Description
The Final Girls are a UK-based film collective exploring the intersections of horror film and feminism. In this episode, we discuss the Classic Hollywood romantic comedy Bell, Book and Candle, which stars legends Kim Novak, James Stewart and Jack Lemmon. Anna is joined by podcaster Becky Darke to discuss the the dark undertones of a seemingly fluffy romcom, the aspirational 'cool witch', the feline character design of Gillian, a coven not afraid of using their powers to have a nice time and why the witch must choose between power and love. *** To coincide with our season of films and events, Here Be Witches, we will be focusing this first series on exploring all things witchcraft on film. Each episode, we will dive deep into films and TV shows that we can’t necessarily screen. Each episode, we’ll be joined with special guests to dissect and discuss a film or show, its legacy and the way witches are represented.
