Victims and Villains

What do we know about the motorcycle boy? Perhaps not as much as RustyJames who aims to step into his older brother's legend. On this episode of That's High Praise: A Nicolas Cage Podcast, we journey back to the year 1983 for a black and white coming of age movie that prompts the importance of identity, dangers of conformity and has Nicolas Cage sporting a hairdo as tall as his body of work. All this and more on this episode!

Hell is a teenage girl and a girl who has certainly earned herself a cult following since she lit up on the big screen in 2009. Jennifer’s Body is an intelligent look at feminism, symbolism, purity and much more. The film is a layered composition at how we process grief; while also look forward towards healing. The relationship between Megan Fox and Amanda Seyfried allows us to equally see a false sense of identity, how society treats women and how these two characters made the film ahead of its time. It’s about to get bloody, weird and deep as Kelly Reynolds, host of the Boobies and Noobies podcast (https://bit.ly/330guest), joins us to discuss the depth of Jennifer’s Body!
