Podcast appearances and mentions of Desiree Akhavan

The gang are back for the new season and we've not been replaced by AI! We're kicking off by talking about The Miseducation Of Cameron Post (2018), a film which revisits the same topic as one of the very first films we did on the podcast. But where But I'm A Cheerleader tackled conversion camps in a camp, pastel coloured dreamscape, TMOCP is more of a realistic nightmare.Join us as we discuss the insidious niceness of the adults running the conversion camp, the differences between the book and the film, and on the importance of friendship in LGBTQ+ communities, both on screen and in real life. And if you have listened and you want to hear the short story Alice wrote for Maxine Peake, friend of TMOCP's director Desiree Akhavan, you can find that here: https://factoryinternational.org/factoryplus/new-writers/mycelium/ CN: Mention of self harm, discussion of physical and psychological abuse at conversion camps, swearing, spoilers and discussion of a sexual nature.

Log onto 'Encounters' and dust off your Peachfuzz mask because we're talking Creep 2 (2017). Along for the ride is The Queer Quadrant co-host Brooke Solomon, who finds plenty to appreciate in a sequel that is more complex than its predecessor. Plus: Praise for both Duplass and bisexual co-star Desiree Akhavan, debating male vs female nudity, dismissing claims that Sara is "dumb", Coppola wine, and speculation about Shudder's The Creep Tapes Questions?

Nihal has chosen Amma, the debut novel by Sri Lankan writer Saraid de Silva, which he compares to meeting someone on a train and having a long, intense conversation. Elif Shafak's choice, however, You're Embarrassing Yourself by Desiree Akhavan, he describes as more like a hilarious night in a pub. Harriett has gone for The Second Murderer by Denise Mina, a Philip Marlowe novel. But is there a need to add to Raymond Chandler's canon?Produced for BBC Audio Bristol by Sally Heaven Join the conversation on Instagram: agoodreadbbc

It's Big Stalker Energy week!! For our horror pick, we decided to do BOTH Creep and Creep 2 - they're best as one story anyway. Join us as Olivia cringes and Kelly gets a little too excited over Mark Duplass' performance as a wolf-obsessed creep. Grab your wolf mask, put on your custom-made locket, and let's get weird.

Synopsis Creep 2 continues the story of Aaron, played by Mark Duplass, a serial killer who posts want ads on craigslist seeking documentarians who inadvertently film their own murders. Sara, played by Desiree Akhavan, has a failing Youtube show and decides to take Aaron up on his offer. Throughout her documentary of Aaron, she empathizes with him and barely believes him while he swears he's a serial killer. On the other hand, Aaron seems like he has finally found his match. Will he kill her? Will she kill him? Is this the end of the craigslist serial killer as we know it? Review of Creep 2 Creep 2 is one of those sequels that actually gives a fresh look on the original. It does not repeat overdone tropes or follow the same story line whatsoever. This movie could stand alone and it still makes sense, and would still be very effective. There are funny one-liners, there are jump scares, there is a bad ass woman who won't take any shit. This is not your typical killer chases victim movie. Besides the original, this movie is a fresh take on found footage horror, which is my favorite genre. It is excellent, it pulls all punches, and it takes you on a very adventurous ride. This truly is an exceptional feat of horror movie making as we know it. Creep was good enough, inventive enough, but this sequel takes it to a whole nother level. My only few complaints are that there could have been more fleshing out of Sara, since she is the central character, and I think knowing what's gonna happen upon rewatching makes it a bit less effective. Other than that, it's pretty damn good. Score 8/10

This is week my guest is Desiree Akhavan!  Desiree's first feature film was 2014's APPROPRIATE BEHAVIOUR, in which she also starred. It came off the back of a web series she made in 2010 called The Slope, with fellow NYU postgrad film student Ingrid Jungermann. After Appropriate Behaviour, Desiree had a guest spot on the TV show Girls, and also began adapting the book THE MISEDUCATION OF CAMERON POST, alongside her co-writer and producer Cecilia Frugiuele. The film, which Desiree also directed, would star Chloe Grace Moretz and Sasha Lane and went on to win the Sundance Dramatic Grand Jury Prize in 2018.  Around the same time, Desiree also created, wrote and directed a brilliant 6-part TV show for Channel 4 called THE BISEXUAL, starring Maxine Peake, Brian Gleeson, Naomi Ackie and Desiree herself and all set in London.  Since 2018 Desiree has been working on a very personal project which we talk about, as well directing episodes of many brilliant TV shows, including RAMY, HACKS and TINY BEAUTIFUL THINGS.  We talk about a lot, and if you've ever read an interview with Desiree you know she's very good at cutting through the bullshit and this is no exception. We dig into how the past five years have seen her working at a different pace and why that is, we talk about the moments after success and the expectations that were placed on her career, we talk about what it actually means or requires to direct an episode of TV, finding a soulmate in her creative partner Cecilia and why learning and having fun is at the centre of everything she does…

Ellen and Mark take a turn into the exclusive gated community of housewives in cinema and television, ahead of the release of new film Don't Worry Darling. Ellen investigates why we're so drawn to housewives on screen, from original housewife satire The Stepford Wives to global reality TV phenomenon The Real Housewives, with the help of critic Anna Bogutskaya and Real Housewives exec producer Andy Cohen. And Mark celebrates director Todd Haynes' cult 1995 film Safe, starring Julianne Moore in her first lead role, as a housewife suffering from a mysterious ailment. He speaks to pioneering independent film producer and long-time Haynes collaborator Christine Vachon about the making of Safe, and hears from composer Gazelle Twin and director Desiree Akhavan about the personal and emotional responses both had to the film.

This week my guest is Sheena Patel, an assistant director for Film and TV. Her credits as a 1st AD include Casualty and Dominic Savage's upcoming series I Am Ruth. She has also 3rd Assistant Directed on feature films such as Boxing Day and Pirates, as well as series like I Hate Suzie and Apple Tree House, and she is represented by Sara Putt Associates. Sheena is also an author and a co-founding member of the poetry collective 4 Brown Girls Who Write and part of the reason I invited her on for this season is that she has just published her debut novel, I'm A Fan, of which many people are. It's getting rave reviews and Sheena was listed in The Observer's 10 Best Debut Novelists of 2022. I'm A Fan is published by Rough Trade Books and uses the voice of a single speaker to explore an unfaithful relationship and the power struggle within that, as well as how this connects with the wider world and our cultural obsession with status. Desiree Akhavan has called it hilarious, heartbreaking and sickening and you can get a copy via the Rough Trade website.  When I was preparing to talk to Sheena I figured that the conversation would be divided into two parts, but of course when someone's passions co-exist in the way they do with Sheena, some overlap is to be expected and we sort of oscillate between the two and find some surprising comparisons between being an assistant director and being a writer or performer.  We talk about perseverance and how Sheena came to the television industry relatively late, how she establishes a sense of authority, collaboration and harmony on the floor and bluffing your way through imposter syndrome, as well as how and when she wrote her novel, what the process of finishing it and releasing it has been like and why she just wrote wherever her brain went. It was a really fun and also chill chat. I think Sheena really embodies that sense of harmony and calm that maybe she presents when she's AD'ing and yeah I came away from it thinking what a lovely way to have spent an hour of my Saturday morning. I think we're lucky to have someone like Sheena in our film and TV industry and likewise, lucky to have her as a powerful and critical voice in and of our culture, so I feel very privileged to have had her on the podcast. This is episode 112 of Best Girl Grip.   

Cette semaine, l'équipe de Quoi de Meuf vous propose de réécouter cet épisode important de notre saison précédente, qui démêle la place qu'occupe l'intersectionnalité dans nos sociétés contemporaines.

Our unofficial Pride month continues with Danforth's lengthy, sprawling story of queers in Montana, which gets abbreviated in Akhavan's film, but we're ok with it? It's a good conversation about  growing up gay in a small town (vs big city), why Coley's betrayal stings in more ways than one and whether Chloë Grace Moretz deserves blame for being a bit of a bland protagonist (we prefer Forrest Goodluck's Adam and Sasha Lane's Jane Fonda). Plus: why Jennifer Ehle is the perfect "Disney villain" antagonist and a CW for indigenous listeners after the recent trauma that occurred in Kamloops.Resources:Indian Residential School Survivors SocietyWanna connect with the show?

This week we're discussing The Miseducation of Cameron Post (2018) directed by Desiree Akhavan. It is an adaption to the 2012 book written by Emily M. Danforth. As Becca says we discussing the miseducation of society while drawing similarities from Jamie Babbit's satire in But I'm a Cheerleader (1999) Comparing the book and the films visual elements and cutting the internal struggle of guilt, the importance of queer friendships and who do we blame for homophobia? The person themselves or society as a whole. The film brought up a lot for thought for us and new information we didn't know about, So, join us, as we scream from the top of our lungs WHATS GOING ON? Why icebergs conflict our gay experience and wonder why queer friendships in media are pushed to become relationships.

Bow chicka wow wow…. That’s right dearest listeners, this week we are headed between the sheets, or on top of them, no judgement here. We are looking at how LGBTQ+ sex scenes are portrayed in film and TV. Sometimes ridiculous, sometimes biologically impossible and sometimes accurate and honest too, we hear your opinions and “The Bisexual” creator Desiree Akhavan calls in to give us her take on the debate. Plus, why is Chris being pursued by poisonous sticks? Has a charity shop purchase led Chris to join a right wing organisation? And the artist formerly known as Mr Potato Head gets a gender makeover.

In a pandemic themed summer special we feature John Cusack, Gillian Flynn, Desiree Akhavan, and the Australian filmmaker behind a Spanish set lockdown series.

Can a toxic relationship at the center of a romantic comedy still make it romantic? Find out as LINNA and Nic discuss Desiree Akhavan’s debut, “Appropriate Behavior”. The film follows Akhavan as Shirin, a closeted bisexual as she finds her way to move on from a breakup. We discuss unlikeable characters, Lena Dunham comparisons, Bi and Iranian-American representation, and our theories on why comedy and queer women narratives shifted from the 2000s to 2010s. Thank you for tuning in, and stay tuned for more! Our final episode on this season of the new wave in queer woman cinema will be released on Christmas Eve this Thursday, 12/24.

S1 E3: Queer Women are the OGs of the Intimate Sex Scene, with Quinn Shephard This week, we talk through some of Beandrea’s favorite queer films from the last 20 years and give a shout-out the filmmakers behind them. We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: queer women have been leading the charge when it comes to nuanced depictions of female pleasure on screen for a long time. And they’ve been doing it on a budget! We look back at some early lesbian movies that take on coming out and look at more recent depictions that focus on teens who know who they are and accept themselves from page one. The Movies:   But I’m a Cheerleader (2000) We start our queer cinema journey with longtime episodic director Jamie Babbitt’s satirical teen sex comedy, But I’m a Cheerleader, about a gay conversion therapy camp called “True Directions.” It is a bonafide cult classic. A young Natasha Lyonne plays Megan, an enthusiastic cheerleader who is forced to reconcile with the fact that she’s a lesbian as she falls in love with Graham (Clea Duvall) under the scrutiny of a harsh headmaster (Cathy Moriarty) and “ex-gay” Mike (RuPaul Charles). We dig into the humor, the MPAA rating bias, the failure of white men to get the movie, and celebrate how well the groundbreaking indie holds up in the light of 2020. The Twentieth Anniversary Director’s Cut re-release comes out on December 8, 2020.   The Incredibly True Adventures of Two Girls in Love (1995, 2005) Next up is a micro-budget Sundance indie from writer-director Maria Maggenti. Despite their completely different backgrounds, Randy (Laurel Holloman aka Tina from the original L-Word) and straight girl Evie (Nicole Arie Parker) fall in love. We discuss how Maggenti expertly navigated onscreen intimacy in an era when queerness wasn’t yet mainstream. The film was re-released in 2005 on its 10-year anniversary. Pariah (2011) Then we take a closer look at the Sundance debut of Pariah from writer-director Dee Rees (Mudbound, Bessie, The Last Thing He Wanted). Sadly, it’s still one of only a handful of movies with a Black queer woman at the center, but thankfully it’s become a recent classic in queer storytelling. Our mama bear energy comes out in full force to protect the film’s heroine Alike (Adepero Oduye) when her sensitive poet soul is threatened by a would-be high school romance. We also love Alike’s best friendship with Laura (Pernell Walker) and celebrate platonic intimacy between queer women.    The Miseducation of Cameron Post (2018) Nearly twenty years after But I’m a Cheerleader, director and co-writer Desiree Akhavan also takes on teen gay conversion therapy. But this time it’s a poignant drama that forces us to confront a hard truth: more than half of states in this country still allow this damaging practice. We discuss the trance-like sex scene between Cameron (Chloë Grace Moretz) and Coley (Quinn Shephard, also this week’s interview!) and how f-ckin sexy it is for a woman to say what she wants and get it.      Booksmart (2019) This high school comedy starring Beanie Feldstein (Molly) and Kaitlyn Dever (Amy) is one of the funniest teen comedies we’ve ever seen. Directed by Olivia Wilde, we geek out over its stellar pro-masturbation stance and the ways it celebrates queer teens without making too big a deal out of it. Make sure you watch the movie so you can howl at how worn out that panda looks!       The Half of It (2020) Alice Wu has made two fantastic features, Saving Face (2004) and The Half of It (2020), and we have decided that we want many more movies from her. In her latest, we follow Ellie Chu (Leah Lewis) as her poetic writing skills get her caught between her would-be friend Paul and the girl they both have a crush on: Aster. We agree 100% about the necessity of taking a dip in hot springs and how sometimes sexual tension is just as impactful as a steamy bedroom scene.    Also check out: The 200 Best Lesbian Queer and Bisexual Movies of All Time (Autostraddle.com June 2020) The Watermelon Woman (Cheryl Dunye) Saving Face (Alice Wu) Rafiki (Wanuri Kahiu) Kajillionaire (Miranda July) The Interview  We are obsessed with actress, writer, and director Quinn Shephard! In our lively and thoughtful chat with her this week, we discuss: the oversexualisation of girls, how she approaches feminine, masculine, and nonbinary gazes in Blame, her 2017 debut feature as a writer-director, and her experience being directed by Desiree Akhivan in The Miseducation of Cameron Post. Shepherd also tells a personal story about the toxic culture of sexual abuse that actresses have to deal with in their work. Time really is up. Follow Quinn’s work @quinnshephardofficial.

Desiree Akhavan: The Miseducation of Cameron Post by Michelle Meow

After her first feature premiered at Sundance to strong reviews, director Desiree Akhavan thought finding money to make a second film would be a snap. But after striking out in LA, Akhavan's quest to make another project ultimately landed her in London. She tells us why she thinks the Brits are more open to her ideas, and talks about her newest film, ‘The Miseducation of Cameron Post.'

Akhavan's debut feature film, Appropriate Behavior, mines the details of her own life—particularly the most uncomfortable moments. It also earned her a spot on this season of Girls. Support Death, Sex & Money by becoming a monthly sustaining member. Sign up now.
