106: Death Becomes Her with The Bechdel Cast
Plastic Surgery April continues with a call about the multiple sets of "Twinfluencers" that get matching plastic surgery - The Haze Twins, The Clermont Twins, and a debate about whether the Olsen Twins had a particular procedure done. Where is the most state of the art plastic surgery getting done right now? What's up with the private jet trips and plastic surgery makeovers rich people in Houston are doing during the pandemic? Then we are joined by Caitlin Durante and Jamie Loftus from our station sisters, film pod The Bechdel Cast! Jamie and Caitlin form a Voltron of feminist movie criticism with Tess, Molly and Emily to discuss Robert Zemeckis's Death Becomes Her (1992). Can a movie whose message is "women be vain" also be subversively feminist, even if it doesn't technically pass the Bechdel test? Whatever DID happen to Baby Jane? All this and a rousing back and forth about the imagined feeling of sitting on butt implants, at Night Call!
