from The Final Girls: A Horror Film Podcast · host The Final Girls
The Final Girls are a UK-based film collective exploring the intersections of horror film and feminism. In this episode, we dive into the different versions of Sleeping Beauty's main antagonist, Maleficent and her evolution from the Disney animated feature to the live-action spin off that gives the villainess a profound backstory. Anna is joined by film critic and broadcaster Rhianna Dhillon to dissect their first impressions of Maleficent, her campiness, Angelina Jolie's performance, and how the live-action Maleficent subverts a witchy stereotype. *** To coincide with our season of films and events, Here Be Witches, we will be focusing this first series on exploring all things witchcraft on film. Each episode, we will dive deep into films and TV shows that we can’t necessarily screen. Each episode, we’ll be joined with special guests to dissect and discuss a film or show, its legacy and the way witches are represented.
