    Little Death, Big Feelings: Unpacking Camp Miasma

    Rena and Ella dig into Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma, Jane Schoenbrunn's genre-defying queer horror-romance that left Rena in tears in the theater. They unpack the film's take on gender euphoria, reclaiming the "queer villain" trope, and why they think it's one of the most important LGBTQ+ films in years. Plus: a Golden Crown Literary Society win recap and a very specific hint about the franchise they'd queer up themselves.

    The Wrong Girls, Leviticus, and Why Movie Ratings are Patriarchal

    This week: addressing the incels in the comments, unpacking The Wrong Girls (and the similar script Ella once wrote), and raving about Leviticus—a tight, terrifying, surprisingly hopeful queer horror film about conversion therapy.The Wrong Girls is in theaters and Leviticus is streaming now!https://www.smokeshow-entertainment.com/

    Maddie's Secret: The Patriarchy Made Us Rate This Movie

    Rena and Ella kick off SmokeBreak discussing Maddie's Secret, John Early's satirical send-up of 80s disease-of-the-week movies and modern foodie-influencer culture. They dig into how patriarchy shapes eating disorders, the ingénue trope, and why rating movies out of ten is inherently patriarchal (no, seriously). Plus: Jennifer's Body 2 news, RHONY's lavender marriage reveal, and an unhinged tangent about eating a Cessna. Maddie's Secret is streaming on VOD now! https://www.smokeshow-entertainment.com/
