RAPTURE

Somewhere in northern Italy... kinda

This week, Jerwin and Elizabeth take a Euro vacation into the worlds of Aftersun and Don't Look Now.

Listen and hear their discussions of the complexities of loss, the memories we hold, and is Donald Sutherland handsome even though he's wearing a toupee?

Rapture is a podcast hosted by Jerwin Gabriel Santiago and Elizabeth Wayne, two timeless Chicago beauties who are young for their grade.

Join them every other week as they put off going to grad school by plunging the depths of culture, film, and whatever Nietzsche was talking about.

If your biggest regret was wearing Toms in middle school or the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City are your Jungian archetypes, then hiiiii!

Put on your sluttiest little shorts and hop in because we're going on a road trip! This week, Elizabeth and Jerwin watch coming-of-age, road movies Y tu mamá también (2001) and The Sweet East (2023). Listen to hear them ask some hard-hitting questions like:

-How many dick piercings is too many?

-Have you really thought about the geopolitical ramifications of the Eerie Canal lately?

-Where the fuck is Heaven's Mouth?

All this and more on this week's Rapture :)

What's the difference between love and obsession?

This week's Double Feature tries to get to the bottom of this ancient philosophical question and others such as "How did a movie from 1997 predicted how weird Reddit stans are?" and "Is the music in this supposed to be bad or does it just sound like Rex Orange County?"

Listen to the full episode to find out our conclusions : )
