Ghostbusters & Ocean's 8 - Are Gender Flips Feminist? | Chick Flix Film Club #3
Listen now
Description
Welcome to the third edition of the Chick Flix Film Club! A programme presented by She Sources and Making It: Women in Film, airing the first Monday of every month. This month, we discuss the 2016 reboot of Ghostbusters, and the Ocean's-franchise spin-off Ocean's 8. Both of these movies are "gender flips" of previously male-led franchises, and received a fair amount of backlash - especially Ghostbusters, which has become a poster child for the campaign against gender flipping. Today we discuss the backlash, whether or not it was all a cheap gimmick, and then fall into a rabbit hole rant about J*mes C*rden's appearance in Ocean's 8. Timestamps: Ghostbusters | 00.00 - 22.00 Birds of Prey | 22.00 - 52.00 Movies for October: Midsommar (2019, dir. Ari Aster) A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night (2014, dir.
