Bad Girls on Film & Joss Whedon

Studio 360 | Jun 13, 2013

It’s summer movies in Studio 360 this week — big directors going small, small actors going big, and girls committing felonies. Vampire auteur Joss Whedon explains the appeal of a micro-budget Shakespeare film. Michael Shannon attempts to thwart the man of steel. Nancy Jo Sales, author of The Bling Ring, explains how Hollywood’s bad girls keep getting worse. And graphic design makes the news as Apple’s new operating system breaks a bad habit.
