The Bechdel test isn't meant to be a measure of whether or not a movie is feminist, though. It's a way of observing the trends, not the specific instances. Some movies with great female characters don't pass or only barely pass the Bechdel test, and some movies that aren't remotely feminist do manage to pass it.

But the number of movies that pass the Bechdel test versus the number that pass the reverse Bechdel test (at least two male characters, who talk to each other, about something other that women) shows the trend of how little female presence there is overall in our media. Almost every movie passes the reverse Bechdel, whereas a majority of movies don't pass the Bechdel.

[(Anonymous)]

The only film I can recall ever seeing that came even close to failing a reverse Bechdel is My Little Pony: The Movie, and even that eventually managed a pass about an hour into its 90-minute runtime.

[illiadandoddity]

Wall-E technically fails both the Bechdel and the reverse Bechdel, because the robots don't really have any gender, and the only two humans who talk to each other are a man and a woman.

The people in the floating chairs are "skyping" (whatever their equivalent is) with their friends, I'm not sure, does the Bechdel test only refer to real life conversations?

[illiadandoddity]

I don't count those any more than I would count background characters in an establishing shot of the restaurant, because it's basically white noise.

[(Anonymous)]

You're forgetting the "named" part and the "Other than about a man/woman" part. "background people in chairs" having unknown conversations fails the first and has no way to verify the second.
