Chick Flicks Podcast

You better watch out, he sees you when you’re sleeping, etc., etc. In this holiday themed episode of Chick Flicks, Bridget and McKenzie discuss Rare Exports and Black Christmas, two wonderful examples of how even the most wonderful time of the year can have a dark side.

In the sixth episode of Chick Flicks, McKenzie and Bridget cover two divisive horror movies, It Follows and Jennifer’s Body. Both of these films have intriguing things to say about the sexuality of teenage girls and they are more relevant than ever in today’s ongoing discussion of sexual violence and the #metoo movement.

In this episode we talk about the different depictions of trauma in two horror films, M. Night Shyamalan's Split, and Jennifer Kent's The Babadook.

Halloween is our favorite time of year so we're publishing this special mini episode to talk about our favorite Halloween movies, TV episodes, costumes, candy, and our worst fears!

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.

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?”

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.

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.
