welcome to my podcast! i do it when i feel like it and today, i feel like talking about a movie i’ve watched 6 times - bottoms, directed and co-written by emma seligman. look, i’m not a cinephile. but what i am is a girl with a microphone and a f*ck ass podcast. and what i WANT is this movie to walk away with one of those sexy little golden statues named oscar.
syllabus
- why wouldn’t bottoms get an oscar? (wait, will it?) (no.) (but WHY NOT?!)
- welcome to riverdale world, dollface
- breaking down what archie andrews goes through in riverdale from a physical standpoint: bear attack, forced to fight to the death in juvie, high school football, boxing match against head mob boss to save the town.
- girls can do anything boys can do… question mark?
- the plot
- playing with time and space
- adults being completely powerless against the larger forces of evil (classic)
- emma selgiman and rachel sennot could write killers of the flower moon if: they had a lot of historical background background, took their time, drank tea.
as always, please feel empowered to listen at x1.5 speed. xoxo
