Content warning: the work we are discussing in this episode includes references to violence and sexual assault, which may be difficult for some listeners.
This episode we’re discussing our favourite fictional Femme Fatales! We get into why it’s so enjoyable to watch women breaking the law, discussing tv show Killing Eve, film Promising Young Woman and novels Boy Parts and My Sister the Serial Killer. Warning up top that there will be SPOILERS for all of these examples.
We explore the fantasy of the femme fatale, looking at works of fiction that explore how women use it to wield power and establish control in a patriarchal world.
Plus, we answer listener questions and give our latest recommendations. If you liked the podcast don't forget to share, rate and review - it helps the podcast reach more people!
