This week, we’re finally back with special guest and resident twink, Adelynn Anderson to finish off our series on IT! Gaia is home from the farm and we have finished reading the monster of a book that is the IT Novel just in time to recap the entire thing for Adelynn. We start off the episode talking about collaboration as the only way to make good art and asking why Sofia Coppola doesn’t include women of color in her movies. We jump into the book by discussing why Stephen King feels compelled to write about hate crimes and slurs as a straight, white man, how they did Mike dirty in the movie, and why, even with all of this, the book is still “marginally” better than the movie (shocker, we know). Neeta mispronounces ‘auteur’ multiple times, Gaia has a breakdown over the sociopath bully children giving each other handjobs while also being homophobic to each other, we decide the only man allowed to write self insert films is Ari Aster and so much more this week on ‘Bitch, Why?’.

Be sure to leave us a review and email us at [email protected] if you have a topic you want us to cover (or just to say hi)! We’ll read them on the pod!
