Betches Video Club
Hosted by Betches Media · ENGLISH
Think A/V club, but with more yapping, hotter takes, and zero regard for the Oscars. Hosted by four of Betches’ resident film experts (with plenty of opinions and just enough film knowledge to be dangerous), each genre-themed episode dives into a spirited showdown over the truly important cinematic questions—like who’s the throbbiest heartthrob, which sidekick earns the “Judy Greer Award for Best Best Friend,” and which film takes home the top honor: “Best Picture,” AKA the one we just couldn’t stop laughing about.

"Forbidden Fruits" Is An Instant Cult Classic
Mar 2300:23:26Tap to summarizeThis week we’re diving into “Forbidden Fruits” and instead of guessing what the film is trying to say, we went straight to the source. We sat down with co-writer Lily Houghton to talk through the story, what inspired it, and the themes that might not be as obvious on the surface. From how the script evolved to the parts of the film people might interpret differently, this is a deeper look at what’s really going on behind the scenes. If you’ve been curious about “Forbidden Fruits” or feel like there’s more to unpack, this conversation gives you the context you didn’t know you needed. youtube.com/@betchesvideoclub #ForbiddenFruits #FilmInterview #Screenwriting #MoviePodcast #Filmmaking #BehindTheScenes #Screenwriter #FilmIndustry #IndieFilm #CinemaTalk #MovieDiscussion #WritingProcess #UpcomingMovies Learn more about your ad choices.

Transcribe →‘Clueless’: Are We Supposed to Ignore the Josh Thing?
Mar 200:26:19Tap to summarizeThis week we’re revisiting the movie that is spiritually, fundamentally Betches: ‘Clueless’. Cher Horowitz is the blueprint for every main character who came after her, the fashion is still elite, and the matchmaking confidence? Aspirational. But we also spend a lot of time unpacking the part of this movie that still sparks real debate: the Cher and Josh romance. Is the ex-stepbrother thing overblown, or did the ’90s fully gaslight us? Are we romanticizing something that deserves a little more side-eye? We get into why the discourse won’t die, whether the relationship actually holds up, and why it somehow still works emotionally even when you’re questioning it intellectually. We’re also talking Cher as a low-key genius, why this movie is sharper and smarter than people give it credit for, and how ‘Clueless’ quietly set the standard for every teen rom-com that followed. If you understand Clueless, you understand us. As if we wouldn’t give this movie the deep dive it deserves. #Clueless #CherHorowitz #CherAndJosh #AliciaSilverstone #PaulRudd #AmyHeckerling #90sMovies #TeenMovies #RomCom #CultClassic #RomComPodcast #MoviePodcast #FilmDiscussion #PopCulturePodcast #BetchesVideoClub Learn more about your ad choices.

Transcribe →Is ‘Wuthering Heights’ the Most Toxic Love Story Ever Written?
Feb 2300:32:12Tap to summarizeThis week we’re diving into Emerald Fennell’s ‘Wuthering Heights’ and asking the question we kept circling back to: are we supposed to see this as romance… or as pure emotional devastation? We unpack the casting discourse, why the internet had immediate opinions, and how Fennell’s gothic, stylized approach reframes Heathcliff and Cathy’s obsession. Is Heathcliff a tragic romantic hero, or are we collectively gaslighting ourselves? Does this adaptation justify its existence, or are we just addicted to watching toxic love stories play out beautifully? We talk performances, tone, what feels distinctly Fennell about this version, and whether this story still works for modern audiences - or if we’re romanticizing something we probably shouldn’t. youtube.com/@betchesvideoclub #WutheringHeights #WutheringHeights2026 #EmeraldFennell #Heathcliff #CathyEarnshaw #EmilyBronte #BookToFilm #LiteraryAdaptation #GothicRomance #FilmPodcast #MovieDiscussion #CastingControversy #RomanceMovies #ToxicRomance #FilmAnalysis #CinemaTalk #BetchesVideoClub Learn more about your ad choices.
