Citizen Dame

This week, the Dames close out Noirvember with Gene Tierney and her iconic film noir roles, including deep dives on the nature of perception and the femme fatale in Laura and Leave Her To Heaven. 

Plus, Karen talks Disney's Strange World and Lauren has feelings about Cate Blanchett in Tar. 

This week we're talking about noir star Richard Widmark, from his Academy Award-nominated debut, Kiss Of Death to his intense work in Night and the City, Panic in the Streets, and Pickup on South Street. Plus, his work in one of Sidney Poitier's earliest films, No Way Out.

We're also talking a bit about the (not?) death of Twitter and whether maybe it's in the best interest of everyone for it to go quickly - though not so gently - into that good night.

The Dames plunge into Noirvember with discussions of Detour, The Blue Dahlia, and Sweet Smell of Success. Plus, what the hell is happening on Twitter?

For this special mini-episode, the Dames discuss Zach Cregger's horror flick, Barbarian, which is now streaming on HBO Max.

This episode is all about horror master James Whale. Even though he only directed four horror films, his influence is still felt in the genre today.

We're also talking a bit about the Brad Pitt drama and whatever was happening with the Great British Bake-Off and their "Mexican Week."

For this bonus episode, we dive into the 1998 cult favorite high school alien invasion meta horror movie, The Faculty.

The Dames kick off Spooky Season with The Conjuring Universe films, discussing everything from why The Nun is more fun than it should be, how women and mothers fare across the franchise, and which films are just mean.
