Episode 93: Don't Cross the Streams: Ghostbusters, Politics, and the Female Gaze
Manage episode 333854684 series 3328899
This is one of those rare episodes when Marc and Kristina disagree, and it shows. We discuss the surprising political message in Ghostbusters, the reason why it may not be what it seems, and the way the film holds up from the perspective of the female gaze 38 year after its release.
