Buckle up for an unforgettable ride with our latest episode of the Gimme Three Podcast!
Join co-host Bella Efstratis and her special “ride or die” guest, Remy Smith, as they dive into the empowering world of Ride or Die films, showcasing some of cinema’s most unforgettable female friendships. From the hilarious escapades of Molly & Amy in Olivia Wilde’s teen comedy Booksmart, to the legendary rebellion of Ridley Scott’s iconic duo Thelma & Louise, and the gripping camaraderie of the sisterhood in F. Gary Gray’s cult classic Set It Off, these films spotlight true ride-or-die women and their unbreakable bonds.
In this episode, best friends Bella and Remy celebrate the power of women and friendship. They explore the magnified pressure of high school and teen relationships, the enduring relevance of Thelma & Louise, and the empowering defiance of gender and societal expectations depicted in these films.
As Cleo says in Set it Off: “We're in this together, we ride together. We're gonna do this thing till the wheels fall off." So grab your popcorn and your best friends for a cinematic joyride like no other.
Don’t miss out on this episode filled with laughter, heart, and a tribute to our unshakeable ride-or-die friendships!
