Ep. 66 - Can a Woman Play 007? Can Scarlett Johansson Play Trans?

Flick Connection Podcast

Lashana Lynch is rumored to assume the role of 007 in the upcoming James Bond film which should be the finale of the Daniel Craig run of bond flicks. As always, the internet freaked out, however it's not likely that she'll replace James Bond in any way shape or form.
Additionally, Scarlett Johansson is under fire (again) after stepping away from a role in which she was set to play a trans man. After enough heat on social media one of the most famous female actors in the world turned down what might have been an iconic role. Now the movie is shelved and no one will see it as a result. What's worse, no one seeing a film that could introduce millions to a trans experience or having one of the most famous people in the world play a trans character even though they themselves don't know the trans experience?
