This week on VHS Therapy, Mary and Teddy revisit the 90s thriller Kiss the Girls (1997) starring Morgan Freeman and Ashley Judd.

What once felt like a gripping serial killer mystery now raises deeper questions about how violence—especially against women—has been portrayed as entertainment.

The sisters break down the film through a modern lens, including Ashley Judd’s recent reflections on the role and whether movies like this still hold up today.
