Authors Micaiah Johnson (The Space Between Worlds) and Carmen Maria Machado (In the Dream House, Her Body and Other Parties) join Nerdette host Greta Johnsen to discuss the Oscar-nominated film ‘Promising Young Woman.’

‘Promising Young Woman’ is a genre-busting rape revenge tale starring Carey Mulligan as a flinty avenger on the hunt for so-called ‘nice guys.’ It has been nominated for five Academy Awards including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Actress. Bo Burnham, Connie Britton, Alison Brie, and Adam Brody also appear.
