The Queen of Villains: Review & Discussion [FREE] Oct 25, 2024

Show notes

In this free podcast from the POST Wrestling Café, Karen Peterson (POST Puroresu) and JP Houlihan (GRAPPL Spotlight) review Netflix's The Queen of the Villains, the historical dramatic presentation of the rise of Dump Matsumoto. The series focuses on the evolution of Kaoru Matsumoto, a young wrestling hopeful to one of the most hated wrestlers in Japan. Kaoru's turbulent home life, the meteoric rise of The Crush Gals, the machinations of the Matsunaga Brothers, and the toxic hierarchical dojo culture all feed into the powder keg that propels Matsumoto into darkness.

Karen and JP also discuss the stereotypes and expectations of women in Japanese society, entertainment, and sports, taking off the wrestling fan hat and viewing the series from a casual viewer perspective, the involvement of Chigusa Nagayo and the MARVELOUS wrestlers in the training of the talent, as well as idol culture, parasocialism, approaching the series from the times of the 70's and 80's, and the complicated ties of wrestling to the entertainment industry.
