Spherical, but quite pointy at parts!On this week’s episode of Deep Thoughts About Stupid Sh*t, Tracie unpacks the good, the bad, the poorly aged, and the likely-to-make-a-vegan-queasy about the underrated 1993 comedy So I Married an Axe Murderer. The sisters discuss how important changes in gender politics and expression over the last 30 years have made May’s handsiness and the character of Vicky cringey and they dive into the toxicity of 1990s expectation that men fear commitment.On the plus side, Alan Arkin’s role as Tony’s police captain shows us consent done right!Head! Earbuds! Now! You’ll be glad you listened.Mentioned in this episode:Stephen Hunter’s review of Axe MurdererRoger Ebert’s review of Axe MurdererChristian blogger’s take on commitment in Axe MurdererOur theme music is "Professor Umlaut" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Learn more about Tracie and Emily (including our other projects), join the Guy Girls' family, secure exclusive access to bonus episodes, video versions, and early access to Deep Thoughts by visiting us on Patreon. We are the sister podcasters Tracie Guy-Decker and Emily Guy Birken, known to our extended family as the Guy Girls.We're hella smart and completely unashamed of our overthinking prowess.
