Dizi Friends Podcast

Episode Notes In the fourth episode (which is our longest episode yet but we promise it’s a fun one!) Maha and Eda talk about their favorite villains in dizis whether they are female or male. They also mention some ways in which villains are portrayed, which turns into a bit of a rant but we think listeners will relate to most of it. The rant goes from Freud to the Bechdel test and to many other areas about film-making but we think it’s important that the message goes out to writers about how women are portrayed as villains in some dizis. Hope you enjoy and please share your thoughts with us as we always love hearing from you and learning your thoughts.
