content warning sexual assault mention i was both so excited for the day you'd pick this movie and additionally apprehensive because I think it needs to be accompanied by a queer woman's voice (esp a femme lesbian) when discussing it because some of the nuances can get overlooked. This movie has regained a cult following over the last few years specifically in young wlw bc of the relationships that happen between young queer women who are also struggling with comphet, the ways in which our sexuality are not our own but something to be consumed, the rates of assault in women esp when we talk abt Corrective Rape, and the fact that just... the encountering of Men alone who hold the power to end out lives on a whim is a horror we live through daily moving forward i'd love if it was possible for you guys to have more guests on to give voice to these sorts of things? Queer women if the movie is abt queer women, bipoc when the story is made by or abt them yknow?

Agreed. This movie resonates completely differently to queer women than what I heard from Jeffrey and Cecil. I think the perspective of any woman, especially a queer woman who lived through their adolescence in the early 2000, would've brought many needed nuances to this episode.

I can't believe Jeffrey said that My Chemical Romance and Maroon5 sound the same, I almost dropped the plate I was washing upon hearing that comment. On a more serious note, I agree with what many have already stated in this thread : a female perspective would've been appropriate for this episode in particular. This movie achieved cult status because of how it resonated amongst young women. Jennifer articulated stuff many of us had never heard in mainstream media back then. Her cynical worldview didn't read that funny as a woman, but rather a bitter reality. As fans of the horror genre, we saw for the first time a protagonist owning "being an object". Her comments were extremely cathartic, in a very similar way to revenge porn, more than comedy. I almost can't believe you didn't comment on its most iconic line. "You're killing people!" "Noooo... I'm killing boys. Boys are just playthings. They come and they go." Jennifer articulates how women are not only viewed in the horror genre, but in society as a whole. While cringey today, and being a very Y2K kinda oversimplified white feminism, it immediately made many of us go "YESSS", even if we couldn’t understand why yet.

Oh, this reminded me of one more thing I wanted to say about this movie! The scene where Jennifer is smearing this thick layer of concealer/foundation on her face?!?! It has got to be one of my favorite and most memorable scenes of all the movies I've ever watched. I absolutely believe this scene is worthy of a good 5-10 page breakdown. It's one of those scenes that always come up if I'm talking to a friend about it and another reason why I think a female perspective when discussing this film would've really been nice to have here!
