Jennifer's Body (with Olga Lexell)
from Snails & Oysters · host Snails & Oysters
Nat and Alli close out 2021 with writer, writers' assistant, and labor activist Olga Lexell, who visits Snails & Oysters Studios to talk about 2009's camp horror classic Jennifer's Body. Widely misunderstood on release, recently a new critical consensus has arisen that director Karyn Kusama and writer Diablo Cody's collaboration was NOT "Twilight for boys," but a wry, incisive, and blisteringly intelligent satire of 2000s sexual politics, popular culture, and political learned helplessness.
