his week, I delve into one of the most emotionally raw rape-revenge thrillers of the 2010s — M.F.A. starring Francesca Eastwood as Noelle, an art student whose life is shattered after a brutal assault. But when the system fails her, she doesn’t just seek justice… she becomes it.
We break down how M.F.A. flips the revenge narrative on its head with haunting realism and feminist fury — and I make connects to the true horror of the Brock Turner case, where a convicted rapist served just three months in jail after being caught assaulting an unconscious woman behind a dumpster.
What happens when a survivor stops waiting for justice and starts creating her own?
Trigger warning: this episode includes discussions of sexual assault, trauma, and real-life rape cases.
