Raw & Ginger Snaps Oct 22, 2018

Show notes

In the fourth episode of Chick Flicks, McKenzie and Bridget discuss two horror movies about sisters: Raw and Ginger Snaps. Sisters are used to spooky effect very often in horror movies, probably because there’s nothing scarier than two women in cahoots with one another.

Mindhunter & Zodiac Oct 08, 2018

Show notes

In this week’s episode of Chick Flicks, McKenzie and Bridget talk about bro-auteur David Fincher. Both Mindhunter, a Netflix television show produced and partially directed by Fincher, and Zodiac, his 2007 movie, provoke questions like, “Why do men commit terrible crimes?” and “Why don’t any of these characters turn on a damn lamp?”

The Witch & The Love Witch Sep 24, 2018

Show notes

For centuries, witches have captured our cultural imaginations. The archetype of the witch can be a friend or a foe, green skinned and angry or bookish and heroic. From The Craft to The Blair Witch, depictions of witches in movies are diverse and complex, but they often touch upon the same themes: female sexuality, age, beauty, and power. In this episode, McKenzie and Bridget talk about two recent witch films: The Love Witch and The Witch.

A Quiet Place & Hush Sep 10, 2018

Show notes

Chick Flicks is for anyone that loves film but finds themselves thinking, “I wish this movie review had 100% more feelings.” In the first Chick Flicks episode, Bridget and McKenzie discuss the recent John Krasinski-helmed monster movie A Quiet Place and the 2016 home invasion horror movie Hush. Both films feature a deaf female character and rely upon deprivation of sound to create tension.
