As Americans, we don't really get the whole British boarding school deal, but apparently at one point they were full of facades and jealousy, teenage girls bonding and bullying, and Eva Green being fabulous but also maybe unhinged. Cracks didn't make much impact on its release in 2007, but we make the case for its reappreciation.

Episode 06.08: David Lynch
We thought we'd take an episode to look at the work of the recently departed David Lynch and each of us brought one of our favorites to talk about: Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me and Mulholland Drive. Just a bunch of women trying to figure out what's real and what's not and how to live with it anyway, so if that's your idea of a good time, come on in.

Episode 06.07: Fréwaka
We love it when a film hits squarely in our personal center of interest and Aislinn Clarke nailed it. We discuss Fréwaka and its themes of historical and generational trauma, women at the mercy of fate, and some good old-fashioned evil fae.

Episode 06.06: Antichrist
We're perpetually here for a bad time and there are few worse times than Antichrist. Join us for a discussion about Lars von Trier, excavations of cultural misogyny and pretty much all the content warnings.

Episode 06.05: Hour of the Wolf
Bergman March continues with what is often regarded as Ingmar Bergman's only "real" horror film. We might dispute it's his only one, but not that this one goes to some horrific places. We discuss the figure of the tortured, self-absorbed artist, women's sustaining labor and if it's possible for artists to make the right bargains with the world.
