The Cultural Gutter is a website dedicated to thoughtful writing about disreputable art. The site is updated every Thursday afternoon. Carol Borden, alex MacFadyen, Beth Watkins, and Angela Englert probe science fiction, draw out the best in comics, stare deeply into the screen, sink their fangs into horror, dally with romance, speedrun their brains on videogames and explore so much more. Our Guest Stars shine here.
Thanks to Gutter aesthetic director Brian Kirby for all his swank art. Thanks to EJ Lee for providing the fantastic art we used in the Cultural Gutter book. The Cultural Gutter’s signature nail polish, “Disreputable,” was created by Andrea Evans of MPZ Cosmetics.

I am somewhat ashamed how rarely it has occurred to me that these movies came out right after WWII and how they are clearly tapping into anxiety of women in the workplace, men not being “at home” during the war, and service men going into countries where the men are all dead, away in the service or POW camps, disabled, or displaced.
