As we pointed out before, almost every single celebrity cameo in Spice World The Movie is male – which seems odd, considering it’s a movie about #girlpower.

However, it’s worth noting that many of the more questionable men are reformed or change their attitudes in one way or another by the band, and the crux of the film’s story is all about female friendship (it never ends, you guys) and total badassery. We watch as Geri and the gang run circles around any guy who dares to try and control, torment, mansplain, or oppress them in any way. They refuse to be reduced to the sum of their body parts, or sexualised in any way. They refuse to be silenced. And they’re more than willing to stand up to the patriarchy and call them out on their bulls**t, all while supporting the women in their lives and helping them to shine as brightly as possible.

Best of all, when men drive them apart, the Spice Girls don’t fall into the trap of badmouthing or treating one another like the enemy. Instead, they meet up, talk through their problems, and rise like beautiful phoenixes out of the ashes – making this a far deeper movie than we ever realised.

Hmm. Anyone else up for a rewatch, all of a sudden?
