We've encountered two other cinematic takes on Catwoman since the 1992 Tim Burton-directed film. But Michelle Pfeiffer's hyper-sexual and winking performance is still as fresh as ever in this convoluted Christmas story, where its trio of villains outshine Michael Keaton's caped crusader.
Plus, meet the East Coast's utmost Catwoman expert David Archer. He walks us through the history of the character from her inception to her ever-evolving costumes and motives for vengeance...2014-06-0559 min

Bonnie & MaudeEp. 21 - The Craft // GUEST: Lyra HillTo those for whom the phrase "light as a feather, stiff as a board" sends shivers up the spine: our newest episode deconstructs The Craft -- a staple of '90s slumber parties and one of the most problematic portrayals of teen girl empowerment.
We speak to Lyra Hill (previously a guest for our Cabaret discussion) about her thoughts on The Craft from the perspective of a Pagan, a feminist, and a filmmaker. Lyra is in the final stages of completing the short film Uzi's Party (teaser) and it was a thrill to get a first look at the pr...2014-05-121h 06
Bonnie & MaudeBonBon - Dave Itzkoff on 'Network'In a further exploration of the 'working women' conversation started in Episode 20, Eleanor speaks with Dave Itzkoff, author of the revealing new book Mad as Hell: The Making of Network and the Fateful Vision of the Angriest Man in Movies. He shares some of on- and off-set anecdotes about screenwriter Paddy Chayefsky and star Faye Dunaway, and they ponder the lasting impact of Network, whose commentary on women in the workplace preceded concepts of "lean in" and "glass ceiling."2014-04-2237 min
Bonnie & MaudeEp. 20 - His Girl Friday + Network // GUEST: Meg Sweeney LawlessMany female movie characters have jobs. But what makes a "working woman" movie? Along with our guest, writer/producer/dramaturge Meg Sweeney Lawless, we focus on two unforgettable, hard-nosed working ladies in two classic films: His Girl Friday (1940) and Network (1976). Both films are dark comedies that offer behind the scenes looks at the world of news media, but we leave feeling very differently about its female leads -- why? What makes Rosalind Russell's fast-talking dame so different from Faye Dunaway cool and calculating Diana? You'll be surprised to discover that they have more in common than a first glance would sugge2014-04-1449 min
Bonnie & MaudeEp. 19 - The Woman Chaser // GUEST: Caroline GolumHated by most critics upon its 1999 release, The Woman Chaser is a lost gem, available only on VHS or bootleg. Patrick Warburton (Seinfeld, The Tick) is a car salesman craving artistic release as an independent filmmaker in this neo-noir that walks the line between comedy and tragedy. The film hits every mark on the misogynist checklist in its path to illustrate masculine discontent.
Despite its many wrong turns, Kseniya and Eleanor were mostly charmed by the unusual tale of a cinema-loving lug and were intrigued by our guest Caroline Golum's surprising personal connection to the film. Viewing it...2014-03-037h 19Bonnie & MaudeEp. 18 - FrozenWe begin another snowy month in Brooklyn with a discussion of Frozen, the latest Disney animated film to take the box office by storm. As expected, Frozen has many familiar elements -- songs, orphans, princesses, endless mention of "true love," and an adorably goofy sidekick -- but the story (the first Disney animated feature to be directed by a woman!) also plays on what we know about fairy tale tropes and twists them in a direction that is focused more on sisterly love rather than romance.
Kseniya & Eleanor discuss their childhood impressions of Disney films, their surprised enjoyment of Frozen...2014-02-0350 minBonnie & MaudeEp. 17 - Drop Dead Gorgeous // GUEST: Rommel WoodWe discuss Drop Dead Gorgeous (1999), a darkly hilarious mockumentary about a small town beauty pageant that turns violent. Kirsten Dunst once again flexes her comedic muscles, alongside Ellen Barkin and Allison Janney as "the white trash Laverne and Shirley." Amy Adams tries out the sexpot character long before the success of American Hustle or the awkwardness of Cruel Intentions 2. A terrific female cast all around and an unusual script by Lona Williams, who we hope to see more from in the future.
Joined by guest Rommel Wood, potentially the movie's #1 fan (she has pretty much the entire film memorized!), El...2014-01-0937 minBonnie & MaudeEp. 16 - Women in Space // GUEST: Matt CarmanThe final frontier: women surviving space by way of fearlessness, wit, sex, and a prominent stripping scene. In one of our laugh-iest episodes ever, Eleanor and Kseniya discuss Gravity (2013), Alien (1979), and Barbarella
(1968) with I Love Bad Movies co-editor Matt Carman. We debate whether Ripley is a cat lady, the concept of the "final girl," and Sandra Bullock's frequent vehicle troubles.

In addition to a chat about Orange Is The New Black, Kseniya brings A League of Their Own, Marie Antoinette, Magic Mike and Dogfight to the table, while Eleanor talks In A World, Bringing Up Baby, and All That Jazz.

Star Natasha Lyonne, director/writer Tamara Jenkins, co-star Kevin Corrigan and cinematographer Tom Richmond joined us to reminisce about the highs and lows of making a picture that was, and still feels, very personal to them all. Hearing this conversation is like eavesdropping on a family reunion.

This is a film about the rocky terrain of female friendship as well as what it means to be alone. We talk about why we love Frances so much, despite her flaws and poor decisions. (It might have something to do with her death-defying ability to pee on Subway tracks.) And we take a look at whether Frances Ha bears any of the cynicism found in Baumbach's past works, and suggest other great films that explore...2013-06-2938 minBonnie & MaudeEp. 10 - Cabaret // GUEST: Lyra HillWhat good is sitting all quiet in your room? / Come hear the podcast play. / Life is a Cabaret, old chum, / Download our episode 10!
This week we're joined by Chicago artist, performer, projectionist, film archivist and movie lover, Lyra Hill.
From her earliest memories of watching a broken Costco DVD of Cabaret, Lyra has been fascinated with the Bob Fosse--directed and choreographed musical. Eleanor and Kseniya had never seen it until now, but through a discussion of the grungy aesthetic, the love triangles and the sinister historical context that hangs over this twisted romance, they come to appreciate it as well.

In part 2 of our Season 2 recap, we are joined by Queerty television blogger Chris J. Kelly to review the fluctuating emotional ages of Hannah, Marnie, Jessa, and Shoshanna.
We also take a moment to discuss how believable we found the OCD revelation, why we're so obsessed with that Patrick Wilson episode, and why the 'man running to the rescue' component of the finale may not have been so bad.

In this episode we continue our conversation with an overview of Season 2 of Girls, sharing how our opinions have changed, evolved, or stayed the same.

In many ways, this is the ultimate coming-of-age film, as young Charlotte (Ryder) deals with her eccentric mother (Cher), her major crush on the cute boy up the road, and her intense Catholic guilt. We both relate to her, in some ways more than others, and this movie's collection of quiet, hilarious moments is what keeps us watching it again and again.

Today, we celebrate Valentine's Day with our first-ever live episode recording where we take a closer look at the 1976 horror classic Carrie. Join us and our special guest Tenebrous Kate (Ultra Violent Magazine, I Love Bad Movies) as we giggle and cry our way through this twisted Cinderella tale. We deconstruct why this movie isn't just an American treasure, but also an accurate portrayal of teen girl friction in high school.

Does Meg Ryan's flat, brown hair obscure her image as America's innocent sweetheart?
Is Jennifer Jason Leigh her sister or friend?
Why are all the men in the movie so obsessed with marriage?
Does it matter that we spoil the killer's identity?
All will be revealed in Episode 6!

Hedren // GUEST: Elliott KalanWe explore Alfred Hitchcock's classic film The Birds, as well as the recent HBO film The Girl -- a behind the scenes look at the director's messy and often abusive relationship with the star of The Birds, Tippi Hedren. What makes The Birds so scary? Does Hitchcock's gross off-screen personality affect our appreciation for his art? We'll also check in with Tippi all these years later, whose squelched acting career made way for her life's work operating the Shambala Preserve, a shelter for big cats.

Our Episode 4 discussion on Marilyn Monroe is a two-parter. Sure, we start out discussing The Seven Year Itch and Don't Bother to Knock, but a conversation about the icon can never be about the actress alone and quickly advances onto the meaning of celebrity, beauty, modern-day equivalents of Marilyn, and traditional vs. natural acting.
