The Takeaway

There are several movies coming out that are either targeting women, or depicting them in ways that have critics up in arms. They range from the chick flick “What to Expect When You’re Expecting” to the “The Dictator,” which stars Sacha Baron Cohen as a misogynistic totalitarian leader.  
Rafer Guzman and Kristen Meinzer, The Takeaway’s Movie Date team, are here as usual. In addition to hosting the podcast, Rafer is film critic for Newsday and Kristen is the culture producer for The Takeaway.  Your can subscribe to Movie Date at themoviedate.org.
