In this episode, we sit down with writer Landon Lee and director Allison Roberto to dive into their sharp, funny, and delightfully twisted short film Girls Night In—a satirical horror story born from one deceptively simple question:
What happens when you build a film around the Bechdel test… and then immediately break it in the most absurd way possible?
The Bechdel test, of course, asks whether a work of fiction includes at least two women who talk to each other about something other than a man. Landon and Allison took that premise and flipped it on its head, asking:
“Where is the most ridiculous place two women could be fighting over some guy?”
The result is a genre-bending short that blends horror, comedy, and social commentary with a wink—and a few splashes of blood.
