What makes a female character “strong”? Ability to slay her own dragons (or make friends with them)? Suitability as a role model? Is it the fact that in the second decade of the 21st century, we are still talking about it? Reidan, Alina, and Kayleigh are still talking about it, at least.

In this episode, les Filles blow some covers and uncover secrets as they talk about spies. Sexy spies, techy spies, Russian spies, American spies, (they’re all made in Taiwan), extra-sexy British spies.

Executive Producer, and now official Anglo-Garçon, Kevin joins Les Filles to talk about childhood geeky influences. Which books made us what we are? Which was the first movie we saw in theatres? Which relatives fostered our nerdy pursuits? Tune in to find out!

The Olympics are over and Les Filles gather together to compare medal hauls and pull the rug off the various controversies and breaches of human decency that Russia has swept under there in an attempt to “clean up” before inviting the world in for your regularly schedule slopes-n-spandex extravaganza. Also, Kayleigh discovers that figure skaters have attractive behinds, and Alina and Reidan have many feelings and loud opinions about figure skating.

Les Filles take on le Barde! We crack open our Norton editions (finding Magic cards inside, because that’s how we roll) and lovingly sigh over The Hollow Crown on our DVD shelves. The Tom Hiddleston tag on Tumblr totally counts as Shakespeare research, right? (Research purposes!)

This month, Les Filles are joined by the charming Sarah Wendell, purveyor of quality man-titty. Do you read romance novels? Maybe you don’t, but think you’d like to. Maybe you’d just like to listen to us talk about the genre, its sub-genres, its realities and prejudices.

Autumn is the season of pumpkins, turkeys, and early cancellations—of which this season has had blissfully few. Sleepy Hollow, Dracula, Almost Human, The Black List, and… some other show… (I’m sure there was another show) have all premiered to varying degrees of success (degrees of success have been directly proportional to quality of crack and camp supplied by the shows). As always, Reidan, Alina, and Kayleigh have opinions and are not shy about sharing.

It’s our one-year anniversary!
Cleolinda joins us for dinner to talk about Hannibal. The puppies are adorable, the costumes are beautiful, the actors are pretty, and the food is people. The mushrooms are people, the sauces are people, the pork, and lamb, and the beef are all people. This show sure loves people. Yum!
Les Filles are rebels this month. They refuse to colour inside the lines. They refuse to confine themselves to a topic. Instead, they talk about a whole lot of things. JK Rowling wrote more books and is going to write a Harry Potter movie (squee!). The Emmy nominations have been announced (boo!). The Hugo Awards happened, there were TV shows this summer and there will be new ones this fall. Also, there are other podcasts you could listen to and enjoy, we have suggestions!

When you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be Lucy Liu. Using deductive reasoning, you must’ve surmised, dear listeners, that Les Filles are discussing the Sherlock Holmes oeuvre this month. Join us as we reminisce about our favourite classic adaptations and delve into the pros and cons of the new crop.
Hey, did you know that the term “smoking gun” comes from a Sherlock Holmes story?
