Barbie may have a PG rating but how does a doll by Mattel challenge the patriarchy in the 'real world'? Kath&Mish get the inside mechanics of how blockbusters are released and the marketing machine that brings them to our screens. 
Katie Page is an events manager for Village Entertainment and a woman in film who brings her extensive knowledge to a discussion which extends beyond the celluloid of old.
With the phenomena of the concurrent campaign that mixed the testosterone-dripping Oppenheimer and the feminist-gaze  Barbie, we discover why audiences were bombarded with this new kind of PR 'roll-out'.
Where do women in our film industry sit today post #metoo,  are we breaking the patriarchal ceilings of old and are our film schools generating a new breed of women?
As a board member of WIFT (Women in Film & Television), Katie is unapologetic in her critique of the contemporary film industry and the current dilemmas affecting our future entertainment.

Kath&Mish have reached a certain age where some of the bands they grew up with now have gaps in their original line up.

For example, the Australian independent scene recently lost two musical heavyweights in the shape of Louis Tillet and Ron S. Peno due to ill health and the rigours of their vocation.

So what's it like to be a rock chick from that scene? Especially when you're in your fifties and still performing and writing, whilst losing people who matter to you deeply?

Kim Walvisch is co-lead singer and pianist with the recently reunited The Double Agents.

You can find their brilliant rock and roll here as well on Spotify.

Together, the gals speak of some of the missing, as well as incredible influences on their musical maturation and we've provided a Spotify playlist so you can join in...
