Episode 12: The Women of We Bought A Zoo w/ Ena Da - a podcast by Zach Silberberg

This week, Ena Da joins the show to talk about all the ways We Bought A Zoo fails its female characters. Why are the male characters so much more developed? Why do so many women’s storylines revolve around men? Does the movie pass the Bechdel Test? How many of the animals are female??? We Bought A Zoo (2011) is decidedly not a feminist masterpiece.

The intro music was written by R.T. Koeberl, and the intro vocals are by Sidney Gish. Outro music for this episode is “Anemone Song” by Ena Da.

You can find more info about the Dartmoor Zoo on their website.
