Episode 3: Wonder Woman, Femininity and 'The Power of Love' movie trope

The Non Critic

The third instalment of the Non Critic is finally here! I sit down with Shani-Louise Osei (@slofred on Instagram) and discuss Wonder Woman which was released in June, and we give you in depth review of the latest DCEU project, as well as covering cheesy action scenes, holiday destinations, other DC films and how they pale in comparison and a popular Deus Ex Machina used by almost all movie genres! Stay tuned to hear more about female leads and femininity in leadership and how you can get two bonus clips of Shani and I having a more in-depth discussion on feminism and the political views of artists and whether this should have an impact on how we consume their art.
Don't forget to leave a REVIEW and RATING on iTunes or Spreaker and follow us on Instagram and Twitter (@noncritic), and let us know if you want us to upload those director's cuts!
