In My Villain Era

Nipping at the heels of awards season, Rose and Gala are here to talk Tár and tarnished protagonists. A little bit of kvetch and a lot of klatch, there’s a game of sapphic villain top-bottom-vers to keep our spirits gay after asking the hard questions: What makes a villain juicy? What makes a straight cis man decide to make a movie about a lesbian predator? What makes a straight cis woman choose the role? Is the world short on narratives that cast queer people in a predatory light? Kick it with us as we dream up a lavender menace worth the price of our salt.
