Asia Kate Dillon – “Beyond the Binary”

This week we'll be learning about non-binary gender identity and exploring how film and TV represent characters that are neither exclusively male or female. This episode is inspired by Billions star Asia Kate Dillon, who will join us in the latter half of the show (57:23) to talk about their groundbreaking character, how they approach their roles and why acting awards categories should be gender-neutral. THR associate editor Abbey White serves as this week's guest expert to share what non-binary representation has meant to their own identity formation and to teach us about the genres that – perhaps surprisingly – have done pretty well with gender non-conforming inclusion. ”Hollywood Remixed” is a topical, diversity-focused podcast from The Hollywood Reporter, hosted by Rebecca Sun. Each episode will be dedicated to a single theme – a type of character or story that has been traditionally underrepresented or misrepresented in pop culture – and feature an expert co-host as well as a special guest whose latest work exemplifies a new breakthrough in representation. We’ll revisit groundbreaking classics and introduce listeners to hidden gems, in order to better understand how film and television in the past has shaped progress in the present.
