The ensemble cast is about 40% female, with multiple scenes that pass the Bechdel Test. For example: Krysta Now and her three friends (all named) discuss current events and their work as porn actresses; neo-Marxist activists Cyndi Pinziki, Zora Charmichaels, Veronica Mung and a fourth woman (whose name I can't recall) are seen conspiring together; and Krysta purchases drugs from Zora. Possibly there are others, but I lost count after a while.

Several named female characters
Who occasionally talk

Sample
Shoshana Cox: I have a question for the Supreme Court. What happens when a woman has sex on a flight from London to Los Angeles, then takes the morning-after pill while flying across the time zone?
Krysta Now: I don't know.
Shoshana Cox: Then it becomes the morning-before pill.
Deena Storm: You are a genius.
Shoshana Cox: Hello. Can't answer to that.
Krysta Now: Holy shit. That is brilliant

Passes 3/3
