158 - The Gag, the Stunt, the Prank, the GOOP (w/ Ashley) - Promising Young Woman (2020)

Welcome back to Fright School! It has been way too long since we've checked in with our favorite Final Grrrrrl Ashley! She's joining us today to chat about PROMISING YOUNG WOMAN (2020)! We catch up on life in the ongoing pandemic. Joshua watched 1984's DUNE for the first time. Joe has been watching FRESH OFF THE BOAT. Ashely got a new job and she and Joe share their love for FRIENDS. This week we continue our ongoing examination of Little Red Riding Hood themes in horror with PROMISING YOUNG WOMAN. We discuss turning the tables on would-be predators, systemic misogyny and the roles women play in reinforcing it, #YesAllMen, and the fantastically curated soundtrack.

Ashley has her own podcast! Check out SOME DUMB CHICKS! Each week, join co-hosts Victoria and Ashley in their judgement free zone as they have real and honest discussions with themselves and their guests, discuss current events and share hilarious stories... all with a hint of chaos. They're taking back the power of being called dumb millennials one conversation and one drink at a time.
