Thelma and Louise with Valley Girl director Rachel Lee Goldenberg | The Pick of the Flicks Podcast #78

May 13, 2020 by Tom Beasley

On The Pick of the Flicks Podcast, a different guest drops in every week to chat about their favourite film. This week, Rachel Lee Goldenberg – director of the new Valley Girl remake – reveals her adoration for feminist road movie classic Thelma & Louise…

On this week’s episode of The Pick of the Flicks Podcast, Rachel Lee Goldenberg discusses her work on the new Valley Girl remake and then takes a ride with Susan Sarandon and Geena Davis as we chat about Thelma and Louise. We discuss those two iconic performances, the movie’s mastery of unique tone and the power of that final shot.

Julie (Jessica Rothe) is the ultimate ’80s Valley Girl. A creative free spirit; Julie’s time is spent with her best friends shopping at the Galleria mall and making plans for senior prom. That is, until she falls hard for Randy (Joshua Whitehouse), a Sunset Strip punk rocker, who challenges everything the Valley and Julie stand for. Despite push-back from friends and family, Julie must break out of the safety of her world to follow her heart and discover what it really means to be a Valley Girl.

Valley Girl is available on VOD platforms now.
