Femcel Filmcast

Dust off your oversized blazers and readjust your shoulder pads, because the femcels are watching Heathers this week! In this episode, they explore the film’s sociopolitical contexts, unpack the sensationalism of teenage suicide (don’t do it!), and interrogate the legitimacy of the mean girl trope. Digressions include confusion around JD’s political compass placement, the shocking similarities between Bob’s Burgers and Succession, and Kristin’s gay awakening.

Join the femcels in their very first pod episode on the female gaze! Through minimal research and lots of skimming, they discuss how they are lowkey a woman with a man inside (wait…) watching a woman. Stay tuned for lessons on Freud, Lacan, Ms.Mulvey herself, and the future of film theory as we know it. Ramblings may diverge into Darcy’s erotic sideburns in Pride and Prejudice, artistic lesbians, and ego libido.
