“Needs moar bewbs.”
After kicking September off with discussions of Tim Burton’s classic Beetlejuice (listen) and the modern zombie film The Girl With All the Gifts (listen), we’ve finally reached our 300th episode! To celebrate this milestone, we’re doing a 6-week theme month of Diva/Anniversary worship (running all the way through Halloween), and we’re starting by revisiting a film we covered in one of our earliest episodes so that we can give it the proper, modern HQ treatment: Karyn Kusama‘s Jennifer’s Body (2009)!
In Jennifer’s Body, When popular girl Jennifer (Megan Fox) is possessed by a demon after a botched ritual, she turns a hungry eye on guys who never stood a chance with her before. While Jennifer satisfies her appetite for human flesh with the school’s male population, her best friend Needy (Amanda Seyfried) learns what’s happening and vows to put an end to the carnage.

Episode 300: Jennifer’s Body (2009) Redux feat. Mae Shults
Put away that Thai food and get ready to be lime green Jell-O because we’re celebrating our 300th episode with a month-long theme of gay icons and anniversaries! And what better way to kick things off than by revisiting a film we covered in one of our earliest episodes? That’s right, it’s time to revisit Jennifer’s Body (2009)! Tagging in for the conversation is Mae Shults, the co-host of the Lady Killers Podcast!
Join us as we begin this super-sized, 3-hour episode (yes, really) by doing a proper deep dive into the film’s production history (our format has changed a bit since we discussed it way back in 2019), including a lengthy conversation about the public shaming Megan Fox endured after she made some comments about Michael Bay.
Plus: script leaks, “Twilight for boys,” a lesson in polyamory, wetties, afterbirth prom dresses and so much more. When all is said and done, we can finally cross out Jennifer’s Body!
Cross out Jennifer’s Body (again)!
Coming up on Wednesday: We’re delving outside of the horror genre (and continuing our diva worship) to discuss Jonathan Glazer’s controversial Nicole Kidman film Birth.
