Written by Diablo Cody, directed by Karyn Kusama, and starring Megan Fox, JENNIFER’S BODY is the next in our series featuring women filmmakers. The film struggled to find an audience in 2009, but has earned a reappraisal in recent years. It’s new to Anita and Ebony, but luckily we’re joined by writer, producer, podcast host, returning FFR guest, and notably, “America’s Foremost Scholar on Jennifer’s Body”, Jordan Crucchiola. Opinions are strong and varied so buckle in for a lively discussion. And if you’re a Patron (or want to become one) visit Patreon.com/femfreq for a Patron exclusive unedited video of our recording!
CW: We use offensive and derogatory language in this episode. It’s discussed within the context of films that have used these words, but we do not censor the language.
