Not only did any female character talk with any other female, but the majority of the show focused on BoJack and Todd\u2019s Rock Opera. The episode\u2019s title was definitely misleading; I was looking forward to watching another episode pass the test!\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Other themes noticed:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The episode starts off with some sort of event being held for feminist Gloria Steinem. It was then revealed that this event was a giant roasting session and then people proceeded to ridicule her. I didn&#8217;t see the point of that scene; taking it out completely does nothing to the plot of the episode.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Not really a theme related to gender or media, but BoJack continues to be ruthless in the jokes he is saying in these episodes. Todd played his rock opera to BoJack and others, and BoJack commented by saying, \u201cThat was literally worse than 100 September 11\u2019s.\u201d That was a spit-take moment for sure. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\">Like I mentioned once above, this episode was very bland in terms of gender and media. The entire episode revolved around BoJack and Todd&#8217;s rock opera; even when they performed it in front of judges, the only female judge didn&#8217;t even have a name while the other male ones did. It was still a good episode, but I am disappointed because of the lack of material.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Season 1, Episode 4, BoJack Horseman: Zo\u00ebs and Zeldas &nbsp; Bechdel Test: Pass or Fail?
