Episode Description
This week we review and discuss The Housemaid, an erotic thriller movie directed by Paul Feig and starring Sydney Sweeney, Amanda Seyfried and Brandon Sklenar, which follows a young woman with a troubled past who becomes the live-in housekeeper for a wealthy family. Their seemingly perfect life unravels when she discovers their household hides dark secrets.
We talk about whether the movie delivers on its promise of being a throwback to 90's thrillers and whether the near universally positive audience reaction is justified, whether the resolution to the central mystery makes sense and worked for us, whether the movie accurately depicts abuse and abusive relationships and what the ethics of that are for movies, how we would have changed the movie's ending, and much more.
