She plays Misty Quigley, a nurse whose behavior tends more sociopathic than empathetic. As 19th-century ax murderer Lizzie Borden in The Lizzie Borden Chronicles, which earned her a Screen Actors Guild Award nomination in 2016.Īnd it just so happens that Ricci is breaking out again, this time in the hit series Yellowjackets, which returns to Showtime this spring. As a nymphomaniac chained to a radiator in 2006’s controversial Black Snake Moan. As the steadfast lover to Charlize Theron’s serial killer Aileen Wuornos in the 2003 film Monster. Or as disgruntled camper Wednesday Addams torturing camp counselor Christine Baranski in Addams Family Values-camp being the operative word here. Like as a tiny backup singer and dancer behind Cher in the music video of “The Shoop Shoop Song (It’s in His Kiss),” from the soundtrack of her film debut, the 1990 movie Mermaids.

All in all, Addams Family Values toes-the-line of screwball and satire rather well and makes this sequel to a movie no one asked for completely worth a rewatch and a conversation.Having worked as an actress since she was 8 years old, Christina Ricci has had her share of breakout moments. While the episode itself might get a bit hyperbolic about the movie’s “wokeness”, Blake and Josh hail the exceptional characters, perfectly weighted gallows humor, and oddly exceptional use of the Addams Family to make incisive class-centric commentary.

Enlisting the help of Blake Collier, they set out to find an explanation for why this movie is so great, doesn’t feel dated, and also one of the more progressive comedies of the 1990’s. Leave it to Josh to pick a non-scary movie for October, but he tries his best by picking a horror-adjacent movie in the 1993 Barry Sonnenfeld movie, Addams Family Values.
