About Filmsuck
Support us on Patreon.com/filmsuck for bonus episodes and more perks! A weekly podcast hosted by Eileen Jones, film critic at Jacobin magazine and recovering academic, and Dolores McElroy, diva enthusiast and lecturer in film and media at UC Berkeley. In this podcast for the people, we bring you the truth about the rotten state of cinema, its often odious or ham-fisted relationship to politics, and its occasional wondrous bursts of courage and brilliance. We consider the glories of cinemas past, and wonder about lots of things: what’s the role of contemporary film in a time of bad art and worse taste; popular entertainment in a time of fragmentation, generalized disaffection, and PTSD; and media in a time when it seems to have lost its power to get us off our asses? In short, what is to be done when film sucks?

[…] Okay, what I like about the film is that it wants to valorize flesh and fluids. And it does this actually best through eating. I think that is the... Oh, that's true. Yeah, that the film understands the best. So like, you know, Julian Anderson lives in this place, this camp, and it's in the boondocks. So she's hosting Hannah Einbinder Chris for dinner, and all she can get is like fried chicken. And there's this great scene where it's like, do you like dipping sauce? Dipping sauce? And they really bond over dipping sauce, yeah. And those erotic close-ups of the dipping sauce. Yes, yes. Yeah. It's the candy and the chicken nuggets that get the real erotic treatment. […]
