Episode 7: Girlfails and Ingrid Goes West (2017)
Description
Welcome back to the club!
On this week's episode of Idle Film Club, we discuss Ingrid Goes West and our favourite trope in media: The Girlfail. A wonderful mélange of fantastically off-putting women awaits; think Euphoria's Cassie Howard throwing up on It's Always Sunny's Sweet Dee Reynolds.
Prewarned, this is a bit of a rambly one, so please stick with it. Plus the audio is slightly botched, which adds to the charm!
