About this episode
"For those who fight for it, life has a flavor the sheltered will never know."
Can good intentions and stunning imagery be enough to overcome a lackluster script? Well, this week The Wives Colangelo are trying their damndest to find the silver lining in Zack Snyder's SUCKER PUNCH. Together your hosts fight through misery to champion the aesthetics, acting, and costumes, and try to dig up the empowerment fantasy in an anti-empowerment movie. Is there anything in SUCKER PUNCH actually for women, or is this another instance of a film that's about us without us? It's about to get controversial in here, y'all!
