We really take out the trash on this one. Our friend Jessica joins us to discuss some very frustrating themes in The Girl with a Pearl Earring and reinforce that feminist historical fiction is incredible - when done well. We talk about the pros and cons of young ScarJo and Colin Firth, and call on the powers of Patty Jenkins to remake this movie.

Recipe: Liquor.com Our Drinking Game for this Story: Take a drink: Every time Griet hides her face Every time you see her mouth open Every time she gasps needlessly Every time Cornelia is a little shit And lastly, down your drink when you’re just done with the male gaze and how shitty this movie is because of its male directing.
