Flick Fix- Better Man and Cat Ballou (1965) - 02/12/25

Reinvention is never easy, but it’s at the heart of both films in this episode of Flick Fix! First up, we dive into Better Man, the ambitious musical biopic that chronicles the highs and lows of Robbie Williams’ career. Blending surreal storytelling with raw emotion, does this film capture the essence of the pop icon, or does it struggle to find its rhythm?

Then, we head to the Wild West with Cat Ballou, the 1965 comedy-western that flips the genre on its head. Jane Fonda leads the charge as a woman seeking justice in a world ruled by men, proving she’s just as tough—if not tougher—than the cowboys around her. With its playful yet subversive take on the western, could Cat Ballou be considered an early feminist film? We’ll break it all down.

From pop stardom to pistol duels, this episode is packed with surprises—tune in to hear all about it!
