s4e4 DEBS: But She Has to Mean It!

D.E.B.S. (dir. Angela Robinson) is a 2004 film about a group of young women who have passed the secret test imbedded in the SAT, thus enabling them to train as spies, and what happens when one of them falls for the supervillain they’ve been assigned to apprehend.Join Hal, Z, and special guest host Vera as they discuss the military industrial complex, what makes an interesting villain, and how Max really should’ve been the main character of this movie.We’d like to thank EnoffMusic for our theme song.TW: this film and our discussion of it contain depictions of homophobia (specifically lesbophobia), guns and violence, institutional racism, misogyny, and tokenism. Be aware that Jimmy Simpson says the r-slur in this film for no reason (the reason is it was 2004).
