Does #FunHome pass the #BechdelTest? I asked this question in the program notes for the @huntingtontheatre.bsky.social's production of this amazing musical. Hope you'll take a peek at my answer! It's on p. 10. And do check out this show! www.huntingtontheatre.org/whats-on/fun...
I got the idea for my latest novel while sitting in a cancer ward. The novel passes the so-called Bechdel Test. Click the link to learn more.

!["Tell me what you saw [inside Cassian, my boyfriend, whom you were just creepily putting your hands all over a minute ago]."
It's all about Cassian. I mean, he's the titular character, I get it, but aren't we ALWAYS seeing two women talk about a dude who isn't there? (Cassian just was there, but nevertheless; there's other things to talk about, I think even he would say)](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:svg6uktunzvrvsh6xmnalxp2/bafkreib57bde5vj66t6hh3iqot7n7hcoly3mv3eyqydhvmhl77iu3uxhri)
"Tell me what you saw [inside Cassian, my boyfriend, whom you were just creepily putting your hands all over a minute ago]." It's all about Cassian.

(Cassian just was there, but nevertheless; there's other things to talk about, I think even he would say)
It seems like some high-minded shit about humanity and The Galaxy, but they're just talking about what she senses inside Cassian, because, if you boil it down, it's just two broads talking about a dude.
Tell me you don't see it 😆
Here's a great example of why we have the #BechdelTest:
This sounds like high-minded editorializing on human nature & the spirit's indomitable will, but it's just Bix & crazy, white lady (who's also foreshadowing Mon Mothma's haircut in #ANewHope) talking about a dude (Cassian).
#StarWars #Andor
I think Andor could have and did pass The Bechdel Test at numerous other points, but this is fun because, since they're discussing a lesbian relationship (like, a real one, not, like, one, fake kiss they cut out of the Chinese release of one movie), it passes the Bechdel Test even though they're just talking about Vel's love life, so that's fun.
I love Vel & Mon Mothma's relationship, & I think, as a curiosity, this scene passes the #BechdelTest, even though they're discussing Vel's love life, bc they're speaking of Cinta, another woman.
2 named characters in #Andor, having a conversation about something other than a man 🤓
#LGBT #Feminism
I just watched Jennifer's Body for the first time last night; I'm pretty sure it passes the Bechdel Test. Because even though it seems like the two leads spend a lot of time talking about boys Jennifer is just being a foodie.
#CultClassic #BechdelTest #JennifersBody #HowToServerMan
#KPopDemonHunters passes the reverse #BechdelTest because at one point the TV show host commentates at length about hot sauce and Baby Saja replies "goo goo gaa gaa"
We need something like an inverse #bechdeltest for mobile phones being invovled in the plot of a #film or #tvseries
Stop it! It’s just lazy screenwriting.
While we’re are it, stop trying to do #computers - you clearly don’t understand them.

The amount of abuse I have gotten over the years for doing too good of a job. I have never ever been paid or promoted in a way that reflected my full worth. Forced to play small #bellcurve #bechdeltest 🌻

Thank God some white male actors finally got jobs.
#BechdelTest
You didnt ruin Taskmaster by making the character a girl
You did it by taking away every part of her personality and agency
Black Widow did not pass the #BechdelTest
Every characters' every motivation was about the one manipulative russian asshole
Even though it would never pass the #BechdelTest I would recommend 'Nostalgia', 2022, a searing unsettling film about the Camorra and lo scugnuzzi in Napoli, and the deadliness of longing for the past
The brutal crumbling decay of #Naples has never looked so good
Re the show "Too Much." "It fails the Bechdel test on every level. Every single female character is defined by her romantic relationship, there's no other reason anyone has. No one's focused on their friends, their careers, whatever." Leigh Sales #toomuch #lenadunham #bechdeltest #tvshows
Arte Doku : Brainwashed , Sexismus im Kino
gute #Doku über den männlichen Blick und wie er #Patriachat und #RapeCulture immer neu reproduziert. Den Blick auf weibliche Körper zum Objekt vollzieht - immer und immer wieder : und wie schwierig es ist den Kreislauf in der #Medien Welt und #Hollywood […]
... but were they talking about something other than a man?

Important #films that fail the #BechdelTest: The Godfather, Star Wars, Pulp Fiction, Shawshank Redemption, Citizen Kane, Apocalypse Now, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, Taxi Driver, Reservoir Dogs, Lawrence of Arabia.
The Top #Films from the last decade that pass the Bechdel Test include Mad Max: Fury Road, Hidden Figures, Black Panther, CODA, Turning Red, The Woman King, and showing women talking to each other about more than just men. 67% of films pass the test in 2025 which is an all-time high #BechdelTest.
Romantic films that pass the Bechdel Test? Try Portrait of a Lady on Fire, The Half of It, To All the Boys, Barb & Star, Love, Simon, Lady Bird, Rye Lane, and Booksmart. Women talking about more than just men. #BechdelTest #RomComs
A charming hidden gem thanks to MeTV #Returnofthevampire A #Bechdeltest passing movie with a noblewoman, scientist, vampire hunter and her RAF daughter in law in movie made in 1943. Remake this one with a modern budget and ya would be accused of #woke & #MarySue by usual weasels. Via #MeTV
#Elio (2025): A fun and visually dazzling movie, just the thing if (like me) you're tired of sequels and reboots and remakes, and want to see something original. (I'm not entirely sure, but I think it flunks the #BechdelTest.)
Oh this is good. Lillian + Miranda = ❤️ and 💪🏽 #bechdeltest #thearchers
Book cover for Judith Tarr's Isle of Glass (Volume One of The Hound and the Falcon), showing a woman wrapped in a purple cloth looking at a white-haired man with a cross around his neck
Book 61 of rereading/cataloging the home library - The writing drew me in, but I disliked how Alf was a brooding Gary Stu; he and Morwin felt needlessly reckless, and I would have liked more female characters aside from Thea to pass the #bechdeltest

It’s so nice when the coaching staff of a #woso team passes the #bechdeltest…
