 00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 1: that I thought, uh, summed up that period really nicely, 99 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,919 Speaker 1: they wrote, and this is in relation to the spy 100 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:11,400 Speaker 1: agent craze from six seventy three. They write, without the 101 00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:15,560 Speaker 1: women to allure, entice, seduce, and sometimes destroy our heroes, 102 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,760 Speaker 1: where would the entertainment be. For the most part, women 103 00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:21,080 Speaker 1: in the spy genre where used as mere window dressing, 104 00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,880 Speaker 1: but decked in some of the most outrageously mod fashions 105 00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:26,200 Speaker 1: and hairstyles of the sixties. It was hard, You're keep 106 00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:28,559 Speaker 1: hard to keep your eyes off of them, no matter 107 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:31,880 Speaker 1: how absurd the plot. So even though the women were 108 00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:37,120 Speaker 1: often second tier to these handsome action male spies, they 109 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:41,400 Speaker 1: were necessary to drive the plot arc exactly and had 110 00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:45,120 Speaker 1: a little eye candy. Sure thing. Now let's get a 111 00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:49,560 Speaker 1: little more serious, break it down, um. Rosie White wrote 112 00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:55,000 Speaker 1: a book called Violent Films another another play, Yeah Yeah, 113 00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:58,880 Speaker 1: Women as Spies in popular culture, and she writes a 114 00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:03,720 Speaker 1: lot about femininity and masculinity and how spying and being 115 00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:07,080 Speaker 1: under cover sort of plays into our gender roles, and 116 00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:11,320 Speaker 1: how female spies are supposedly you know, they're playing on 117 00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:16,720 Speaker 1: really feminine traits of like deception and using their charm 118 00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:24,200 Speaker 1: and beauty, you know, just exactly exactly, and and um 119 00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:28,320 Speaker 1: more masculine traits of of the action hero and being 120 00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:30,560 Speaker 1: brave and getting in on the action and all that stuff. 121 00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,920 Speaker 1: And um, she says that spying is an appropriate trope 122 00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:38,480 Speaker 1: to employ when discussing gender, as femininity like masculinity is 123 00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:42,120 Speaker 1: always undercover, and you know, female spies are allowed to 124 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:45,720 Speaker 1: be violent, which goes against the whole stereotypical understanding of 125 00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:48,840 Speaker 1: what it is to be feminine. And UM, A lot 126 00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:53,520 Speaker 1: of the commentary on the evolution of female spies in 127 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:58,640 Speaker 1: television and in popular culture UM relates back to this, um, 128 00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:01,960 Speaker 1: this gendered our argument and basically says that you can 129 00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:05,920 Speaker 1: sort of use that evolution to track social changes among 130 00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:10,400 Speaker 1: women's roles in the workforce and just in their daily 131 00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:15,040 Speaker 1: lives as well, sort of the tracking the empowerment of 132 00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:18,000 Speaker 1: women over the years. Yeah, and they talk. There's definitely 133 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:21,840 Speaker 1: a moving away from the seductress the film fatale of 134 00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:25,520 Speaker 1: villainous to the good female spy quote unquote and the 135 00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:28,640 Speaker 1: new woman who was often um, she's killing for the 136 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:32,559 Speaker 1: right reasons, for her government, for her country, for her agency, 137 00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:35,760 Speaker 1: whatever underground secret thing it might be, or the CIA 138 00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:40,080 Speaker 1: or whatever whatever that particular show is using. But um, Yeah, 139 00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:43,800 Speaker 1: this new woman, White writes is rarely depicted as maternal, 140 00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:48,280 Speaker 1: and she's more often situated within the professional workplace. So 141 00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:51,440 Speaker 1: it's a woman going to work and work just happens 142 00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:54,240 Speaker 1: to be a secret spy agency, which is super cool, 143 00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:58,760 Speaker 1: which means that it's really handy for TV shows to 144 00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:02,640 Speaker 1: have these these spy characters because they can just do 145 00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,920 Speaker 1: whatever they want because one day she could be at Langley. 146 00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:08,160 Speaker 1: The next day for the next hour, I don't know, 147 00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:14,040 Speaker 1: she could be in China or cord it's so easily 148 00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:17,720 Speaker 1: be in China in an hour because that's spy technology. 149 00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:20,560 Speaker 1: You can't also can't argue with spy technology, right, if 150 00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:23,000 Speaker 1: it doesn't make sense, it doesn't matter. It's for spies. Yeah. 151 00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,160 Speaker 1: I just watched The Guineas last night, and you know 152 00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:27,160 Speaker 1: that one kid has oil that comes out of his shoes. 153 00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:29,000 Speaker 1: I mean they might have something like that, but rockets 154 00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:30,480 Speaker 1: come out of their shoes. Yeah, and you can get 155 00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:32,960 Speaker 1: to China in an hour. Yeah, thanks to that. And 156 00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:35,800 Speaker 1: they're always pretty well dressed. But at the same time, 157 00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:38,600 Speaker 1: it seems like too there's a lot of conflict in 158 00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:41,120 Speaker 1: their personal life. You know, they're really busy and they're 159 00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:44,640 Speaker 1: obviously like well educated and smart and can shape shift 160 00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:49,520 Speaker 1: and speak different languages. But when shape shift, when the 161 00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:52,840 Speaker 1: when the mission is over, all they have is a 162 00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:56,760 Speaker 1: cat to feed. Ah dang, that's like a batman with 163 00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:59,000 Speaker 1: Cat Woman. She's not a spy, but she comes home 164 00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,520 Speaker 1: to her cats and way, that's not that's off topic, 165 00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:03,040 Speaker 1: but it made me think I kind of had my 166 00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:06,040 Speaker 1: own own theory about all this sort of riffing off 167 00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:09,839 Speaker 1: what Rosie White was writing about in Violent Films is 168 00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:13,840 Speaker 1: that it's also this whole spy genre as it applies 169 00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:16,800 Speaker 1: to women is also kind of I don't know a 170 00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:19,400 Speaker 1: vehicle for talking about that whole women can have it 171 00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:23,480 Speaker 1: all conflict of having like the killer cool job and 172 00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:25,720 Speaker 1: the jet setting and everything like that, but there always 173 00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:29,240 Speaker 1: seems to be some kind of some missing piece in 174 00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:33,080 Speaker 1: these characters lives. Unless your Cinnamon Carter from Mission Impossible 175 00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:35,080 Speaker 1: and she just keeps it cool all the time. She 176 00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:39,560 Speaker 1: never seen it. Mission Impossible in nineteen sixty six premieres. 177 00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:43,160 Speaker 1: That's when during that first spy craze, when things kind 178 00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:47,400 Speaker 1: of shifted back to from the farce with Gets Smart, 179 00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:50,560 Speaker 1: which came out in nineteen sixty five, back to Mission 180 00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:53,839 Speaker 1: Impossible and oh man. I watched a lot of Mission 181 00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:57,920 Speaker 1: Mission Impossible on TV Land and it's good stuff. Yeah, 182 00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:03,040 Speaker 1: I I have a much more limited experience with spy characters. 183 00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:05,880 Speaker 1: I pretty much was was La fem Nikita all the 184 00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:08,600 Speaker 1: way and I really haven't. I haven't identified with the 185 00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:11,439 Speaker 1: news by my sister in law. I got her into 186 00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:14,520 Speaker 1: the fem Nikita and then she started watching Alias and 187 00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:15,880 Speaker 1: she tried to get me into it. She's like, it's 188 00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:18,720 Speaker 1: just like the fem Nikita and some apparently saying some 189 00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:20,920 Speaker 1: of the characters came over, like the woman. If any 190 00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:22,400 Speaker 1: of you out there watched the fem Niquita, the woman 191 00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:25,000 Speaker 1: who played Madeline was also on the show, and then 192 00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:27,560 Speaker 1: then she was also on twenty four because a lot 193 00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:31,800 Speaker 1: of the fem Nikita Femniquita people went over to twenty four. Anyway, 194 00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:35,120 Speaker 1: I think, do you have a secret fan blog from Niquita? No, 195 00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:37,560 Speaker 1: but I did. Used to have a geo Citi's website. 196 00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:39,680 Speaker 1: Sorry you can't find a geo Cities got blown up 197 00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:42,800 Speaker 1: by the internet, um where I talked a lot about it. 198 00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:47,960 Speaker 1: He doesn't exactly fancy still exists. I don't know. I 199 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,320 Speaker 1: lost a whole piece in my life, but I feel 200 00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:53,520 Speaker 1: like we do need to go back before fem Nikita, 201 00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:57,439 Speaker 1: to those early sixties female spies, especially the ones in 202 00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:03,040 Speaker 1: The Avengers who not only um brought about the whole 203 00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:05,960 Speaker 1: female spine in a cat suit when when we had 204 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,240 Speaker 1: to start wearing leather cats suits because obviously it's so 205 00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:10,800 Speaker 1: easy to move around in an entire leather body suit 206 00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:15,080 Speaker 1: and it's breathable. I'm surely no sweating um. But a 207 00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:19,560 Speaker 1: lot of these uh commentators, but a lot of these 208 00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:24,559 Speaker 1: writers attribute m Appeal, Modesty Blaze and Mrs Emily Polifax 209 00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:28,920 Speaker 1: for really changing the narrative for female spies on television 210 00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:32,760 Speaker 1: because they were a lot more serious and yes they 211 00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:35,679 Speaker 1: were attractive and stylish and mad, but they were getting 212 00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:38,120 Speaker 1: the job done. Yeah, and they were emerging as real 213 00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:41,280 Speaker 1: protagonists and heroes rather than just being like the Bond 214 00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:46,280 Speaker 1: girls emerging from the surf and bikinis down Barry Um. 215 00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:50,400 Speaker 1: But yeah, so m Pele her character was brilliant, known 216 00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:52,920 Speaker 1: for her cat suit, and that show The Avengers was 217 00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:57,920 Speaker 1: stuff had a pretty good run. And while The Avengers 218 00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:02,720 Speaker 1: was set in the UK, we had Get Smart, which 219 00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:06,600 Speaker 1: was the American which was an American setting with agent 220 00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:11,319 Speaker 1: and I have his vivid memory of watching an episode 221 00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:14,640 Speaker 1: of Get Smart, and Agent ninety nine played by Barbara 222 00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:19,319 Speaker 1: Feldon is trapped in this telephone booth and she's wearing 223 00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:22,040 Speaker 1: a diamond ring. She's like, what am I gonna do? 224 00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:24,680 Speaker 1: I'm stuck in this booth. Oh yeah, I'm wearing a diamond. 225 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:28,520 Speaker 1: Diamond stronger than glass. So she cuts herself out of 226 00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:31,560 Speaker 1: Oh it was a sitcom. I'm covering. I'm covering my 227 00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:34,040 Speaker 1: my headphone because I don't want to I don't want 228 00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:35,960 Speaker 1: to hear this kind of that. But she cuts herself 229 00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:38,760 Speaker 1: out of it. And and that's when I learned that 230 00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:42,319 Speaker 1: diamonds can really get you out of a jam educational programming, 231 00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:45,079 Speaker 1: unless it's a blood diamond. Oh yeah, we don't want 232 00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:47,680 Speaker 1: to mess with that with the whole other podcast. Yeah, 233 00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:50,320 Speaker 1: she was. She was protecting the gentleman on the show. 234 00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:53,160 Speaker 1: Um a lot of the time. She had to sort 235 00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:55,920 Speaker 1: of rescue him from himself because he was kind of bumbling. 236 00:13:56,000 --> 00:14:00,880 Speaker 1: He was such a goof, goof. Uh yeah. And then 237 00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:04,679 Speaker 1: if we're going chronologically, we had La fem Nikita with 238 00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:07,240 Speaker 1: Nikita played by Peter Wilson. That show ran from ninety 239 00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:11,760 Speaker 1: seven to two thousand one. We have Alias, which is 240 00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:15,360 Speaker 1: right after that which Jennifer Garner played Sydney Bristow from 241 00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:17,080 Speaker 1: two thousand one to two thousand and six. And what 242 00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:21,080 Speaker 1: I thought was interesting was that there's this quote by j. J. Abrams, 243 00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:24,160 Speaker 1: who was the creator of Felicity, and he said that 244 00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:26,400 Speaker 1: he would have loved to make a show this is 245 00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:28,520 Speaker 1: pre Alias. Obviously, he would love to make a show 246 00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:31,360 Speaker 1: where Felicity was a spy. And so here she is 247 00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:34,280 Speaker 1: like this innocent little college girl in love with torn 248 00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:39,840 Speaker 1: between these two guys, Ben and Nol. Yeah, Been and Noll. 249 00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:42,400 Speaker 1: And you know how fun would it be if she 250 00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:44,600 Speaker 1: like went off and had spy adventures that her boyfriends 251 00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:50,720 Speaker 1: didn't know about? Would she wouldn't? But Jennifer Garner co 252 00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:56,560 Speaker 1: starred one season on Felicity as Knowles like former flame 253 00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:59,320 Speaker 1: and ended up marrying Noel briefly in real life and 254 00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:02,760 Speaker 1: really and then Netflix, we're putting together all the nieces 255 00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:07,640 Speaker 1: of this spy history almost sort of fit together. Um. 256 00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:09,080 Speaker 1: But yeah, so I thought that was cool, Like he 257 00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:10,600 Speaker 1: had it in his mind that he wanted to make 258 00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:12,720 Speaker 1: this spy show with this like sweet college girl, and 259 00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:15,880 Speaker 1: he and sunmaking a show Alias where a girl who 260 00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:19,200 Speaker 1: has just a woman woman who has just graduated college 261 00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:22,920 Speaker 1: or grad school or something, is recruited. Yeah, and she 262 00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:25,640 Speaker 1: she kicks, but yeah, wears wigs and stuff. And it's 263 00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:27,960 Speaker 1: on from two thousand and one to two thousand and six. 264 00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:30,680 Speaker 1: So yeah, in the early two thousand's, that's when it 265 00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:34,760 Speaker 1: seems like we have this, uh real shift in the 266 00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:39,760 Speaker 1: number of leading female spies on television. And I believe 267 00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:45,560 Speaker 1: it's Rosie White who attributes that to UM the earlier shows, 268 00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:49,160 Speaker 1: including Buffy the Vampire Slayer which came out it was 269 00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:52,080 Speaker 1: on from two thousand three, so there's some overlap, but 270 00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:57,160 Speaker 1: shows like Xena, Buffy, UM, even the remake of Charlie's Angel, 271 00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:01,120 Speaker 1: she says, and Laura Croft tamb Reader's care Her helped 272 00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:06,520 Speaker 1: fuel this new female action hero that then possibly bled 273 00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:11,000 Speaker 1: into this female spy genre, right, And Buffy is and 274 00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:14,400 Speaker 1: was so incredibly popular. I mean, I know, I watched 275 00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:16,520 Speaker 1: pretty much every episode until like I kind of stilly 276 00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:18,040 Speaker 1: towards the end, like she got a sister that she 277 00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:21,160 Speaker 1: didn't have before. Careful at no, I know, not not 278 00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:23,840 Speaker 1: to insult. Maybe I just don't grew it. I don't know. 279 00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:27,440 Speaker 1: But yeah, so there's like this whole slew of butt 280 00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:31,680 Speaker 1: kicking ladies, and well, I was just watching Felicity. God, 281 00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:35,600 Speaker 1: I love Hey, don't I loved Felicity. I watched that too. Yeah, 282 00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:37,360 Speaker 1: I was just thinking the other day that I would 283 00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:39,640 Speaker 1: I would watch all of that on Netflix again if 284 00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:43,120 Speaker 1: it were available. I don't know if it is, you know, well, 285 00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:46,120 Speaker 1: not that I have time, but if I did anyway. 286 00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:51,240 Speaker 1: So now, nowadays we have Covert Affairs starring Piper paarabout 287 00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:55,160 Speaker 1: as Annie Walker, and she is super undercover, like she's 288 00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:57,000 Speaker 1: the traditional thing we think of when we think of 289 00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:58,880 Speaker 1: a spy, like she works for the CIA. None of 290 00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:01,320 Speaker 1: her friends and family know that the spy. Yeah, they 291 00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:03,560 Speaker 1: just know she has this job like whatever, doing whatever, 292 00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:06,040 Speaker 1: working with the government maybe, But yeah, she actually has 293 00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:08,080 Speaker 1: to lie about being a spy. And there's all these 294 00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:10,320 Speaker 1: rules for her life, like she's very structured. She can't 295 00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:13,080 Speaker 1: date foreigners and you know, all sorts of stuff like that. 296 00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:15,720 Speaker 1: But she has great hair. Meanwhile, she was looks very 297 00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:18,000 Speaker 1: sharp in her suit. That's the thing with all of this. Uh. 298 00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:22,000 Speaker 1: I actually ran across a Marie Claire article that was 299 00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:25,119 Speaker 1: how to dress like a spy because they're always female. 300 00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:29,520 Speaker 1: Spies are always so well dressed on television exactly. We'll 301 00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:32,160 Speaker 1: get back, like, I can't go much longer without talking 302 00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:34,679 Speaker 1: about her. And then we've got to mention Sarah Walker, 303 00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:38,359 Speaker 1: the character in Chuck that's been on since two thousand seven, 304 00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:43,199 Speaker 1: and she kind of falls under that helpful spy operative 305 00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:46,280 Speaker 1: because she has to, um, she has to protect the 306 00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:50,600 Speaker 1: bumbling hero, right, just like Age nine nine. Um. And 307 00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:53,199 Speaker 1: then we have a show that's actually gotten a ton 308 00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:57,760 Speaker 1: of positive attention in the media, which is Homeland starring 309 00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:00,879 Speaker 1: Claire Danes as Carrie Matheson, and that just started this 310 00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:05,600 Speaker 1: season on Showtime, I believe, and her character suspects that 311 00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:08,360 Speaker 1: a recovered prisoner of war is an Al Qaeda operative, 312 00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:13,040 Speaker 1: and so she's trying to prove all this stuff. Meanwhile, 313 00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:17,200 Speaker 1: she has bipolar disorder, but she can't take medicine for 314 00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:20,119 Speaker 1: it because if it gets out that she's taking medicine, 315 00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:24,600 Speaker 1: then she could compromise her credibility and all this stuff. Okay, 316 00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:29,720 Speaker 1: so we're talking about, um, you know, femininity, masculine traits, 317 00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:33,159 Speaker 1: being a spy, being undercover, being tough and beautiful and 318 00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:36,520 Speaker 1: you know, having it all and um, what's interesting is 319 00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:39,800 Speaker 1: a look at taking a look at Nikita. Uh, particularly 320 00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:44,600 Speaker 1: Peter Wilson's character, because that's what I know everything about. Um. Anyway, Um, 321 00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:48,040 Speaker 1: she was taken straight out of jail, taken off the streets, 322 00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:51,600 Speaker 1: and taught how to be a proper quote unquote proper 323 00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:55,600 Speaker 1: woman because she was this really rough, like punky street 324 00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:58,399 Speaker 1: urchin type girl who was falsely accused of murdering a 325 00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:01,280 Speaker 1: police officer. So she's in al she's going to be executed, 326 00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:04,680 Speaker 1: and uh, they they somehow get her out of jail 327 00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:07,879 Speaker 1: and she wakes up in this cell and she is 328 00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:10,639 Speaker 1: trained how to be a killing machine. But she has 329 00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:12,840 Speaker 1: the character of Madeline teaching her how to be like 330 00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:15,280 Speaker 1: proper because you know, she's she's really rough. She's kind 331 00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:17,760 Speaker 1: of rough round the edges. She's taught how to do 332 00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:21,840 Speaker 1: her hair, to her makeup, were a sexy dress, charm, 333 00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:25,760 Speaker 1: you know, live if she needs to. Um. But yeah, 334 00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:29,800 Speaker 1: then she's also taught how to totally kill politicians and 335 00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:33,720 Speaker 1: you know, world leaders and whatnot. So it's it's interesting 336 00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:39,679 Speaker 1: the the the dichotomy. And similarly, Rosie White from The 337 00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:43,760 Speaker 1: Violent Fems Well from the book Not the Band Um 338 00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:47,960 Speaker 1: writes about Sydney Bristow from Alias that she represents the 339 00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:50,680 Speaker 1: new woman in the twenty one century economies of white 340 00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:54,520 Speaker 1: collar labor. She writes she's fetishized as a femay tal, 341 00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:57,560 Speaker 1: an active woman who kills yet also occupies the role 342 00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:02,440 Speaker 1: of central protagonist and world touchstone. Right, Yeah, because, um, 343 00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:06,840 Speaker 1: both of them are are sort of thrown into these situations. 344 00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:11,320 Speaker 1: And like Nikita, she is she's a tool of this agency. 345 00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:13,159 Speaker 1: So you know, we had kind of talked about like 346 00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:16,160 Speaker 1: the right killing for the right reasons earlier. So she's 347 00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:18,800 Speaker 1: a tool of this international agency that's meant to kill 348 00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:22,760 Speaker 1: bad guys and stuff. But she maintains her sensitivity in 349 00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:24,880 Speaker 1: that she's like, oh my god, I can't just kill 350 00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:27,159 Speaker 1: all these random people. And so she's sort of fighting 351 00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:29,680 Speaker 1: back against that, and she maintains her whole the whole show. 352 00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:34,160 Speaker 1: She's struggling to maintain her humanity and remain sort of, 353 00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:37,200 Speaker 1: you know, a woman underneath all of this like really 354 00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:40,320 Speaker 1: tough killing machine stuff. So and I think the same 355 00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:45,520 Speaker 1: is true for Sydney. Um, she was recruited into a 356 00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:50,080 Speaker 1: secret organization. She finds out that they're actually some bad guys, 357 00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:51,639 Speaker 1: some of the bad guys, and she goes to the 358 00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:54,400 Speaker 1: CIA with this information and it turns out that her 359 00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:58,080 Speaker 1: father is also in the secret organization, and but they're 360 00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:00,639 Speaker 1: both they both become double agents or her father's already 361 00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:03,399 Speaker 1: double agent or whatever, and they both come from like 362 00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:07,160 Speaker 1: really shadowy backgrounds. Nikita doesn't know her mother, hasn't seen 363 00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:09,200 Speaker 1: her mother since she was a child, and Sydney thought 364 00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:11,000 Speaker 1: her mother was dead or something, and her mother's actually 365 00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:14,000 Speaker 1: Russian spy. That's a that seems like Another commonality is 366 00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:18,000 Speaker 1: a strange relationship with one or both parental figures. Yeah, 367 00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:23,000 Speaker 1: or just like the hero of mythology or any story 368 00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:26,080 Speaker 1: across cultures, you know, the hero comes from shadowy backgrounds 369 00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:28,720 Speaker 1: to come up through the ranks and combat the status 370 00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:32,960 Speaker 1: quo and save the day. Yeah, and perhaps challenge gendered 371 00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:37,560 Speaker 1: stereotype in this case. Who knew. I'm getting all worked 372 00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:39,920 Speaker 1: up about about Nikita. I'm gonna have to watch that. 373 00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:42,360 Speaker 1: Which is I will loan you all of the seasons. 374 00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:45,760 Speaker 1: Please do use a new show. Um, well, I know 375 00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:49,280 Speaker 1: that we haven't talked about all of the uh, all 376 00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:52,560 Speaker 1: the female spy characters on TV by any stretch of 377 00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:57,640 Speaker 1: the imagination, but we just highlighted some of those leading ladies. 378 00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:01,080 Speaker 1: And I'll be really curious to see just from listeners, 379 00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:04,600 Speaker 1: what what women that we did not mention and shows 380 00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:07,040 Speaker 1: that we really did not UM didn't highlight if they 381 00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:10,000 Speaker 1: have a take on that, and also why other people 382 00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:14,120 Speaker 1: think that there are so many female spies on television? Yeah, 383 00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:17,120 Speaker 1: do you enjoy watching them more or less than male spies? 384 00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:20,480 Speaker 1: You know, do you like watching the ladies kick butt? 385 00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:24,000 Speaker 1: Because another contrast to UM, A lot of leading male spies, 386 00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:28,600 Speaker 1: a lot of times they are typically either they're they're 387 00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:34,320 Speaker 1: motivated because of some love, some long term like woman 388 00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:39,080 Speaker 1: who's either been lost or is haunting in some kind 389 00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:40,680 Speaker 1: of way. And it seems like a lot of times 390 00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:44,440 Speaker 1: with the female spies they're more romantically to t exactly 391 00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:46,440 Speaker 1: because if you look at the Michael character and the 392 00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:49,879 Speaker 1: fem Nikita, he had this great love that he lost 393 00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:52,239 Speaker 1: and he's like dead inside, so he might as well 394 00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:56,000 Speaker 1: be killing machine and then Nikita reawakens them. So whereas 395 00:22:56,080 --> 00:23:00,760 Speaker 1: women are often portrayed as these honeypots, these these spies ductresses, 396 00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:06,680 Speaker 1: in reality, perhaps you know, men are the motionally more vulnerable. Yeah, 397 00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:10,520 Speaker 1: they're they're a little damage, so they kill people. M hmm. Interesting, 398 00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:13,639 Speaker 1: so much to think about. Yeah, well, let us know 399 00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:16,800 Speaker 1: what you think about female spuzzle on television. Mom Stuff 400 00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:20,160 Speaker 1: at how stuff works dot Com is our email address, 401 00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:26,960 Speaker 1: and we got a couple of emails here to share already. 402 00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:31,080 Speaker 1: This is from Kevin about our romance novel podcast. I 403 00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:34,159 Speaker 1: heard you guys comment about amnesia related romance novels and 404 00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:36,960 Speaker 1: it reminded me of my friend Lara Krigger's deconstruction of 405 00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:42,359 Speaker 1: the Harlequin romance novel pregn Asia. No, I'm not making 406 00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:44,760 Speaker 1: that up. I wish I were. If you want to laugh, 407 00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:47,760 Speaker 1: here's a link to the summary of Lara live tweeting 408 00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:50,679 Speaker 1: the book while she read it. The plot is Da 409 00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:55,080 Speaker 1: Da Dat Special and if you want to read that, 410 00:23:55,160 --> 00:24:01,280 Speaker 1: go to storify dot com pregn Asia. It's incredible. I've 411 00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:04,120 Speaker 1: got an email here, also about romance novels, and this 412 00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:08,480 Speaker 1: is coming from Mallory, who has been reading romance for 413 00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:13,080 Speaker 1: about seven years and it's critically studying it in college, 414 00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:16,359 Speaker 1: she says her master thesis was on gender ideology and 415 00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:20,720 Speaker 1: romance novel heroines who cross dress. Listening, she writes, please 416 00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:23,320 Speaker 1: don't subscribe to the idea that romance is full of 417 00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:26,960 Speaker 1: heroines who are too stupid to live or who serve 418 00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:29,800 Speaker 1: as shells for the reader. There are plenty of smart, funny, 419 00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:33,280 Speaker 1: and high achieving romance novel heroines don't sell the genre short. 420 00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:36,600 Speaker 1: Women who read romance have to defend their reading habits 421 00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:40,720 Speaker 1: both on gender and class fronts, and the genre itself 422 00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:44,359 Speaker 1: tends to be pretty self reflective. Romance, for the most part, 423 00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:47,240 Speaker 1: is written by women, for women and about women, and 424 00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:50,400 Speaker 1: that maybe why women in particular find it so enjoyable 425 00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:53,240 Speaker 1: to read. There aren't many sources of pop pop culture 426 00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:56,120 Speaker 1: that put women as the heroes of their own stories 427 00:24:56,359 --> 00:25:02,400 Speaker 1: except maybe fe with that mom set.
