In the fourth episode and season finale, I look at the most recent cinematic adaptation of The Women from 2008. After giving details about the production, I provide some reviews of the film at the time. I also briefly speak about the 1977 adaptation "Frauen in New York," which I was unable to view.

In the second part of the episode, I am joined by Shayna as we discuss various aspects of the film and ask the big question of whether it is feminist or misogynist. As always, I conclude the discussion with revealing whether the film follows the law or the spirit of The Women.

Grab your wooden stakes and prophylactics and prepare yourselves for a WILD ride! In the first half, I discover what Jane Eyre would be like as a vampire hunter by looking at Jane Slayre by Sherri Browning Erwin (and Charlotte Bronte).
