Reeling Odd Pods Out

CW: sexually assault, violence On this episode of Reeling, the cast talks about three examples of female rage and revenge: Gone Girl, Hustlers, and Kill Bill Volume I. All of these films present female protagonists who perform reprehensible actions for the sake of revenge, and we try to evaluate whether all journeys of revenge are created equally.

Michaela Coel's I May Destroy You was one of last year's best releases. Yet, the HBO series received no nominations at the Golden Globes and still remains criminally underseen. In this episode of Reeling, the cast gushes over Coel's genius attention to detail, the impossibly nuanced soundtrack, and the importance of media that encourages the audience to think for themselves.

Please be advised that topics of sexual assault, rape, and abortion are discussed in this episode.
