This week on Rewind, Rethink, Alice and Saj dive into The Stepford Wives - the glossy suburban nightmare that had a bit of backlash when it came out.

We chat about what the movie says about gender roles at the time, why it sparked such a big backlash, whether its “perfect wife” nightmare still hits today, and if a gender-reversed remake would even work in 2025.
