Raid the closet for tear-away suits and make a "real" martini because we're talking about Paul Feig's suburban noir, A Simple Favor (2018).

Joining us is Dread Central writer and We Really Like Her co-host Emily Gagne, who needed a second screening of the film to warm to its bisexual charms.

Up for discussion: "pretty" girls Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick, shockingly casual incest, Henry Golding's career as a side piece, why this film qualifies as an Erotic Thriller, and *lots* of tangents about women-centric performances and films, including Letterboxd's High Risers, Cruel Intentions, and Legally Blonde.
