SMALL TALK: How Do Hollywood Movies Influence Our Politics? With Allison Williams


Listen Later

This is a VERY exciting episode if you, like me, grew up watching the HBO's hit show GIRLS, have seen the Megan movies and also thought Jordan Peele's movie 'Get Out' was a cinematic masterpiece!


I got the opportunity to chat to the incredible lead actress, Allison Williams!


I asked Allison about the powerful messaging behind all her chosen projects. Starting with Girls, we discuss what was so groundbreaking at the time, being a Marine apologist and what would be different if Girls existed in todays current political climate.


We then chatted through why Get Out struck a chord in so many people, the broken conversation about race in both America and Australia and how her character was developed.


Finally, we talk about Megan 2.0 (in cinemas now!) and how that reflected current day politics around the use of Artificial Intelligence.


A big thank you to Universal Studios
