Manage episode 321088433 series 2911895
It's trigger warnings for alllllll the things this week as we discuss the lulz in Sam Levinson's (Euphoria) controversial, confrontational and very, very timely film Assassination Nation (2018)! Joining us for the discussion is writer Dani Bethea!
Join us as we discuss the film's approach to violence (where is the line between empowerment and re-traumatization?), its unusual (but intentional) lack of slurs, its commentary on empathy and that awesome single-take home invasion sequence that serves as the centerpiece of the film.
Plus, Chekhov's Daddy, fisting Oscar the Grouch, Joe's lesson on the film's opening sequence, Trace's comparisons to Detention and why "if you weren't The Nun, you weren't gettin' none!"
