- TwilightToday we tackle undertaking number two from the tremendous Catherine Hardwicke in talking about Twilight. It is a truthful translation of a truly terrible tome written by Stephanie Meyer. It's a terrible tale which is a true testament to the extent of trauma perpetuated bon Christian girls. And a purity culture, which encourages ignoring relationships red flags in pursuit of "love" is is tantamount to abuse. This one's got everything: being the new girl, deciding who you are, confusing lust of love, it even ends at prom! Who are we kidding, we just talked about how abusive this relationship is. follow us on twitter Subscribe to our Patreon Album Art by Dresden Satrunalia1 hr 7 min

40 min - ThirteenWe're back and this first one is a doozy! We're diving into the Catherine Hardwicke pool at the deep end with the harrowing tale of teenage addiction that is Thirteen. This film is a beautiful, grimy, slice of teen life and a testament to the great ends that teens will go to in order to belong. We're joined by Alexa's spouse, Greyson Haack, who is something of a subject matter expert, and who provides a tone of much needed insight into this difficult topic. Lots of content warning for this one, so listeners beware. CW: Abuse, Addiction, drug use, eating disorders, self harm, suicide, body dysmorphia, & sexual assault. follow us on twitter

Give a big Anthropology welcome to our next guest in the director's chair: journalist, screenwriter, director extraodinaire; Cameron Crowe. We begin our deep dive with Singles from 1992: an exploration of young love in the grimy Seattle grunge scene of the early 90s.
