Episode 108: Gun Girls featuring Ross Lennon

Ross Lennon, film historian and host of The History on Film podcast, has got something enticing for us to fence: Gun Girls (1957).  Do you want to see powerful young women commit crimes, push people around and flaunt their figures?  Well, will you settle for feisty 30-year-olds poorly executing crimes and changing their blouses?  Don’t worry, there’s a moral at the end so we all at least feel okay about all the “violence” and “nudity” they just showed us.  Directed by Paul Dertano and hailing from the teen delinquent genre, it’s a blast from the past and a pretty good time for the curious.  We’ll also get into just what the genre is and its place in the greater cinematic canon.  It’s a trip down culture’s memory lane and you can join us, just tune in!
