  • Summary

  • Corbin, Matt, and SPECIAL GUEST MATEA (Check out her ROBUST Letterboxd here) talk about CRUEL INTENTIONS, a truly wild erotic thriller/black comedy from the precise moment when the Americans were most sick and tired of their own bullshit. Topics include a lengthy diatribe about Clinton and Bush, the gauzy-TV look of the movie, and the movie's depiction of Step-sisters as well as the culture's.

    Check out a cool intertextual essay about the movie here.

    Matt reccomends the podcast "Fall of Civilizations." Corbin reccomends Pauline Kael aggregregator accounts. Matea reccomends a book by the 40 Laws of Power guy, but she swears you shouldn't take advice from it.

    When I said Hunter Thompson is hard to read, I didn't mean as literature, just that it's kind of tedious.

    Next week's episode is about "LOS ANGELES PLAYS ITSELF" which you can watch here.
