Writer/podcaster
Jordan Crucchiola, writer, podcaster and filmmaker
BJ Colangelo and The Final Girls co-founder
Anna Bogutskaya discuss the divisive reaction to
Promising Young Woman. Be warned: this episode is SPOILERIFIC from the very start.
Everyone has an opinion about this film. It's created huge cultural conversation. We discuss Cassie's rage, the choice to never show Nina, how the film is NOT a rape-revenge movie and how it tackles internalised misogyny and rape culture.
TW: there is discussion of sexual assault and rape.
Jordan's thread collating all takes on
Promising Young Woman can be found
