The Extra Credits

'Rosemary's Baby' (1968) | Patreon #40


Listen Later

Kelsi and Trey dive deep into the 1968 classic Rosemary’s Baby, a landmark in horror cinema and cultural commentary. We explore the film’s themes of gaslighting, autonomy, and betrayal, unpacking how it critiques societal control over women’s bodies. From Mia Farrow's haunting portrayal of Rosemary to the chilling dynamics of the Castevets and Guy's (John Cassavetes) devastating betrayal, we analyze how the film’s psychological horror transcends the genre to deliver a biting social critique. They also discuss the controversial legacy of Roman Polanski as a filmmaker and the enduring relevance of Rosemary’s Baby in today's conversations about autonomy, power, and oppression; specifically unpacking the interpretations of Rosemary's Baby as a feminist text, versus the actual intentions of the author and filmmakers.
