In this slightly longer episode we tackle Gillian Flynn's and David Fincher's Gone Girl (2014), as a heteronormative woman's violent breakaway from a 'type' that she feels pulled towards in her marriage - unusual, impolite, homicidal, spectacular.
Channeling Valerie Solanas' Society for Cutting Up Men (SCUM) - allowing this monstrosity to unfold on its own terms - reveals an inversion to existing 'types' and power dynamics in modern western heteronormative marriages. The male's distance-fantasy, when literally traversed by Amy's monstrosity, exposes many of Solanas' tropes in Amy's "husband" Nick: the masculine flirtation with death, hetero-men's shallow stake in life and experience, their deep-seated yearning for passivity, and, not least, the way all these find encouragement, indeed a "home," in the 'married couple.'
Also note Sagi's performative (and constative!) stupidity (in a rare shitshow of a disclaimer that we hope you survive).
This episode features the Beast and Sovereign and Pervs R' Us Stars, with some grudging Marx in the margins.
