Show Notes
Brazilian film Medusa uses the Greek myth of the gorgon as a metaphor to tell the story of a young woman's awakening about the Christo-fascist bubble that's become her whole world. Join Juliet and Theresa to talk about how this film uses the concepts of gaze and disfigurement, its nods to Argento and Luca Guadagnino and why public proposals are not so great.
CW/TW: intimate partner abuse/violence; brief mentions of rape
Theme music: "Book of Shadows" by Houseghost (Rad Girlfriend Records)
