Ep. 21 - The Craft // GUEST: Lyra Hill




Bonnie & Maude show

Summary: <br> To those for whom the phrase "light as a feather, stiff as a board" sends shivers up the spine: our newest episode deconstructs The Craft -- a staple of '90s slumber parties and one of the most problematic portrayals of teen girl empowerment. <br> <br> <br> We speak to <a href="http://iamanartstudentwhatamidoing.blogspot.com/">Lyra Hill</a> (previously a guest for our <a href="http://bonnieandmaude.podbean.com/e/episode-10-cabaret-guest-lyra-hill/">Cabaret discussion</a>) about her thoughts on The Craft from the perspective of a Pagan, a feminist, and a filmmaker. Lyra is in the final stages of completing the short film Uzi's Party (<a href="http://vimeo.com/77663903">teaser</a>) and it was a thrill to get a first look at the project and dig into her theories on possession and its ties to performance and femininity. <br>
