Nine Women, Twelve's Better - Practical Magic (1998) (01:27:12)
Ah, Halloween! Days of candles, candy, cauldrons, and unholy necromancy to try and cover up an accidental murder. Today, we’re covering 1998’s Practical Magic, the story of two sisters gripped by a generational curse that dooms any man they love. Things get messy, but that’s to be expected when combining romance, magic, and a hint of belladonna. Dex and Summer are getting in to the weeds on magic, family, and breaking old curses with a little help from your coven. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Dentata - Teeth (2007) (01:28:21)
Content Warning: Rape/ sexual assault, religious trauma, purity culture, castration, explicit discussion of sexual topics. It's crazy what purity culture (and some genetic mutation) does to a mf. In this episode, Dex and Summer discuss the 2007 cult horror Teeth, about a high school girl who realizes she has a terrifying (but pretty helpful) adaptation. Let's explore some genital horror and analyze this narrative as a coming of age story, a rape revenge story, and a modern interpretation of a classic Greek myth. We'll share our thoughts on purity culture and agency and why this terrible movie is so compelling to a generation of people who grew up in a sex-negative age. Get ready to get up close and personal with some teeth. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Maybe don't look up.Summer and Danni are finally reunited to talk about Nope, the 2022 horror/action by Jordan Peele. This sci-fi powerhouse about horses, chimps, and UFOs, is a stunning examination of filmmaking, gaze, and the link between past and future.

Walk The Hard Elvis - Walk Hard (2007) (01:31:54)
In this episode, we take an enthusiastic look at the iconic, parodic, star making comedy, Walk Hard (2007). We compare it to its main inspiration (Walk the Line, 2005) and a spiritual successor that knocked us off our feet last year (Elvis, 2022), taking a look at how comedy changes the pacing and characterization of three parallel protagonists. Listen as we examine what this movie says about parody, biopics, and what it looks like when a satire loves and understands the genre it's here to make fun of.Not to mention, you get to hear us try to keep the names of Walk Hard and Walk the Line straight in our heads, which is not an easy feat. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
All I Know Is That I Love You - Bones and All (2022) (01:40:02)

But this 2022 movie makes an amazing case for why we should love and be loved anyway. Join Danni and Summer as they discuss Luca Guadagnino’s beautiful, dreamy, horrible cannibal love story and discover what it says about our undeniable truths. Hosted on Acast.

Topics include the 1920s Manic Pixie Dream Girl, an examination of immortality, and a thorough rant about some infuriating queer representation. We're still not sure if Chazelle came out as a hero or a villain in all this, but hey, that amazing party scene will get you through pretty much anything.Content warning for discussions of drug use, racism, and suicide.———Fine us online! https://linktr.ee/bisexuallylit Hosted on Acast.
