Week Of Women: November 8-14, 2019

by Lydia Wang

It’s a great week for women in entertainment—and, evidently, a great week for Christmas movies, if you’re already in the holiday mood. Dust off your Mariah Carey and check out everything that we’ve got our eyes on this weekend.

MOVIES/TV

Last Christmas

It’s hard to imagine a better team than writer Emma Thompson, director Paul Feig, and leading lady Emilia Clarke. Together, the group has joined forces for the Christmas rom-com Last Christmas. Out November 8.

Let it Snow

And speaking of holiday movies, Netflix’s latest YA-novel-turned-movie is heading right to your laptop on November 8. Featuring an ensemble cast and a central queer love story, this movie is the perfect pick for anyone counting down the days ’til Lara Jean and Peter Kavinsky come back this February. Stay tuned for more coverage on BUST.com.

Cooking With Pride

 

November 8 also marks the premiere of YouTuber Ingrid Nilsen’s new cooking show. The premise? That food—and the process of cooking—is about way more than just what we put in our bodies. Catch the show on Facebook Watch, and don’t miss our interview with Ingrid here.

Stuffed: A Documentary on the Art of Taxidermy

 

On the latest episode of BUST’s Poptarts podcast, our hosts were joined by filmmaker Erin Derham. Derham’s documentary Stuffed—all about the art of taxidermy—is now open in select theaters.
