Summary

We all need to worry about laws impinging on our right to keep our data, and specifically our phones, private. That's according to Kate Stonehill, director of new feature documentary Phantom Parrot. Jen got on the Zoom with her to talk about draconian laws, data security and what the hell a parrot has to do with any of this. And for pudding/dessert/afters*, Mickey's chatting to Tat Effby, a woman with a dry sense of humour and moist sense of cake, who’s taking TikTok and Instagram by sweet, delicious storm as The Caketoonist. In Rated or Dated, we've big love for Walters and Caine, plus Hannah's feeling nostalgic for polyester bridesmaid dresses, as we watch 1983's Educating Rita. And in Sexism of The Week, Mickey's got bad news for women wanting a pay rise. * you do you. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/standardissuespodcast. Hosted on Acast.

0:00.0	Hello and welcome to episode 260 of The Standard Issue, Podsy. I'm Mickey Noonan and I have
0:18.8	already seen way too much Miranda Hobbs.
0:22.7	Remind me who Miranda Hobbs is.
0:24.7	She is a character in initially sex in the city and now in the sequel to spin-off.
0:31.2	But I guess it's not spin-off because it's all the same people and just like that.
0:35.2	I know who Miranda is.
0:36.5	The Hobb's bit confused me.
0:37.9	Full name because I'm disappointed with her having ever been.
0:41.1	Too much. Screen time too much body.
0:43.6	Not just too much. In the brine soul way. It's too much.
0:47.9	I feel gynecologically intimate with her now, with Cynthia Nixon, in a way that I had no
0:54.2	desire or need to be. It's an interesting dilemma because I kind of understand.
0:58.7	I've only watched the first 20 minutes of the first episode as well and then I was like,
1:02.6	blind me. But I've seen Charlotte's tits, I've seen Miranda's tits, I've seen more than her tits.
1:08.1	I get that it maybe feels empowering to have these women in their fifties, actors in their fifties,
1:14.2	just their bodies. But who is this for?
1:18.3	Are they in any way representative of ordinary 50-year-old tits?
1:23.8	I would say Cynthia Nixon's, yes. Fair news.
1:27.5	Although she was also in a flotation tank, so they were getting a little bit of help from some water.
1:31.9	Okay, mental note. Actually, I don't know why I'm saying that because my tits are great.
1:38.9	They are great.
