In Episode 2 of Girls Talk Film, we explore the magic of fairy tale films: The Princess Bride (1987), a beloved cult classic filled with adventure, romance, and quotable one-liners, Tale of Tales (2015), a visually arresting and twisted triptych of classic Italian fairy tales, and Ever After (1998), a quintessentially 90s (and surprisingly feminist) take on the Cinderella story.
Join us as we discuss the timeless appeal of these stories and what, exactly, makes a great fairy tale film. Tune in as we summarize, analyze, and debate our picks for this week!

For our debut episode, we're diving into the world of movie musicals, dissecting three films that approach the genre in wildly different ways. From the spectacle of Wicked (2024) to the golden age charm of Singin’ in the Rain (1952) and the devastating realism of Dancer in the Dark (2000), we explore how musicals have evolved on screen. How do these films use music to tell their stories? Where do they succeed... or stumble? Tune in as we summarize, analyze, and debate our picks for this week!
