We talk about the 2009 film ‘Jennifer’s Body,’ why it wasn’t appreciated when it came out, and what it has to say about the expectations we project onto young women’s bodies. We discuss Megan Fox’s theory about why the movie bombed and the treatment of actresses pre-MeToo, and we dive into how the movie plays with horror tropes.
