White Ladies in Crisis: S02E07 - The Hand That Rocks The Cradle (1992)

Anatomy of a Scream Pod Squad

March is Jenn's pick so we're getting into familial/revenge territory with this month's Erotic Thriller, The Hand That Rocks The Cradle (1992) C/W: sexual assault.

It turns out that the film is far more than a killer nanny and an iconic set piece in a greenhouse. It also opens with an uncomfortable sexual assault! 

Up for discussion: Ernie Hudson's mentally disabled character, Claire (Annabella Sciorra)'s underlying racism, normalizing breast feeding, Julianne Moore's "modern" woman and debates about whether the film is actually an erotic thriller.
