Matías Bombal's Hollywood- BLINK TWICE- 082324

Zoë Kravitz joins Anna Smith to discuss her directorial debut, Blink Twice, while Anna also reports from the 2024 Edinburgh International Film Festival, where she speaks with Daisy-May Hudson about her feature debut, Lollipop. 

First up, Anna welcomes actor turned writer, director and producer Zoë Kravitz, best known for her roles in ‘The Batman’ and in TV series ‘Big Little Lies’ and ‘High Fidelity’, onto the podcast. With Anna, Zoë discusses the feminist messaging in her slick thriller ‘Blink Twice’. She talks about casting the wonderful Naomi Ackie as Frida, a cocktail waitress who catches the eye of tech billionaire Slater King (Channing Tatum) and is transported to his private island for sundrenched luxury, or so she thinks… 

Zoë also tells Anna about the writing process behind ‘Blink Twice’, originally titled ‘Pussy Island’, reveals her relief at turning up to set as the director without having to worry about what she looks like, and describes her approach to capturing women on camera to produce a disturbing and believable depiction of gender and power among the megarich. 

Next up, Anna reports from Edinburgh International Film Festival, where Girls On Film partners on the festival’s Closing Night sçreening of the powerful feminist music documentary, ‘Since Yesterday: The Untold Story of Scotland’s Girl Bands’.

Anna catches up with first-time feature director Daisy-May Hudson whose film ‘Lollipop’ is a heartbreaking but hopeful depiction of a mother (Posy Sterling) who battles to regain custody of her children after coming out of prison. Daisy-May speaks about the fierce maternal love of her protagonist Molly, what happens when children are required to parent, as well as the challenges faced by a first time director. Plus: karaoke as a symbol of working class joy!

Anna also hears from Karen Needham and Col Needham from the IMDb, plus director of the BFI’s filmmaking fund Mia Bays and costume designer Rachael Fleming about their highlights from the EIFF 2024. 

Stay tuned for upcoming episodes of Girls On Film as we move into autumn and host Anna Smith heads to Sea Change Film Festival 2024.

Ep 181: Zoë Kravitz on Blink Twice + Lollipop and more at the Edinburgh International Film Festival

Hey! "Blink Twice" if you're in danger of the patriarchy! In Episode 4, we examine this movie from director Zoe Kravitz through a feminist lens and how the film gives the proverbial middle finger to the way women are typically portrayed in slasher horror movies.

Music: "Brain Dance" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)

Ep 4: "Blink Twice" If You're in Danger!

Once again we are faced with the fact that sometimes the best conversations are the meandering ones we have after the commentary is over. I asked Warren Hayes and Paul Emig to stay over a little loner, have a couple of beers, and talk about our favorite caped crusader, why comic book films are fading, and why they still enthrall us. But first, David Lynch. And later, the English Patient.

Amy’s mom Marsh is in the house for this week’s ep! Don’t get excited…she’s not talking much for some reason. She does yell from the living room occasionally though. Speaking of houses, Maya’s childhood home is for sale. Don’t worry, she’s not sentimental about it. What happened to the carpeted poles? Amy and Maya reminisce about one of Amy’s childhood homes. They solve the mystery of why they didn’t go to the same elementary school. Maya learns about “Pow Ball” and introduces Amy to ESPN Ocho and “Roof Ball”.  Amy recaps the Netflix failed attempt to live broadcast the big fight. Maya puts herself in the shoes of the person in charge of the failed Netflix live broadcast. It’s not a good feeling. Next up, an in-depth analysis of the Zoe Kravitz and Channing Tatum break-up. The ladies are totally jazzed for Christmas romcom season including “Hot Frosty”, a movie about Lacey Chabert (of Party of Five fame) falling in love with a hot snowman that comes to life. It’s a good thing she didn’t put that magic scarf on a dumpy snowman. Sad news, the gas station brand Kum & Go is rebranding.
