damn, the 80s were onto something

and as for the "Rowan, why are you starting this project on satire movies with CARRIE, a horror movie?", well, that's a question we get into on the show and I think will be VERY clear when we hit HEATHERS

As for next week specifically -- when recording we were considering doing Sixteen Candles, but have since decided that The Breakfast Club is a better fit. It's Rowan's first time!

For the latter, we'll be hitting on Heathers, Clueless, Mean Girls, Easy A, Bottoms, and several others! We've also got @christyadmiraal.bsky.social as a co-host for these and maybe more, who can say for sure, certainly not us or her

Throughout this year, we'll be alternating months between doing more science fiction films and The Teen Girl High School Social Satire Canon. with the former, we'll be doing Charlie Kaufman films next month, including Eternal Sunshine, Synecdoche NY, and probably Being John Malkovich

Rowan, I have bad news

And finally: should you watch the Cannes cut?

Answer: the Cannes cut doesn't improve upon the film. Only watch it if you feel like watching Southland Tales a second time.

Oral history of the film's screening at Cannes.

"I was nervous about the incomplete nature of the film, but I think I just wasn’t prepared for any of it."

This article was a big help during recording. Great rundown of the plot but also a reminder that yes, this is a Book of Revelation adaptation in part.
