Assassination Nation and the girl gang

Join the crew - Anna, Hen and producer Pete - as they walk down a corridor in slow-motion towards this episode's topic: girl gangs. We talk about Mean Girls, Clueless, The Craft, Jawbreakers and Assassination Nation, director Sam Levinson's very 2018 take on the Salem witch trials. Assassination Nation paints a picture of an America pulled apart along gender lines, with a gang of young women thrown into violent rebellion against the men of their town after they're hacked and have their private communications leaked to the internet. Join us as we talk about gender, Trump, 90s alt-rock and - finally, FINALLY - Matt Damon's turn as a skate-punk god in the 2004 grossout comedy Euro-trip. The BFI Podcast is ...
