Holy shit! Look who's been beat with the **cutie-pie stick! Is that you, watcher?? This week we're taking a cruise down the I-5 with Reese Witherspoon in this 90s white trash reimagining of Little Red Riding Hood. The 1996 film Freeway seems too silly to be taken seriously, but we look at all the ways this campy over-the-top film tackles real world issues of women born with the odds stacked against them. By the end of the film, Reese Witherspoon takes her place as one of our founding mothers and Queefer Sutherland gets exactly what he deserves!
