Fuck. This was a heavy episode. But art --which includes movies-- forces us to see the ugliness in this world, sometimes. Good movies, no matter how difficult the subject matter, force us to see, face, and conquer that ugliness. Creators find this process therapeutic. Viewers find it entertaining. Sometimes, it's triggering for everybody. So... consider this your trigger warning, as we discuss rape revenge movies in this episode. We're grateful to have Australian filmmaker, Nate Hill, join us again to discuss his movie, "Fox Force", and other notable movies in this genre.
Rape itself is horrific. Since rape epitomizes the ugliest side of sex and horror, which side does rape revenge fall on? Is rape revenge psychotic violence or is it consequential justice? Is it empowering or criminalizing? Are the films glorifying violence or glorifying the characters' taking back their power? How far is too far in this genre? As a way to educate and inform here, we also discuss consent and where it ends.
Though not as light as some of our previous episodes, we cover rape revenge films as freely and as openly as we cover everything else, and we hope you enjoy this discussion as well.
