Pay tribute to all your favorite witches at The Bell House on Monday by Julia Lipscomb
When Halloween falls on a week day, Brooklyn celebrates Halloween all month long. This year, Halloween is on a Friday and well, that’s still not stopping us from partying with witches and goblins all throughout the month of October, nor are we excluding Mondays. On this upcoming Monday, October 13, femme-centric film podcast Bonnie & Maude is hosting a spooky “Monday the 13th” evening of music and presentations centered around witchcraft seen in movies, pop culture and television called All of Them Witches at the Bell House (Monday the 13th, get it?! Don’t turn inside out!).
“All of Them Witches” is the third in a series of live variety shows looking at female representation in media, produced by Bonnie & Maude hosts Kseniya Yarosh (of the Brooklyn Zine Fest) and Eleanor Kagan.
“All of Them Witches” will include a Q&A with the Chicago-based, Wiccan-raised filmmaker and artist Lyra Hill, who will screen scenes from her new teen possession short film Uzi’s Party. Music throughout the show will be performed by Brooklyn-based chamber pop singer AK, and the 8-piece, all-female a cappella group Femme Rhythm. Presenters include Tom Blunt, Lyra Hill, Eleanor Kagan, Racheline Maltese, Rosie Schaap, Tenebrous Kate, Cassie Wagler, and Kseniya Yarosh. Kagan says, “Witchcraft in film is more than dark lipstick. It can be a metaphor for strength through personal empowerment or sisterhood.”
You don’t have to worry about pawning your broom go to this evening of studying witchcraft, a ticket will run you just $8. Leave the flying monkeys at home though, they might be a little disruptive.

The Q&A and Box Angeles: readers recommend the best film podcasts by Lilah Raptopoulos
|
Bonnie and Maude (of Bonnie and Clyde and Harold and Maude) is film criticism from a female perspective. This one was a Twitter suggestion, elaborated by email: Being a film criticism podcast that is hosted by women and often boasts female guests makes Bonnie and Maude worth a listen. The fact that it is also an excellently produced podcast featuring hosts who clearly know their stuff in the realm of entertainment and feminism and just happen to women is the icing on the cake. Bonnie and Maude explores familiar films, shows, and tropes in a way that makes them fresh again and shines a light on aspects of entertainment that other podcasts rarely do – or rarely do – with as much depth –Tim Stevens In sum, they're smart girls talking about interesting themes in film and TV. Why it's great: With Eleanor and Kseniya, you'll contemplate the idea of ugly women in cinema, see examples of the male gaze and notice moments when sexuality is actually absent from films. They review major classics like Drop Dead Gorgeous and Rosemary's Baby, but also new releases like Frances Ha and Girls. Where you should start: Our reader's favourites are #14- Mrs. Anti-Hero ("It explores the different ways wives and girlfriends of bad guy protagonists are criticized and castigated"), #18: Frozen, and #22: Batman Returns. Other great episodes include #21: The Craft and #16: Women in Space, which discusses Gravity, Alien, and Barbarella. All the episodes can be found here. |

Bonnie & Maude #22: Batman Returns: David Archer
Former guest David Archer is back on the show, just in time for this “Batman Podcrawl.” Over the next couple weeks, other podcasts will be tackling other movies in the series, but Bonnie & Maude kick things off with a in-depth discussion of everyone’s favorite character from the Tim Burton’s Batman Returns: Catwoman. Archer is quite the Catwoman expert, and gives a detailed history of her life in the comics and the silver screen (he even goes into the controversy in the genesis of Batman, and Crisis On Infinite Earths). Fascinating as it all is, the discussion takes its time to get to the movie itself. Nonetheless, hosts Eleanor Kagan and Kseniya Yarosh are game to take on the campy fun of the film. [NC]

Bonnie & Maude #21: The Craft
Kseniya Yarosh and Eleanor Kagan welcome back filmmaker Lyra Hill as a special guest for this episode examining The Craft. Hill’s personal history, having been raised as a social-activist pagan in California, gives her a more storied past with the film than most women of a certain age for whom the 1996 film remains a touchstone. But time seems to have dampened Hill’s loathing (somewhat), as she no longer has to serve as unofficial Wiccan ambassador at her high school, and the trio enjoy a spirited discussion of the film’s themes and legacy. Though the discussion veers a bit toward the absurd at times (“Why wouldn’t Rochelle use her witchcraft to end racism?”), the ladies make several incisive observations on the otherness, body-image issues, and odd absence of sexuality presented in the film. Anyone with fond memories of chanting “light as a feather, stiff as a board” will find plenty of food for thought in the unfortunate messaging on display in The Craft’s final act and eventual plot resolution, and the hosts get extra points for shouting out The New Inquiry’s oral history on the movie.

Brow Beat, Slate's Culture Blog - May 16, 2014
Hosts of the Bonnie & Maude podcast Eleanor Kagan and Kseniya Yarosh recently put together a variety show called "You Are Hair" in an effort to untangle some of hair-related tropes they had noticed in movies and on TV. Female characters, Kagan and Yarosh had noticed, are frequently defined, and define themselves, with their hair. A dramatic haircut is visual shorthand that signals a pivotal moment for a character—sometimes it’s a “haircut of distress,” and sometimes the character reclaims control of her life by taking control of her appearance. Cutting your hair is an impermanent act, but, in the movies and on TV, it is often a shocking and emotional one.
For the show's intro, the two put together a supercut of particularly charged scenes about hair, and we asked them if we could publish it on Brow Beat. Enjoy.

Bonnie & Maude #20: His Girl Friday + Network
The theme connecting the two movies this week is “Working Women,” and hosts Eleanor Kagan and Kseniya Yarosh tie Howard Hawks’ His Girl Friday and Sidney Lumet’s Networktogether with the capable women at their centers. Bonnie & Maude uses the examples in these two films to dig into the notion, and depiction, of female empowerment in the workplace, resulting in a conversation that nicely touches on both the strength of the characters and some of the more ridiculous aspects of the films (and the hosts’ collective love for the 1940s attire in His Girl Friday). Splicing in various sound bites from the films gives the episode a nice bit of energy, especially the quotes from His Girl Friday, whose dialogue is so fast-paced it’s sometimes barely comprehensible. The hosts have more to say about the Hawks film, but that’s not particularly surprising given its incredible patter and charming leads. [NC]

Bonnie And Maude #19: The Woman Chaser
Guest Caroline Golum begins the episode provocatively by claiming The Woman Chaser, a 1999 film starring Patrick Warburton, turned her into a woman. The film-noir send-up set in ’50s Los Angeles stars Warburton as a car salesman who decides to become an independent filmmaker. The film gave Golum her first crush on a full-grown man, though the film treats sex as transactional, as Kseniya Yarosh and Eleanor Kagan note, a power play devoid of romance and eroticism. Warburton’s portrayal and the film-within-a-film touch on themes that have become more familiar in the wake of Mad Men’s success, but were much less prevalent in 1999. What does it mean for a man to have lost touch with his masculinity? Can that existential frustration lead him to run over a small child and a dog? The line of the episode was undoubtedly that the film’s theme is: “How an aging white guy got his groove back.” [ABa]

Bonnie And Maude #18: Frozen
This week’s episode focuses on Frozen, and the hosts’ relationship with Disney overall. Using the new film as a stepping stone to talk about cartoon princesses (and villains) in general, Kseniya Yarosh and Eleanor Kagan dig into just how rote Disney movies have been in portraying women. Both hosts think Frozen is a refreshing change of pace, where the old romantic tropes of films like The Little Mermaid are skewered effectively. Notably, Jennifer Lee is the first female director of a Disney film, but the hosts rightfully point out that the Frozen still suffers from some of Disney’s more glaring inequalities--eye size anyone? And as Kagan notes, Disney’s ad campaign for the movie doesn’t highlight any of its pro-woman aspects. Even as it steps forward, The Mouse still manages to take steps back. [NC]

Named after two of film’s most memorable ladies, Bonnie And Maude is a monthly discussion of film from a feminist perspective, hosted by Kseniya Yarosh (I Love Bad Movies) and Eleanor Kagan (The Hoot!). Rather than look at one film in depth, Yarosh and Kagan usually tease out a theme or similar moment among a few works to ask larger questions about how movies frame (or fail to frame) sexuality, gender, and autonomy. Luckily, the discussion is neither particularly strident nor academic. (While the show comes from a feminist angle, it doesn’t delve into movements like gender theory and queer theory.) Yarosh and Kagan are movie-lovers first, and their back and forth is filled with geeky jokes and a clear fondness for the subject matter and each other. Most episodes have a guest, and on occasion they discuss TV series as well as film.
Bonnie And Maude’s thematic linking of movies is quite clever, like one of their recent podcasts discussing Gravity, Alien, and Barbarella. While noting that all three movies are about “women in space” (a pretty specific topic in its own right), they go deeper, comparing scenes from the films where the lead characters strip down to their underwear. The talk is refreshingly frank, attending to both the issues of “the male gaze” in the films’ constructions to the undeniable sexiness of Jane Fonda’s striptease. Occasionally, Yarosh and Kagan’s positions don’t feel entirely well-constructed, as in an episode on The Birds where they presume that Alfred Hitchcock was a sexual predator, as claimed by Tippi Hedren (something other Hitchcock stars like Kim Novak and Eva Marie Saint have disputed). By extrapolating Hedren’s account to Hitchcock’s entire career, Yarosh and Kagan do a disservice to their own discussion of The Birds. Even with that misfire, Bonnie And Maude is well worth waiting for each month. [NC]

THE NEXT EPISODE
As much as we love This American Life and WTF with Marc Maron, here are six unsung podcasts to listen to on your morning commute by Amy Plitt. Illustrated By Andy J. Miller
THE BASICS: Eleanor Kagan and Kseniya Yarosh chat about film and TV through a decidedly female-centric lens, including topics like Girls, Nora Ephron rom-coms, and new flicks like Frances Ha.
THE FORMAT: It’s a lot like listening to two of your smartest BFFs talk about movies: Kagan and Yarosh focus on one topic per episode, whether it’s a particular film (most recently, they analyzed Slums of Beverly Hills) or the oeuvre of one filmmaker or actor (such as Marilyn Monroe). Guests occasionally drop by--Daily Show writer Elliott Kalan chimed in for an episode devoted to Alfred Hitchcock—and the duo has also hosted a few live shows in New York City.
WHY WOMEN?: “I feel like our podcast is a tiny way to chisel at the wall that exists between ‘women’s films’ and films in general as well as ‘feminist film criticism’ and ‘film criticism,’” says Yarosh. “We are women and we speak from our perspective as female viewers, but that doesn’t mean that all we want are movies about periods and weddings and pretty pink bows. It also doesn’t mean that we can’t enjoy silly B-Movies.”
THEIR FAVOURITE EPISODES: Kagan and Yarosh say they like finding out that movies are secretly feminist, and name-check their third episode, in which they discussed the 1987 action flick Hard Ticket To Hawaii as one such example. “I was prepared to hate this one, so my love for it was totally unexpected,” Kagan explains.

xoJane Slums of Beverly Hills screening recap - May 1, 2013
I Stumbled Into the Most Intimate Conversation between Natasha Lyonne and the Creators of Cult "Slums of Beverly Hills" by Mandy Stadtmiller
"When xoJane had the opportunity to present this film with 92nd St. Y Tribeca as part of an ongoing retro film festival we've been cosponsoring along with the terrific feminist film podcast Bonnie & Maude, I jumped at the chance to revisit the film. Full disclosure: I had only seen it once, partially, and on TV -- and also, honestly, I wanted to see how Natasha was doing. (The last I saw her, she looked healthy and happy, but it was a few years ago -- and please keep in mind, I do not know her personally at all.) Natasha Lyonne, looking drop-dead gorgeous and as hilarious as ever, at an intimate screening of "Slums of Beverly Hills" last week at 92nd St. Y Tribeca.
Before I left to present the movie along with the wicked smart team of Bonnie & Maude, Lesley emailed me this helpful cheatsheet for introing the film: 'OK, so the main theme of this movie is really about Vivian (Natasha Lyonne) and her family being huge misfits -- they're kinda poor and move constantly, but always staying within Beverly Hills because their dad (Alan Arkin, predictably hilarious in this role) wants them to have access to good schools. Much is made of Vivian's giant boobs, and her crush on a neighbor, and that whole awkward teenager phase where your body is changing and you're trying to deal with this weird new shit happening to you.'"

Who ever knew that Bob Hoskins could be so sexy and loving? Am I right, or am I right?"

Ladies, Eat Your Heart Out by Araceli Cruz
Anyone who still thinks it’s ladylike for a woman to leave her meal half-eaten is just plain wrong.

Their first-ever live event is a variety show with a slideshow, an Easy Bake Oven demo, and a panel discussion of the “on-screen motif of female characters cooking, eating, and falling in love with food,” with clips from movies such as Bridget Jones’s Diary, Like Water for Chocolate, and 9 1/2 Weeks.
