Show Notes
We are blessed with culture critic, podcaster and producer Jordan Crucchiola's in-depth takes on the Karyn Kusama-directed, Diablo Cody-penned, Megan Fox-starring Jennifer's Body (2009), where a teen girl becomes possessed and turns into a succubus after she is sacrificed to Satan.
From 1:04:25, we discuss All Cheerleader's Die (2013), a film that has witchcraft, zombies, cheerleaders, magic crystals, and high school politics. A rebel girl signs up a group of cheerleaders to help her take down the captain of their high school football team.
Digressions include: simpler times on social media, Big Cate Blanchett Energy, having fun with trash.
Read the article Jordan references on the reappraisal of Jennifer's Body: You Probably Owe "Jennifer's Body" An Apology.
