    Bound

    Nut Everywhere November continues with MORE GINA GERSHON in the 1996 Wachowski Sisters debut film, the steamy crime thriller Bound. This movie is simply too gay to have any straight people around so Dara had to leave. Just kidding, she was sick this week. Extra special guest Lauren (Emily's partner who previously joined us to cover the movie Theater Camp) fills in to discuss! Everyone thank Lauren for the hot goss.  Send us a text SWAMP stuff: TikTok: @theswamppodcast Instagram: @theswamppod Bluesky: @theswamppodcast.bsky.social YouTube Dara's Letterboxd Emily's Letterboxd Our website: https://www.the-swamp-podcast.com/ Email: theswamppod@gmail.com
