Episode description
This week we cover the iconic and pioneering "Wanda" by first-time director, Barbara Loden who also stars in and wrote the film. We discuss her life and put the film into the context of her fears and insecurities of her background and personality. We also discuss her marriage to Elia Kazan and how it informs the film's content. After we cover the background, we get into the plot of the film for an at-length discussion. Finally, we each pair the film with another film for two double bills.
Thank you so much for listening!
