A Dangerous Woman (1993)

Ramblin: An Amblin Podcast

After a brief hiatus, the Ramblin boys are back, baby, with an episode on a film that was so hard to track down that we almost had to do the unthinkable and skip it. Yes, that’s right, we’re talking A DANGEROUS WOMAN, Stephen Gyllenhaal’s 1993 melodrama starring Debra Winger, Barbara Hershey and Gabriel Byrne. It’s a film that comes the closest to not actually existing out of any we’ve covered yet, but still provides plenty of fertile ground for discussion. Join us as we work through such questions as ‘isn’t Byrne a dish?’ and ‘who exactly is the dangerous woman?’ and ‘just how cack-handedly is this going to deal with the representation of neurodivergence?’ (Hint: About as well as you’d think.)
