Drive-in Saturdays

Content warnings: Blood, gore, violence, body horror, self-injury, suicide, institutionalisation, needles... Uh. Lots of things. This week we explored one of my personal favourite film subgenres, adolescent girl horror, with 1999 Canadian cult classic Ginger Snaps and... less-beloved Jennifer's Body, from 2009. We pull out our fancy cultural studies words; complain about the misrepresentation of the emo subculture; get nostalgic about the fashions of our tween and teen years; fall in love with Mrs. Fitzgerald; and spend a whole lot of time telling Diablo Cody to shut up. Interstitial music: David Bowie, Drive In Saturday Jack Off Jill, Strawberry Gashes Hole, Jennifer's Body Oingo Boingo, I Was A Teenage Monster   Menu: - Witch's fingers cookies - Strawberry cheesecake - Sweet-and-sour chicken breast Commentary tracks for these films are up on our Patreon for subscribers at $5 or more!
