Episode 60: Promising Young Woman

CONTENT WARNING: In this episode we’ll be having a discussion relating to the topics of discrimination and violence towards women, sexual harassment, sexual assault, and rape. Listener discretion is advised.

Carey Mulligan plays Cassie Thomas, a woman haunted by the rape and death of her best friend, who lives a vigilante life confronting men for their transgressions. A series of events soon finds her seeking vengeance against all of those who participated and dismissed the event.

Join Erica, Holly, Elizabeth, Kyle and Kerwin as we talk micro-aggressions against women (both in and surrounding the film), purposefully casting male actors known for their “safe” or “trustworthy” roles as transgressors, and the musical talents of Paris Hilton.
