Huuuugeeeee spoiler alert with this one- honestly, unless we say otherwise, just assume that if we’re talking about a movie there will be some. “The Substance” is another feminist horror movie we got to see recently. It has a lot of themes surrounding the psychological effects of the beauty industry and the idolization of youth, and that’s about all we can say in the description without giving the whole plot away lol.

If you haven’t seen it yet, go watch it- it’s free with a 7-day free trial on Mubi- and then come back :)

This trend of feminist horror movies is something we’re living for, honestly. Recently we went to go see Anna Kendrick’s “Woman of the Hour”, the first movie she’s ever directed! She also plays Cheryl in it, the bachelorette on “The Dating Show”- a game show from the 60’s that once hosted Rodney Alcala, a notorious American serial killer who would pose as a photographer to unsuspecting women

Here’s the storyline as according to IMDB: “Woman of the Hour is based on the stranger-than-fiction true story of Cheryl Bradshaw and Rodney Alcala. Bradshaw was a bachelorette on the hit '70s TV matchmaking show The Dating Game and chose handsome and funny bachelor No. 3, Rodney Alcala. But behind Alcala's charming facade was a deadly secret: He was a psychopathic serial killer.”

At the end of the month last month, we had the opportunity to interview Annaxis while she stopped in Regina to perform! We can’t get over how driven, cool, and educated this girl is- and she’s only 19?! Dude, we are so impressed. Anna Hunter is a self-described “Kate Bush enthusiast” hailing from Winnipeg, which is apparently flatter than Saskatchewan. Her music can be described as a mix of punk, post-punk, and Kate Bush influences. We wish we had gotten the chance to see her perform but unfortunately we were both working, so hopefully Anna will make her way back over again sometime soon :)
