Marvelous! Or, the Death of Cinema

Birds of Prey, or I, Harley Quinn (feat. Fabiola Liaño)


Listen Later

We're cracking open our brief excursion into 2020 with one of the last movies to get a theatrical run before COVID shut everything down. Women finally got their own Deadpool starring and produced by mega-star of the moment Margot Robbie. Against her better critical judgement, Nicole enjoyed this one for the incredibly flawed and messy thing that it is because women can have a junk food treat sometimes. Cole and Stu basically hated it. To help us break down whether or not women have the right to be annoying, we're joined by returning guest and fellow Robbie Quinn enjoyer Fabiola Liaño (@fabiola_liano) of It's Giving Camp to discuss the pop cultural figure of Harley Quinn, Grace Randolph spreading misinformation, the inherent appeal of unruly women to female audiences, and how this movie botches adapting the Birds of Prey comic series and its associated characters into a terminally pop feminist narrative about emancipation and wearing cute outfits or something. Somehow we managed to discuss this movie for slightly longer than Furiosa, and all without yelling at each other because we're friends first and foremost.
