It's the first installment of The Fear of God: Ghoul Scouts Edition! This week, Reed and Nathan are lost in the shadows as Vera Goudie and Jess Fischli take over the show with a discussion of the infamous thriller from Karyn Kusama and writer Diablo Cody: JENNIFER'S BODY.Starring Megan Fox and Amanda Seyfried, Jennifer's Body tells a subversive and darkly comic tale of codependency, possession, and good, old-fashioned revenge. The film, originally pitched to audiences as a kind of feminine slasher, is a far more interesting and layered piece than its first audiences recognized.Also featuring a Patron-only "Whatcha" segment, this is a lively and thoughtful discussion that we really hope you enjoy!Patron Only Segment: Whatcha Watchin' / Readin' / Listenin' To?3:23 - JENNIFER'S BODYSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

En efemérides repasamos la breve, pero interesante filmografía de Karyn Kusama. Volvió Mery Linares con "Los revoltosos de antes" y nos trajo un melodrama musical clásico: "Nace una estrella" de George Cukor con Judith Garland y James Mason. Para cerrar hicimos una ronda de documentales.

On this episode, continuing my Women in Horror series to talk about the Karyn Kusama directed film Jennifer's Body (2009). Hell is a teenaged girl and adding a succubus to the mix is even more hellish. BFFs, satanic virginal (but not really virginal) sacrifice and the horrors of being a teenage girl in this one. Spoiler free and succubus filled. The artist on my podcast playlist is Screeching Weasel .

"Sono una regista determinata con ben chiaro in mente cosa voglio fare e voglio essere lasciata in pace a fare ciò che voglio" Torniamo a parlare di filmografie brevi ma intense come quella della regista Karyn Kusama, artista non costante ma poliedrica e capace di elevare la bellezza della settima arte ma senza rinunciare all'intento di raccontare (per davvero) il femminismo ai nostri giorni. Quello di Karyn Kusama è tutto sommato un cinema per davvero femminile poiché popolato prevalentemente da donne alle prese con le difficoltà della vita ma anche con il lato peggiore della loro anima. Esattamente come la protagonista di "Destroyer".

"Sono una regista determinata con ben chiaro in mente cosa voglio fare e voglio essere lasciata in pace a fare ciò che voglio" Torniamo a parlare di filmografie brevi ma intense come quella della regista Karyn Kusama, artista non costante ma poliedrica e capace di elevare la bellezza della settima arte ma senza rinunciare all'intento di raccontare (per davvero) il femminismo ai nostri giorni. Kusama deve averci preso gusto con l'horror poiché "The Invitation" è un thriller che racconta per davvero l'orrore. Non quello fatto di demoni o creature irreali ma piuttosto quello insito nell'animo umano.

"Sono una regista determinata con ben chiaro in mente cosa voglio fare e voglio essere lasciata in pace a fare ciò che voglio" Torniamo a parlare di filmografie brevi ma intense come quella della regista Karyn Kusama, artista non costante ma poliedrica e capace di elevare la bellezza della settima arte ma senza rinunciare all'intento di raccontare (per davvero) il femminismo ai nostri giorni. Forte del successo di "Juno" e del Premio Oscar appena vinto, Diablo Cody propone al pubblico un racconto di formazione in salsa horror e sceglie Karyn Kusama come regista. Il risultato è l'allora bistrattato e l'ora più celebrato "Jennifer's Body".

"Sono una regista determinata con ben chiaro in mente cosa voglio fare e voglio essere lasciata in pace a fare ciò che voglio" Torniamo a parlare di filmografie brevi ma intense come quella della regista Karyn Kusama, artista non costante ma poliedrica e capace di elevare la bellezza della settima arte ma senza rinunciare all'intento di raccontare (per davvero) il femminismo ai nostri giorni. Il film che ha quasi distrutto la carriera della povera Kusama ma che ha avuto il merito di aiutarla a comprendere meglio i meccanismi dietro l'industria di Hollywood, nel Bene e nel Male. E quindi "Æon Flux"!

A lo largo de la vida recibimos muchas invitaciones, algunas con alegría, como la boda de un buen amigo, una cena, un concierto, o un café. Otras, sin embargo, uno se pregunta si no hay forma de librarse de ellas. La invitación de Jesús en el séptimo capítulo de la Buena Noticia según Juan (vv. 37-39), no se parece a ninguna otra. La sintonía de Ruta 66, esta vez está a cargo de un pianista, organista y cantante popular en la América de los años 50 y 60, el músico afroamericano Earl Grant. En esa última década comenzó a actuar también Dionne Warwick con un grupo de gospel, The Gospelaires, convertido luego en estudio en The Sweet Inspirations. Su escepticismo ante las falsas promesas (Promises, Promises) con las palabras y la música de Burt Bacharach y Hal David, se convirtió en todo un himno, el mítico año 68. Es la constatación de las "Palabras vacías" (Empty Words) que hace el guitarrista y fundador de Deep Purple, Ritchie Blackmore, junto a su compañera Candice Night en 2008 con el amable sonido renacentista de folk que tanto frecuentaban los grupos que iniciaron el "rock duro" en los años 70. "¿Qué es lo que realmente sabes? (O Que Voce Quer Saber De Verdade) se pregunta la carioca Marisa Monte en 2011, tras su éxito con los Tribalistas. La película "La invitación" (2015) no se debe confundir con el reciente horror del mismo título del año 22. La interesante directora Karyn Kusama, hija de un psiquiatra japonés, cuenta el inquietante reencuentro de un matrimonio divorciado tras la muerte de su hijo. El "hipster" angelino, interpretado por Logan Marshall-Green, es convocado por su ex, junto a un grupo de amigos, para darles testimonio de su conversión en lo que parece un ambiente sectario. Este prodigioso thriller psicológico te muestra la terrible diferencia entre la conversión psicológica y la experiencia liberadora de la que habla Jesús en este texto. José de Segovia comenta algunas escenas con la banda sonora de Theodore Sapiro para esta y otras películas. La canción de Larry Norman, "¡Olvida tu hexagrama!" (Forget Your Hexagram 1969) rechaza el esoterismo de la época en que publicó este disco para Capitol, cuyo eco llega hasta el día de hoy. Hay mucho de "postureo" también en el cristianismo, como muestra la crítica a la alegría superficial de la "música de alabanza contemporánea" en la "Mascarada a la luz de la vidriera de la iglesia" (Stained Glass Masquerade 2005) que revela un grupo de Florida, Casting Crowns, cuyas canciones recuerdan también ese mismo tipo de música que no suele frecuentar nuestro programa. Si Jesús hablaba en este pasaje de la experiencia del Espíritu que viene de Él, la canción de los escoceses Waterboys (Spirit) es bastante más ambigua. Escuchamos la versión en vivo que hizo Mike Scott con su grupo en Dublín en 1986, antes de entrar en la comunidad cristiana esotérica de Findhorn. Audrey Assad es otra buscadora espiritual incansable. Nace en la familia de un refugiado sirio, que llega a una Asamblea de Hermanos. Graba sus primeros discos en el ámbito de la llamada "música cristiana contemporánea", tras su conversión al catolicismo en 2007. Habla en los conciertos de su adicción a la pornografía y la masturbación, cuando tras su divorcio del líder de música de alabanza, Matt Maher, dice en 2021 que ya no es cristiana. Oímos en vivo la maravillosa composición que hizo sobre las Bienaventuranzas (Blessed Are The Ones) en 2012, que hace eco de la invitación de Jesús en este séptimo capítulo del Evangelio según Juan.

Cominciamo dal principio con l'esordio di Kusama "Girlfight", racconto di formazione con protagonista un'esordiente Michelle Rodriguez.

Join hosts Michael and Mindy for a Halloween special episode as they dive into a double feature of horror comedies penned by Diablo Cody. This episode explores the intriguing blend of humor and horror in "Lisa Frankenstein" and "Jennifer's Body". First up is "Lisa Frankenstein", a film that combines romance and the undead, directed by Zelda Williams in her debut. With standout performances from Catherine Newton and Cole Sprouse, the movie is praised for its humor, heart, and 80s aesthetic. The hosts discuss its potential as a future cult classic and how it defies typical horror comedy conventions. Next, the duo revisits "Jennifer's Body", a film that gained cult status over the years. Despite its initial mixed reception, Michael and Mindy delve into its themes, performances, and why it didn't achieve the expected breakout success. They also highlight Adam Brody's unexpected role and the film's visual appeal under the direction of Karyn Kusama. As they wrap up the episode, Michael and Mindy reflect on the challenges and successes of balancing horror with comedy, and why some films find their audience long after their initial release. Tune in for a lively discussion filled with insights and Halloween spirit!

Here at The Substance we love engaging with thoughtful art and artists as they are able to get at truth in a way other mediums just are not capable, and among the various forms of art, movies are probably our favorite. That is why we are so delighted to share this exciting first with you all: on this episode we have the pleasure of being joined by a well established actor who recently made his directorial debut, John Carroll Lynch! John's career as an actor spans over three decades and he has worked with some incredible directors in that time. Folks like Martin Scorsese (right off the bat we get a GREAT Shutter Island story), David Fincher, Joel and Ethan Coen, Clint Eastwood, John Woo, Pablo Larraín, Albert Brooks, Karyn Kusama, Tony Scott, and even Tom Hanks on HBO's From the Earth to the Moon. And a few years ago, he took all those experiences and channeled them into a stunning directorial debut, 2017's Lucky. Lucky tells the story of a 90-year-old atheist living in small desert town who goes on a bit of a spiritual journey when he is forced to confront his mortality after he experiences a fall. The titular character Lucky is played beautifully by veteran character actor Harry Dean Stanton. It's a role that is infused with so many essential and biographical elements from Harry's own life but it very much stands on its own if you are unfamiliar with his life and career. The town is filled with wonderful actors, many of whom are longtime friends of HDS. People like David Lynch, Ron Livingston, Ed Begley Jr., Tom Skerritt (Harry's co-star in the sci-fi masterpiece and previous SC episode Alien), Barry Shabaka Henley, James Darren, Beth Grant, and more!

We all knew that love hurts... but this is ridiculous!This week, Cody and Matt celebrate Valentine's Day and take a bite out of this cult classic. They discuss awkward teen love, high school in the 00's, and how effective a funny wig on JK Simmons can really be. After sorting out who are the "cool guys" and the "hoes", the boys dive into the importance of a specific tone, confusing marketing, and the powerhouse that is a Fox/Seyfried team-up.The year is flying by faster than an Amy Sedaris cameo, so don't forget to send out those Valentine's cards! Thanks for listening!Socials/Merch/Contact:https://linktr.ee/nighthowlspod

“Hell is a teenage girl."15 years ago, Diablo Cody and Karyn Kusama joined forces to create one of the best teen girl films of all time, JENNIFER'S BODY. Critics didn't understand it, it was marketed for an audience that was never going to love it, but the die-hard fans who knew the truth kept it alive. Now, reclaimed 15 years later, we're revisiting the film and talking about the journey it went on from cult-hit to bonafide teen classic, and embracing the return of Diablo Cody to teen girl horror comedy with LISA FRANKENSTEIN. -----Become a Patron! https://www.patreon.com/thisendsatprom ------Article ReferencedVulture: Megan Fox and Karyn Kusama Revisit the Jennifer's Body Backlash (https://www.vulture.com/2019/10/megan-fox-karyn-kusama-talk-jennifers-body-at-beyond-fest.html)------Find the Show on Twitter & Instagram: @ThisEndsAtPromBJ Colangelo —Twitter & Instagram: @BJColangeloHarmony Colangelo — Twitter & Instagram: @Veloci_trap_tor----------Logo Design: Haley Doodles @HaleyDoodleDoTheme Song: The Sonder Bombs 'Title': https://thesonderbombs.bandcamp.com/

Aeon Flux is often forgotten when discussing Charlize Theron's action roles. Before Mad Max: Fury Road turned her into a legitimate genre icon, a status re-affirmed by Atomic Blonde and The Old Guard, her first attempt at headlining an action flick, 2005's Aeon Flux, had been largely forgotten. At the time, Theron was mostly known for prestige drama. She had won an Oscar in 2004 for his role as Aileen Wuornos in Patty Jenkins' Monster. She chose to follow this up by trying her luck at leading an action franchise, as female-driven action films were having a moment thanks to the success of the Underworld franchise. Directed by Karyn Kusama and based on the cult MTV Animated series, Aeon Flux seemed to have everything going for it. Still, the film was a notorious bomb that temporarily derailed Kusama's career, while Theron would avoid action movies until being lured back by George Miller. So what happened? We explain how studio battles, dulling cuts of the film and a fetishized heroine derailed what could have been a big franchise for all involved in this episode of WTF Happened to this Movie, written by Gaius Bolling, edited by Paul Podeyn, and narrated by Mathew Plale. 

Boston-bestie Mandy Connor returns to talk about two movies and a novel. She and Scotty begin with their disappointment in the 2023 Heather Graham vehicle "Suitable Flesh," a supposed "spiritual successor" to the classically bonkers 1980s Stuart Gordon films "Re-Animator" (1985) and "From Beyond" (1986). Things improve significantly with their discussion of Karyn Kusama's paranoid masterpiece "The Invitation" (2015) and the superlative 2023 folk-horror novel "Old Country" by Matt and Harrison Query. Mandy also has a few positive words at the end about Joe Hill's new novelette "The Pram." WARNING: Moderate spoilers for "Suitable Flesh," "The Invitation," and "Old Country." We tried to stay away from big reveals, but if you want to go into any of these blind, you might want to hold off on this episode for a bit.

Among other things, we talk 2000's emo, which part of your skin heals the fastest, and take issue with loosey-goosey satanic rituals as we discuss our 2nd Karyn Kusama film, 2009's Jennifer's Body.

Nat, Cody, and Robert are joined by Angela Fabbrini to look back at High School and the horror of being a teenaged girl with CARRIE (1976), GINGER SNAPS, and JENNIFER'S BODY. We sure hope your prom was better. Time tracks: CARRIE (1976) Discussion: 0:00 to 37:37 GINGER SNAPS Discussion 37:37 to 1:05:51 JENNIFER'S BODY Discussion 1:05:51 to 1:39:32 Other High School Horrors and Halloween Plans 1:39:32 to End

Diablo Cody teamed up with Karyn Kusama and they came up with a Twilight that was catered to emo/goth teens and alike, and lets face it, those who graduated from high school. It's called "Jennifer's Body" and it's about hot chick who becomes possessed after hanging with a band she was obsessed to see. She starts killing dudes from her high school and her best friend is trying to figure out what to do and she can't trust no one becomes no one takes her seriously which is pretty weird. I had problems with this film, such as character development especially with Needy's characters. Like, man, smarten up! These characters overall are dumb! I felt the film would have been better if that subplot of sexual tensions between the two major characters. I really like the cinematography of the film, they set up pretty good killing scenes, the visuals are not merciless. That's about it. I wished these characters weren't so much like "Juno" characters, but hey, it's Diablo Cody. She has great work overall.Two and a half out of four tokes.

It's a match made in hell as Horrorville editor Brett Petersel joins Gemma and Slim in a basement studio surrounded by zombies to talk through four of his favorite horror films: Clive Barker's Nightbreed, Karyn Kusama's The Invitation, Bruce McDonald's Pontypool and Waxwork from Anthony Hickox. We're talking uncomfortable dinner parties, single-location horror, Gemma's terror of wax museums, Slim's fear of terrible podcasting etiquette and how Brett's love of Nightbreed could rescue people from cults.

Another season of Yellowjackets, another Emmy nomination-worthy performance from Christina Ricci as one of the show's most complex characters, Misty Quigley.Ricci returns to Collider Ladies Night to recap her experience working on the second season of the hit Showtime series.

Karyn Kusama is known for film classics like Girlfight, Jennifer's Body, The Invitation, and a NEW TV classic, Yellowjackets, which she executive produces. Karyn's work is celebrated for its thoughtfully subversive approach with feminist themes across multiple genres, and today she discusses HOW she uses her body as a barometer to seek truth in her work.

Tone is probably the strongest element that defines a project and yet, surprisingly, is a topic that is frequently the least discussed on a feature film, pilot, or first season of a television show. DGA members interested in learning more about techniques for determining and subsequently communicating this ever elusive but critical aspect gathered in the Guild's Los Angeles theater for Special Projects Committee event, Creating & Talking Tone with Your Team. In a conversation moderated by Director Valerie Weiss, Directors Jonathan Dayton & Valerie Faris, Karyn Kusama and David O. Russell spoke about what has worked and not worked on their productions. In the conversation, the panelists discuss how the topic of tone is implemented throughout their projects and shared their advice on how to achieve tone through music, casting, opening shots and much more. Please note: spoilers are included. See photos and a summary of this event below: https://dga.org/Events/2023/April2023/SP-CreatingNTalkingToneWithYourTeam-0323.aspx

Michelle Rodriguez aims to work with rebels in this industry, and she's also a true rebel herself. Over the years, Rodriguez has solidified herself as an undeniable force in Hollywood both on screen and behind the scenes via her determination to fight for herself and for the characters she plays. That right there is the definition of an ideal Collider Ladies Night guest. A personal bucket list guest, in fact.Rodriguez carved out the time for an appearance on the show in celebration of her newest release, Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves. Rodriguez plays Holga Kilgore in the movie, a barbarian who's been exiled by her tribe and now lives and steals alongside Chris Pine's Edgin Darvis. In an effort to pull off an epic heist and snag a lost relic, Holga and Edgin form a party of unlikely heroes and embark on a journey filled with creatures, spells, delightful cameos, and an especially chilling Red Wizard (Daisy Head).Hear all about Rodriguez's journey from Karyn Kusama's Girlfight to Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves on this edition of Collider Ladies Night!
