What is a ‘cool girl’ character and what kind of movies do we see her in? In this episode, we talk about how Aster fits into this trope and why writers should stop writing their female characters this way. We chat about whose perspective we are seeing Aster through, and why that might make Aster both different and similar to other cool girls. Lastly, we answer why we think that the cool girl trope is problematic and how it influences real life experiences.
