Wedding march or funeral dirge? We're joined to discuss the penultimate (and Peyton's least-favorite) chapter of Little Women by film critic Willow Catelyn Maclay. Willow is a film critic for publications like The Village Voice, Roger Ebert, Vulture, Little White Lies, Cleo Journal, MUBI Notebook, and many, many more. She has done freelance work with Netflix and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. Most recently, she co-authored the book Corpses, Fools, and Monsters: An Examination of Trans Film Images in Cinema. It’s due out on July 9, 2024, and it’s available for pre-order now.
