<p>For Saoli's HalloweenMonth2k17 pick, we watched the extremely rape-y 1981 Japanese anime version of "Swan Lake". It's not so much a cute little romp as it is an allegory for sexual assault and the everlasting oppression of women. We also talk about Harvey Weinstein and the powerful sexual predator who's currently running the U.S. into the ground. And the talking squirrels! Yay!</p>

Episode 11: Swan Lake (1981)

What Doesn't Kill You (Only Almost Kills You) is hosted by Saoli Nguyen and Darlena Chiem, two humble-ish filmmakers who love horror movies. Well, Saoli loves horror movies. Darlena is a little weenie who has nightmares about them. One thing we both agree on is that horror movie villains (and plot contrivances) must be stopped. Whether it's a slasher flick or something more paranormal, we take it upon ourselves to figure out how to survive SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO. You're very welcome. Every two weeks, we watch a different horror movie (the crazier, the better) and b-storm survival strategies with the fervor of people who've actually had to escape from a cannibal horde. Other than that, there aren't many rules to this. Enjoy!
