On this week's episode of Idle Film Club, we discuss Ingrid Goes West and our favourite trope in media: The Girlfail. A wonderful mélange of fantastically off-putting women awaits; think Euphoria's Cassie Howard throwing up on It's Always Sunny's Sweet Dee Reynolds.

Prewarned, this is a bit of a rambly one, so please stick with it. Plus the audio is slightly botched, which adds to the charm!
