Show Notes

There are a lot of themes running throughout 2020’s Promising Young Woman; we’re just not sure what the ultimate message is. That being said, this is a film that places an uncomfortable mirror in front of the viewer and forces you to look into it. And we’ll do our best to try to look inward and address the many problems with the film and ourselves with returning guest Jennie Lee. We’ll also discuss the quintessential home decor of your typical East LA douchebag, our Bo Burnham/Freddy Krueger musical pitch, sexist golf clubs, and much more. And lastly; it’s totally okay to not like this movie.

If you or someone you know has been a victim of sexual assault or abuse, the National Sexual Assault Hotline is 1-800-656-HOPE (4673).

Promising Young Woman stars Carey Mulligan, Bo Burnham, Alison Brie, Adam Brody, Connie Britton, Jennifer Coolidge, Laverne Cox, Max Greenfield, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Sam Richardson, Molly Shannon, Clancy Brown, Chris Lowell, and Steve Monroe. Directed by Emerald Fennell.
