  In this solo episode of Her Cut, I’m celebrating one month of the podcast by looking back on a challenge that completely consumed my summer: watching 100 movies in 100 days, all directed by women.Over the course of the challenge, I watched films spanning from 1940 to 2026, representing 17 different countries and 78 different directors. In this episode, I’m sharing the themes I started to notice, the filmmakers whose work I fell in love with, and some of my biggest discoveries along the way.If you're looking for your next movie to watch, this episode is full of recommendations—and hopefully, a reminder to seek out a filmmaker or film that might not already be on your radar.
