Window Dressing

Madelaine Jane Auble

Redemption arcs abound in this feminist-driven history-of-women-in-film-and-television podcast. Part film history, part cultural critique, and heavy with bejeweled gowns, I explore the intersections between fame, glamour, fashion, and film. And the role they have played in constructing and influencing American culture throughout the last 100 years.

    Urban Legend: Halloween Episode

    Welcome to Window Dressings: Halloween bonus episode!!!! This year, I am talking about the classic teen-softcore horror film Urban Legend. The film has an ensemble cast that includes Tara Reid, Joshua Jackson, Rebecca Gayheart, and everyone's favorite hot bad boy turned alleged sexual predator, Jared Leto. It’s in the same vein as I Know What You Did Last Summer and I Still Know What You Did Last Summer, which have both been Halloween special episodes from years past. The most significant difference is that the killer matters way more in this film than it did in the I Know What You Did Franchise, and there is a redhead in this one. It's also worth noting that the writer, Silvia Horta, also wrote Ugly Betty, which I know hits for the mid-twenties to late twenty-something crowd. Mary Claire Hannan designs the costumes.

    Keaton, Carlisle, Frank, and Madelaine

    In this bonus episode of Window Dressing, Frank Calvillo (from the fabulous podcast What Ever Happened to Bette and Joan) and I discuss the late Diane Keaton. We focus on two music videos she directed for Belinda Carlisle in the late 1980s: Heaven Is a Place on Earth and I Get Weak.

    Gaslight

    In this episode of my Gothic Romance series, I talk about the 1944 film Gaslight. The film is the origin of the now common use phrase that describes a type of psychological abuse typical in coercive control. I present my film critique as an alternative to the DSM- 5's definition.
