Set It Off (2002) - Sapphic Stories ep6 - a podcast by WUSSY Mag

Today on Wussy Movie Club, we’re breaking down another classic in our season of Sapphic Stories -- the 1996 Blockbuster, “Set It Off” directed by F Gary Gray.

 

The film stars Vivica A Fox, Jada Pinkett Smith, Queen Latifah, and Kimberley Elise as a group of down-on-their-luck friends who team together to rob a bank. Latifah plays a lesbian named Cleo, in one of her first starring lead film roles. 

 

Joining us today to break down the fashion, the herstory, and the queerness of “Set It Off” on the podcast are our friends Luna Stroud, an Atlanta writer and film critic, and Shay Filmore, a New York based film programmer and host of the podcast ‘She’s Great in That’. 

 

WUSSY Movie Club is a weekly roundtable movie podcast with a Queer lens, featuring themed seasons and special interviews with Queer filmmakers.
