dimanche 29 septembre 2024 • Duration 13:25

The first 500 people to use our link https://skl.sh/thetake10241 will get a 1 month free trial of Skillshare premium! From Twin Peaks to Heathers to Teen Witch to Beetlejuice's Lydia Deetz to The Craft to Buffy and beyond, we're taking a look at the scary teen girl and... *why* she became so scary. There are certain characters who are iconic villains and monsters, but one scary figure in pop culture doesn’t outwardly appear so terrifying at all. She’s vengeful and ruthless, cold and cunning. She has the tactical prowess of a political mastermind and the calculating mind of a killer – and she does it all from behind a sweet, innocent facade. The teenage girl is at the heart of so many shows – and she’s only getting scarier. So when did Hollywood turn her so terrifying – and what’s driving the shift? In this three-part series, we’re going to take you on a trip into the history of the terrifying teen girl onscreen. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

mardi 20 août 2024 • Duration 13:08

Go to https://casino.draftkings.com and sign up with code THETAKE - new players can get $100 in casino credits with just a $1 wager.

But while Carrie Bradshaw became a beloved character despite (or, perhaps, even because of) her flaws, Emily Cooper hasn’t managed to work her way into audiences’ hearts in quite the same way… but why? What is it that sets Carrie apart from Emily? Let’s take a deeper look at that, plus analyze how the creative team has been trying to fix Emily in more recent seasons and how that is (and isn’t) working. Learn more about your ad choices.
