Episode # 37 : In the studio The Squeamer goes it alone…but yet, not quite…her chats with 2 AWESOME Dudes include :

Richard Sowada from ACMI head of film programming, and Steve Darlington/Dee from The Message ( The MESSAGE stands for Men Ending Slurs and Sexist Attitudes in the Gaming Environment.)

‘The MESSAGE is an internet-based campaign designed to provide a rallying point for men who want to make gaming inclusive for women. We seek to support and coordinate the efforts of men who work to reduce the hostility towards women in gaming, and to educate and assist men in changing their own behaviour.

We believe that having an iconography to focus these efforts will make it easier for that work to be visible, and collaborative, and guide others towards it. Together, we can make gaming a better place for everyone.’

The Squeamer also spoke to with Richard Sowada from ACMI about THAT trilogy, the famous and beautiful and influential and awarding winning Godfather trilogy to play very soon at ACMI !

‘The Godfather is a film series consisting of three feature-length crime films directed by Francis Ford Coppola based upon the novel of the same name by Italian American author Mario Puzo. The first two films of the series were written, filmed, and released just years apart in the 1970s, while the third installment didn’t come out until 1990. They were distributed by Paramount Pictures.’
