Show Notes
Karyn Kusama's 2009 film Jennifer's Body, is finding an audience thanks to a mix of #metoo reckoning, queer analysis, oughts nostalgia, and public fascination with Megan Fox's hematophagic pairing with male scream queen Machine Gun Kelly. This film hasn't aged well, but our age is treating it well. We discuss whether that old-time patriarchy or a messy script with boring kills led to the initial cold reception of the film.
