Kuuntele The Broad Perspective

It's been awhile since we've had a good old fashioned Hollywood showdown with twin films from competing studios this similar and close in release. Host Megan Cruz, along with horror connoisseur, Max, from the Roughtake Podcast break down both Immaculate and The First Omen and how they address sexy nuns, religion, and patriarchy with varying levels of success.

Host Megan Cruz and guest Chelsea Garlock discuss the new Netflix fantasy vehicle, Damsel, and all the ways it illustrates the decline of the fantasy genre in the modern cinema landscape.

The 96th Academy Awards have come and gone and in this episode host, Megan Cruz, is joined by guest Chelsea Garlock to talk about the winners, losers and what the Oscars really mean to us.

The Oscars are almost upon us and host, Megan Cruz, finally gets to wax poetic about two of her personal favorite Best Picture nominees this year, Poor Things & Anatomy of a Fall. Journalist and cohost of the podcast This Ends At Prom, BJ Colangelo joins to discuss the themes that run across both of these films in their depiction of feminine identity under patriarchy.

What is the deal with modern rom coms? Anyone But You has set box office records for the genre but is it the kind of film we really need right now? Host, Megan Cruz, and rom com aficionado, Chelsea Garlock, give extremely thorough reasonings for the case against Anyone But You, and try to get to the bottom of how rom coms got here. We talk some of our favorite modern rom coms and what they get so right about updating the genre and we find another reason to hate what the streaming model has done to hollywood.
