  • Episode 34: Female Body Horror w/ Leah Williams
    Leah Williams guest hosts as we discuss female body horror in film and try to take down Rosemary's Baby (which we love despite Polanski) as the ultimate female-centric horror film. We do some Vagina Dentata and discuss Teeth (*trigger warning almost all of these films have either the spectre of sexual violence or outright sexual violence so these topics are discussed. Then we move into Ilana Glazer's newest star vehicle False Positive where she plays a soulless Brooklyn yuppie working with a sinister fertility clinic. Next we try to decide if our fav It Follows is sex positive or sex negative. We wrap up with talking a lot about periods, mentioning Carrie for good measure, oh and of course we gush endlessly about both Ginger Snaps and Jennifer's Body, two sister films all should watch.
