Thelma and Louise: T-birds, Stick-ups & Cliffhangers

They may be outlaws, but they’re stealin’ our hearts: to celebrate Women’s History Month, we’re talking about Ridley Scott’s 1991 feminist road-trip classic, THELMA AND LOUISE. Rev up the T-bird, we’re getting outta town and letting our hair down. Riding shotgun with our not-so-careful lady drivers Molly and Chloe is Sarah Asante, a script consultant with an eye for a great storyline. Together they navigate the complexities of first-time screenwriter Callie Khouri’s Oscar-winning script, the iconic performances by Susan Sarandon and Geena Davis, and Scott’s timeless visual style. Plus we get under the bonnet to discuss how the film portrays misogyny, sexual violence and female empowerment. Lastly we motor through the film’s most 90s moments, give out awards to our fave details (triple denim alert) and map out what to watch next.

They may be outlaws, but they’re stealin’ our hearts: to celebrate Women’s History Month, we’re talking about Ridley Scott’s 1991 feminist road-trip classic, THELMA AND LOUISE. Rev up the T-bird, we’re getting outta town and letting our hair down.


Riding shotgun with our not-so-careful lady drivers Molly and Chloe is Sarah Asante, a script consultant with an eye for a great storyline. Together they navigate the complexities of first-time screenwriter Callie Khouri’s Oscar-winning script, the iconic performances by Susan Sarandon and Geena Davis, and Scott’s timeless visual style. Plus we get under the bonnet to discuss how the film portrays misogyny, sexual violence and female empowerment.


Lastly we motor through the film’s most 90s moments, give out awards to our fave details (triple denim alert) and map out what to watch next.
