Film Club Face-off

In this episode, Amanda and Leigh discuss two recent cult classics and feminist horror films, Ginger Snaps and Jennifer's Body. Happy very belated Halloween! A perfect storm of illnesses and international travel worked against us this month.CWs: Suicide, rape/sexual assault, murder, needles, drug use, predatory men, death/murder, cannibalism, body horror, dismemberment, animal death, fetishizing of WLW content, fire, kidnapping, PTSD, discussion of toxic masculinity behaviours, *cis-normative discussion*The entire conversation is very cis-normative in talking about girls/women and puberty. Neither of us believe that menstruation makes a person a woman or that only women menstruate. The conversations we had about these films were about the representation of these things in the context of cis girls/women, who seemed to be the targeted audience, and we tried to do so in a way that wasn’t invalidating to others. Please let us know if we did not accomplish this. We always have a goal to be mindful of these things,
