Nostalgia Trap - Episode 277: Working Girls w/ Claudia Moreno Parsons (PREVIEW)
Manage episode 293984884 series 2394641
This week Claudia and I continue our movie series with two 1980s Hollywood comedies about the lives of working class women, Pretty in Pink (1986) and Working Girl (1988). Our conversation explores how each film reflects a pre-”Lean In” pop feminism, with central characters that seek class mobility and romantic independence in the context of a vapid, wealth-obsessed 1980s culture.
