Snails & OystersJennifer's Body (with Olga Lexell)Nat and Alli close out 2021 with writer, writers' assistant, and labor activist Olga Lexell, who visits Snails & Oysters Studios to talk about 2009's camp horror classic Jennifer's Body. Widely misunderstood on release, recently a new critical consensus has arisen that director Karyn Kusama and writer Diablo Cody's collaboration was NOT "Twilight for boys," but a wry, incisive, and blisteringly intelligent satire of 2000s sexual politics, popular culture, and political learned helplessness.

Parallax Views w/ J.G. MichaelSleazy Mike Cernovich is Not a Friend of Epstein Victims w/ Marlon Ettinger
On this edition of Parallax Views, right-wing "journalist" and, by all accounts, all-around sleazeball Mike Cernovich has been taking credit for the recent unsealing of court documents related to the Jeffrey Epstein case, Ghislaine Maxwell, Harvard Law professor Alan Dershowitz, and Epstein survivor Virginia Giuffre. In a past life Cernovich grifted in the odious waters of GamerGate and the Pick-Up Artistry movement, (in)famously expressing his belief that "date rape doesn't exist" and hustling his self-help book The Gorilla Mindset. Since then, however, Cernovich has reinvented himself as a defender of children and women against human traffickers...
