Antiheroes on Film: A Clockwork Orange, Nightcrawler, Taxi DriverThis 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. It’s unsettling, it’s iconic, it’s not for the faint of heart. Don’t forget to like and subscribe for more movie reviews, film analysis, and pop culture commentary!

Wealth on Film: Metropolitan, The Wolf of Wall Street, ParasiteThis week, the girls are exploring the glittering, the grotesque, and the deeply unethical. From the debutante bubble of Metropolitan (1990) to the dr*g-fueled chaos of The Wolf of Wall Street (2013) and razor-sharp social satire of Parasite (2019), they discuss what it really means when cinema puts the rich - and the wannabe rich - under a microscope.

Sex Work on Film: Pretty Woman, Anora, PleasureThis week, the girls dive into three films that explore s*x work through radically different lenses: the iconic rom-com Pretty Woman (1990), the unflinching industry portrait Pleasure (2021), and Sean Baker’s Oscar winning Anora (2021).

Cults on Film: The Master, Midsommar, OpusThis 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.

American Gothic on Film: Stoker, The Night of the Hunter, Eve's BayouThis 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.

Fashion on Film: Phantom Thread, House of Gucci, ZoolanderIn this episode, we're taking a deep dive into three fashion-focused movies: Phantom Thread (2017), Paul Thomas Anderson’s elegant portrait of an obsessive artist, Zoolander (2001), the satirical cult comedy that gave us Blue Steel, and House of Gucci (2021), a true crime drama starring Lady Gaga that had all the ingredients - but left us questioning its taste level.

Fairy Tales on Film: The Princess Bride, Tale of Tales, Ever AfterIn 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.

Musicals on Film: Wicked, Singin' in the Rain, Dancer in the DarkFor our debut episode, we're diving into the world of movie musicals, dissecting three films that approach the genre in wildly different ways. From the spectacle of Wicked (2024) to the golden age charm of Singin’ in the Rain (1952) and the devastating realism of Dancer in the Dark (2000), we explore how musicals have evolved on screen. How do these films use music to tell their stories? Where do they succeed... or stumble? Tune in as we summarize, analyze, and debate our picks for this week! 2025-03-262h 01
