103 - Promising Young Woman with German Villegas & Veronika Ilich: Doomsday for Soft Bois
Play • 1 hr 33 min

***content warning for conversations regarding sexual violence throughout the episode***

German Villeagas and Veronika Ilich from the Modern Manhood podcast's Cold Takes join me to discuss Emerald Fennell's much-praised rape-revenge thriller Promising Young Woman starring Carrey Mulligan. We talk about the film's representations of rape culture, the virtues and pitfalls of Cassie's vigilante justice, and explore the film's controversial ending. 

We also get into a Washington Post article that both downplays sexual assault and compares it to Capitol Riot hysteria. Great!
