FEMALE MONSTERS 16 • Jennifer's Body (2009) + All Cheerleaders Die (2013)

A blessed in depth exploration of two classics of the murder cheerleader canon: Karyn Kusama-Diablo Cody's Jennifer's Body and Lucky McKee's All Cheerleader's Die.
We are blessed with culture critic, podcaster and producer Jordan Crucchiola's in-depth takes on the Karyn Kusama-directed, Diablo Cody-penned, Megan Fox-starring Jennifer's Body (2009), where a teen girl becomes possessed and turns into a succubus after she is sacrificed to Satan.

From 1:04:25, we discuss All Cheerleader's Die (2013), a film that has witchcraft, zombies, cheerleaders, magic crystals, and high school politics. A rebel girl signs up a group of cheerleaders to help her take down the captain of their high school football team.

Digressions include: simpler times on social media, Big Cate Blanchett Energy, having fun with trash.
