This week on Two Girl Cinema Club, we begin Naughty November with some films about age gap relationships that cross the line. Before we get into the films, we talk some industry news. Last week, it was announced that Jennifer Lawrence and Emma Stone will be making a Miss Piggy movie with Cole Escola writing the script. There are so few details about this that we’re not really sure what to think or how these stars would portray Miss Piggy. We also talk about some of the recent allegations that have been made about Damien Leone on the Terrifier sets, and OUTER DARK which is set to go into production next year and stars Jacob Elordi and Lily-Rose Depp. Hannah also has been catching up with Secret Lives of Mormon Wives and we discuss the future of reality tv. 

Some of the films we cover this week are controversial, but also acclaimed and popular. To start, we discussed Palo Alto which was made before the fall of James Franco. Watching this now, seeing Franco in this role is very unsettling given the allegations that were made against him. The Graduate deals with an age gap affair, but nothing illegal is happening here. The acting here is so good, but we feel the movie lost its emotional tone as it headed into the third act. Lolita (1997) is based on a highly popular novel and the relationship depicted is disturbing to say the least. While we haven’t read the book, it’s our understanding that it’s clear our narrator is unreliable and mentally ill, where that isn’t really clear in this version of the film. Finally, we come to May December. You might remember a previous episode where we discussed this film after it was released and neither of us had seen it since. We were pleasantly surprised on the second watch and love Charles Melton’s portrayal of a young victim now in adulthood.
