Chicago (2002)
To quote Lady Gaga during her House of Gucci press rounds: "We don't believe in the glorification of murder. We do believe in the empowerment of women." That's right, passengers!

Leave Her to Heaven with special guest Emily Ollero Jones from the Female Driven Podcast
“There's nothing wrong with Ellen. It's just that she loves too much.” We watched “Leave Her to Heaven” with our friend Emily Ollero Jones from the podcast “Female Driven,” and we’re still trying to figure out a way to get Gene Tierney that Oscar. This Technicolor psychological thriller really has everything: melodrama, film noir, allusions to Greek mythology, and most importantly… that face! Not a soul can clock. Gene Tierney is really serving it up throughout this movie, and we just have one thing to say - congratulations on that face. Gene’s femme fatale portrayal of Ellen sets the standard...

The Bad Seed with special guest Emily Ollero Jones from the Female Driven Podcast
“Children can be nasty, don't you think?” We watched the camp classic “The Bad Seed” from 1956 this week with Emily Ollero Jones from the podcast “Female Driven”, and what will you give us for a basket of kisses? Of all the bad-ass bitches in cinema history, there isn’t anyone quite like Rhonda Penmark, played by Patty McCormick. Rotted to the core, Rhonda is a child serial killer and psychopath who manipulates all the adults around her. We wouldn’t have Damien Thorn from “The Omen”, Esther from “Orphan”, or Mac Culkin in “The Good Son” if it weren’t for Patty McCormack’s iconic...

Mamma Mia and The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants
Howdy, passengers! 'Tis the season for Mamma Mia and The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants! This episode was a lot of fun to record, in good part because Rachael doesn't like musicals (but does like ABBA). We try to decide which of the Pants girls each one of us is, and go down a Gilmore Girls rabbit hole. Fasten your seatbelts! We hope you enjoy this as much as Meryl seemed to enjoy bouncing on the bed in overalls.

Little Women (1994) with special guest Emily Ollero Jones from the Female Driven Podcast
"I go around throwing away perfectly good marriage proposals!" It's the holidays and we wanted some snow so we watched "LIttle Women" (1994) with Emily Ollero Jones from "Female Driven" Podcast and we're not crying - you are! We all grew up with the March Sisters and the Christmas season is the perfect time of year to revisit our favorite old timey feminist icons. We're spoiled for choice when it comes to film adaptaions of Louisa May Alcott's classic - but being the children of the 90's we are, we decided on the GIllian Amrstrong directed 1994 version starring Gen X...

Welcome to a Female Driven Summer of Judy! We launch our Judy Garland celebration with the 1946 under-appreciated classic, The Harvey Girls. To say that Judy is an American icon and one of the greatest triple-threat entertainers in Hollywood history is a massive understatement. Her beauty and talents are luminous, and the numbers and costumes in this golden age MGM musical are to die for! (One Miss Angela Lansbury in particular had us gagged from her first frame.)
