Welcome to episode 3 of the PinkCat Podcast. For our third episode, we will be discussing one pinku, Woman in a Box: Virgin Sacrifice (1985) and one Cat III, There is a Secret in my Soup (2001). Both films are based on true crime cases. We will be discussing the political, societal and problematic aspects of both films, and how they appeal to us as seasoned explorers of the respective genres.
