145 Movie Analysis: The Misogyny of Nocturnal Animals

Hey folks! Nichole was so excited for Nocturnal Animals, a supposed thriller by Tom Ford, but it ended up being a beautiful cesspool of misogyny! So…we’re talking about it!

In This Episode

So…what was marketed as a beautifully filmed thriller turned out to actually be a misogynistic anti-abortion revenge flick that was also fatphobic, ageist, and mediocre white dude centered. Sigh. Oh, and did we mention that the rape, murder and literal objectification of women were used as symbolism for how this mediocre white dude had his fee-fees hurt? Yeah, it’s a doozey.
