This month - in the wake of the US election and the defeat of Kamala Harris - Steve and Emma look at The Contender (2000).
This is a film that is posited as a liberal feel-good film about making a woman the Vice President under unusual circumstances. It might be 'of its time' or it might be - as Emma argues - a timeless liberal man's idea of what a feminist film looks like.
