The Bechdel Test

I’m going to start tacking on to my “Just watched” movies an assessment about whether or not I think they pass the Bechdel test, which means the movie

a) Has two women characters (named, if anyone is named),
b) They talk to each other, and
c) They don’t talk about a man.

Just because it’s interesting to think about.
