Promising Young Woman
Episode description
TW: this episode contains references to multiple forms of trauma [SA, MH, r*pe, violence, mention of su*c*de, misogyny) and could be triggering to some people.
Hey Scaredy Cats. This was a tough one - Promising Young Woman deals with heavy subject matter and this episode will be inherently graphic as we discuss rape, misogyny, violence and suicide. This is not your ordinary Scaredy Cats episode and while it was an important conversation to have, it wasn't an easy conversation.
Promising Young Woman is an incredibly tense and powerful movie that takes a whole lot of genres and twists them into something new. It’s been described as a “revenge thriller romantic comedy” by Men’s Health. If that sounds impossible, go watch it and get back to me because it’s the perfect description. Joining us for the episode are Ariana, Nik, and Samantha.
