61: Jennifer's Body (2009) "J-Bod"

Why the Flick?

Happy Pride Month all you lime green Jell-Os and snowflake queens! We’re celebrating this joyful time of year with a movie that totally slays in every way. That’s right — it’s Jennifer’s Body (2009). Joining us to talk about the renaissance of this cult classic are our BFFs Chelsea and Monica from Spooky Tuesday. While it didn’t get the recognition it deserved at the time, we’re doing our part this episode to help keep it in the zeitgeist. Because with icons like Diablo Cody, Karyn Kusama, Amanda Seyfried, and Megan Fox, this film really is by the girlies for the girlies. So come along as we talk about the unrated version, complex female friendships, sexist marketing, and queer representation.
