The Stepford Wives: Robo-Patriarchy

Bob, Randy, and Soju from the Straight Chilling Podcast join Caitlin to review The Stepford Wives (2004). We dig into gender roles, patriarchy, book vs movie comparisons, and behind-the-scenes trivia. We take an unfortunate look at the "trad wife" and Quiverfull movements, but somehow have a blast talking about even the grimmest topics. Tangents include Tom Cruise, horror movie memorabilia, unpopular food opinions, horror TV, anthology horror, and animals. Stick around until the end to hear the Straight Chilling freestyle remix to the Plug It Up theme song, graciously delivered by Bob from episode 415 of Straight Chilling. Love my Stepford husbands.

Check out Straight Chilling wherever you get your podcasts! And the book I mentioned is Quiverfull: Inside the Christian Patriarchy Movement by Kathryn Joyce, if you're interested in learning more and getting truly scared.
