In the first episode of Reel Rap Season 5, Shane and Bennett discuss Sofia Coppola’s directorial debut film, 1999’s The Virgin Suicides. They discuss how Coppola’s signature style began to make itself known in everything from the costumes and casting, to the acting and its portrayal of youth.

Also in this episode, they discuss the perennially underrated Kirsten Dunst, taking pride in work and the how film both employs and deconstructs the male gaze.
