Welcome to PERIOD PIECE, our new monthly feature where Lucy is on her period and Bash makes her watch a historical film. Because education πŸ‘ never πŸ‘ stops.


This week, we're reviewing an old favorite called "The Favourite" (God, I'm a poet). Starring Rachel Weisz, Olivia Colman, and Emma Stone, this sultry romp follows an alleged love triangle that rocked 18th century England. It's the story of Queen Anne, last royal of the Stuart line, and the rugmunching rivalry of her court favorites: Sarah, Duchess of Marlborough, and Abigail Masham, Baroness...something.


But how much of the film is true to history? Who served the fiercest c*nt in life vs. onscreen? And most importantly, who read whomst to truest filth? Come for the bisexy history and stay for our Top Five Period Moments in all the familiar menstrual categories: Sex, Tears, Violence, Misogyny, and our favorite, Quippery & Bitchery.
