Mean Girls (2004)

This week the podcast A Cosmic Void talks about the all timer helmed by Tina Fey: Mean Girls. We talk about where it’s placed in the pantheon of comedies of the last twenty years. We discuss the book it’s based off of: Queen Bees and Wannabes. We also ask whether the movie is still relevant to teens today. So check it out, it’s so fetch. Jeremiah just told me to stop saying it’s fetch. It’s not going to happen.

The Mummy (1999)

 

This episode of A Cosmic Void unwraps the 1999 classic: The Mummy. In addition to breaking down the plot of the movie we examine the bad racial stereotypes, whether this movie is feminist or not, and how Brendan Frasier was nearly killed twice making it. Plus we walk through the crazy long road Universal traveled to make this reboot a reality: twice George A. Romero was to direct, as well as Clive Barker. And that's just the tip of the pyramid!

Rear Window (1954)

 

Dust off your telephoto lens, binoculars, and leg cast and join A Cosmic Void this week for the 1954 Alfred Hitchcock classic: Rear Window. We talk about how it dissects voyeurism, holding it's characters, as well as the viewer accountable. We also explore bad sexual politics running behind the movie, as well as the two grisly murders that helped shape it's plot. And of course we note how influential this suspense film has been on film and television.
