This week in the Throne Room, I invited new loyal royal and long-time internet friend, Lia over to talk about the Emerald Fennell-directed, Carey Mulligan and Margot Robbie-helmed film, Promising Young Woman (2020). We engaged in a long discussion/review about/of the film, talking up our favorite scenes and the importance of a film like this, alongside discussions of the future of film and cinema, particularly in terms of distribution (streaming services vs. the actual cinema). In usual fun fashion, we went off on tangents about how Paris Hilton's music career deserved better, how goddamn confusingly charming Bo Burnham is and that maybe Amy Adams is better off living her life Oscar-less while we still stan. Listen for a really fun romp into a very serious film that is a must-see in this post-MeToo world.
CW for episode: Sexual Assault, Rape, Violence Against Women
In light of the content of the movie discussed in this episode, I'd be remiss to implore anyone who has been a survivor of sexual assault or rape, please reach out for help. You don't deserve to suffer in silence. Call the National Sexual Assault Hotline at 1-800-656-4673. They are available for 24 hours for any help you may need. Also, look up local support groups or hotlines as well. Someone is out there who will listen to you.
