Michelle Andrews· Host0:12
What's more common in this world?
Zara McDonald· Host0:13
We have more women over the age of 60 than men named Chris.
Michelle Andrews· Host0:16

bringing the studies to our pre-dinner mince.
Michelle Andrews· Host0:30
This was a study published, um, or written about, reported by, in Variety this week. "A new study found Hollywood films were more likely to star a man named Chris than a woman over the age of 60."
Zara McDonald· Host0:43
Just incredible stuff.
Michelle Andrews· Host0:44
That's depressing.
Zara McDonald· Host0:45
Yeah.
Michelle Andrews· Host0:46
I actually can't think of many movies starring a woman over the age of 60.
Zara McDonald· Host0:52
You've got your key women. You've got your Helen Mirren, your Mel- Meryl Streeps, your Emma Thompsons.
Michelle Andrews· Host0:56
Mm.
Zara McDonald· Host0:56
Your Olivia Colmans.
Michelle Andrews· Host0:58
But then I can think of many characters named Chris.
Zara McDonald· Host1:00

Michelle Andrews· Host1:01
I don't know, I feel like- Wait, is it characters named Chris or actors named Chris? Oh.
Zara McDonald· Host1:06
I mean- Don't expose me for only- [laughs] ...
Michelle Andrews· Host1:08
reading the tweet and not the... "Looking at the 100 highest grossing films in 2023, 2024, and 2025, six featured a man named Chris in the lead." I think it's saying the character is named Chris.
Zara McDonald· Host1:21
I'm thinking it's saying the actor.
Michelle Andrews· Host1:23
[laughs] Mm, I- Yeah, I thought actor I love one of the quotes in this piece, "Women are half the population." Yeah.
