This week, two films about women out to even the score. Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) stars Margot Robbie as Harley, who, as the Joker's recently ex-girlfriend, has a few beefs with male supervillains. And The Rhythm Section stars Blake Lively as a woman on a mission to avenge the death of her family. To help us understand what makes these characters tick like virtual time bombs, host Natasha Gargiulo speaks with psychologist Hina Khan. We also get some unique perspective from Mark Burnell, who wrote both the original novel and the screenplay for The Rhythm Section.
