Bad Girls: Road Trip to Hell
South Carolina-based filmmaker Christopher Bickel’s Bad Girls is currently taking the indie world by storm.
This tale of a road trip mired in sex, drugs, kidnapping and reckless violence brings a 1970s exploitation sensibility to modern times.
While many low-budget filmmakers fail to capture this magic, Bickel succeeds. Populated with multi-layered characters and style to spare, it’s a wicked journey worth taking.
Reconsidering Bickel
Besides Bad Girls, Jonny also talks about Bickel’s 2017 debut, The Theta Girl, and how his opinion about the film changed on a second viewing.
At their best, independent films make a virtue of their low budgets, and Bickel’s efforts are no exception.
Regardless of your stance on these films, everyone should make a point to support those going out and “making their own damn movie.”
Good Women Behind the Bad Girls
Behind every bad girl in cinema is a good woman trying to bring them to life.
The Bad Girls are portrayed by actresses Morgan Shaley Renew, Sanethia Dresch and Shelby Lois Guinn. The women create a twisted version of “The Three Musketeers”.
But is it really “One for all and all for one”? Listen to Jonny’s review to find out more!
