Welcome to episode 8 of season 2 of The Lavender Menace, where your cohosts Sunny and Renaissance are finally in the same city, house, room! Our sunnaissance in St. Louis era has been documented extensively on @thelavenderpod on Twitter, our personal Twitters (@asunnybooknook & @rxnaissance), and Renaissance's Instagram @renaissancemarie, if you want to go check that out... anyways today we discuss Lorde's highly anticipated third album, Solar Power. As usual with music (re: our SOUR review episode), Renaissance is a hater and Sunny loves it. Then, we discuss a listener submitted hot take from Jules about the discourse going on with Twitter fighting about Hasan, a "socialist' internet streamer, buying a multimillion dollar house in Los Angelos, and consider the impossible future of this podcast blowing up and becoming rich. Basically, we are Hasan haters and Alexis @lexi4prez on Twitter stans. We watched Assassination Nation (2018) directed by Sam Levinson and have thoughts about the hypersexualization of teenage girlhood, American fascist violence, and the melodrama of cinema about high schoolers. Finally, for recommendations, Sunny recommends the translated book An Elderly Lady Is Up To No Good by Helene Tursten, and Renaissance recommends the movie 9 to 5 (1980) directed by Bruce Gilbert.
