This week, the girls are getting vengeful. Join them as they deep-dive into the blood-soaked Viking epic The Northman (2022), the twisted Oedipal tragedy Oldboy (2003), and the Dolly Parton-led workplace comedy 9 to 5 (1980).

This 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.

This 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.

In 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.

In 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 st...
For 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...
