This week, the girls are two-stepping into the sweaty and sensual world of dance, as shown in cinema.
From Gaspar Noe's hallucinatory Climax (2018) to Soderbergh's surprisingly solid Magic Mike (2012), to the slow burn of Guadagino's first foray into horror, Suspiria (2018), the girls break down how each film uses dance to interpret the nature of power, passion, or performance.

This week, the girls are stepping into the minds of cinema’s most morally bankrupt protagonists.
From the sociopathic Alex in Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange (1971) to Lou Bloom's predatory ambition in Nightcrawler (2014), to the slow descent of Travis Bickle in Taxi Driver (1976), they unpack the significance of antiheroes as narrative devices and why audiences remain fascinated by them.

This week, the girls are exploring the glittering, the grotesque, and the deeply unethical.

This week, we're exploring one of cinema's most unsettling obsessions: cults.
Tune in to hear the girls discuss why The Master (2012) remains a masterclass in power dynamics, how Midsommar (2019) reinvented horror through pastels and flower crowns, and why the buzzy new A24 release Opus (2024) felt like an uninspired remix of the distributor's better films.

This week, we're slipping into the dark, dreamy world of the American Gothic. From the sensual psychodrama of Park Chan-wook's English-language debut, Stoker (2013), to the eerie expressionism of The Night of the Hunter (1955), and the lush Louisiana landscapes of Eve's Bayou (1997), the girls unpack how these tales of lost innocence, family secrets, and twisted inheritances capture the darker side of Americana.

In Episode 2 of Girls Talk Film, we explore the magic of fairy tale films: The Princess Bride (1987), a beloved cult classic filled with adventure, romance, and quotable one-liners, Tale of Tales (2015), a visually arresting and twisted triptych of classic Italian fairy tales, and Ever After (1998), a quintessentially 90s (and surprisingly feminist) take on the Cinderella story.
Join us as we discuss the timeless appeal of these stories and what, exactly, makes a great fairy tale film. Tune in as we summarize, analyze, and debate our picks for this week!
For our debut episode, we're diving into the world of movie musicals, dissecting three films that approach the genre in wildly different ways.
