FFR 262: Chasing Chasing Amy featuring Sav Rodgers 47:45

47:45

A.C. and Kat are joined by director Sav Rodgers to discuss his documentary feature debut, Chasing Chasing Amy , and the complicated legacy of its subject matter, Kevin Smith's 1997 film Chasing Amy . Sav shares about the arduous process of becoming the central story in his own doc, and examining his relationship to the movie that saved his life as a young queer person. We explore how we take our various fandoms seriously, and what it means to blend loving a piece of media with making that love the focus of our work and/or our identities.

47:12

A.C. and Kat are back from their first semester at Shiz University for winter break, and we just had to talk about Jon M. Chu's blockbuster Broadway adaptation of Wicked: Part One . Starring Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande in the story before the story we all know from The Wizard of Oz , this is a tale that was originally published as a novel by Gregory Maguire in 1995. On its face it's a movie about accepting yourself when you don't fit in, but it's much more so about the way marginalized communities are threatened by authoritarian governments and the complicit neighbors who don't want to "rock the boat." We were impressed by its portrayal of class consciousness and the added nuance brought by casting a Black actress in the role of Elphaba. Finally, we hold a mini state of the union on Hollywood movie musicals.

Kat's fighting a vicious cold, and only had enough raspy voice left to record a bonus mini episode with AC this week. We caught up on all of the random movies and TV Kat watched while traveling or coughing on the couch, from Hit Man and Trap to Love Again and Hot Frosty . AC shared what movies he rewatches annually on Thanksgiving, and yes— The Silence of the Lambs is first on his list. Plus, we talk about AC's new publication with Currant Jam: Gelée , a digital zine on pop culture from emerging journalists, writers, and tastemakers.

50:50

Luke Perry biographer Margaret Wappler joined us for a conversation about her hybrid memoir profiling the '90s heartthrob, and the impact Perry had on viewers from 90210 to Riverdale . We dug into Fran Rubel Kuzui's 1992 film Buffy the Vampire Slayer , starring Perry alongside Kristy Swanson and Donald Sutherland. We particularly loved the comedic swings of supporting cast members Paul Reubens and David Arquette. Overall, we think the movie's feminist message and uneven tone are almost anachronistic, but can't deny its lasting impact. Discussed in this episode: Margaret's latest book, A Good Bad Boy: Luke Perry and How a Generation Grew Up Find Margaret: instagram.com/margaretwappler margaretwappler.com Find Kat: twitter.com/kat_ex_machina letterboxd.com/katexmachina Find AC: instagram.com/aclamberty letterboxd.com/aclamberty Find Us: Join Our Patreon Our Website Subscribe to FFR on Apple Podcasts Twitter Instagram NEW: Letterboxd…

Writer and musician Tara Giancaspro joins Kat and A.C. for a rootin' tootin' rip-roarin' review of Colin Higgins' 1982 movie musical The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas . We get lost in the fun and charm of the music, dancing, and wigs! We delight in the beauty of Dolly Parton and Burt Reynolds! And we get caught up in a discussion of whether a movie like this could be made today, with its light-hearted treatment of sex workers being unfairly persecuted. Plus, an unhinged installment of the "what's wrong with me" game returns, as we decide which famous men we'd let watch our drinks.

Anita Sarkeesian returns to the podcast this week to discuss Coralie Fargeat's buzzy body horror film The Substance , starring Demi Moore and Margaret Qualley. Anita gives the movie 5 out of 5 stars, but she, Kat, and A.C. all find something uniquely different to love about it. After an electrifying in-theater experience, we couldn't stop thinking about its storytelling on the panopticon of the patriarchal gaze. Not to mention its gonzo gross-out creature work!

He recently published the film history compendium Hollywood Pride: A Celebration of LGBTQ+ Representation and Perseverance in Film , so what better film for us to watch together than William Wyler's 1961 opus of lesbian shame, The Children's Hour , starring Audrey Hepburn and Shirley MacLaine.

We were so excited to welcome author and journalist Emma Specter to the show, that we asked them if we could talk about their favorite movie. Join us as we traverse journalism onscreen in James L. Brooks' 1987 film Broadcast News , starring Holly Hunter, William Hurt, and Albert Brooks. We also ask Emma about the process of writing her reported memoir, More, Please , and what she might say about elements of the movie "as a private citizen," versus in her official capacity as culture writer for Vogue .

Kat and A.C. are starving for a blockbuster to make them feel something, as if the movies are actually, finally back. So, they saw Lee Isaac Chung’s Twisters , and unfortunately—they’re still hungry. Listen in as they hypothesize about what Glenn Powell’s character was doing in the years before the events of this film took place (while Anthony Ramos’ was “working for the military” and Daisy Edgar-Jones’ was Being A City Girl). Could the tornado wrangler have been doing crunches? Optimizing his SEO? We just want cinema to try something new, please!

Kat and A.C. ~*witnessed*~ the fifth installment in George Miller’s apocalypse epic, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga and… we found it completely unnecessary. We know that movies about women are not by default inherently feminist (Anita tweeted about this specifically related to Fury Road back in 2015), but it’s always a bummer when we’re more invested in the male characters in a movie centered around a female protagonist. Then, we played another round of our “What’s Wrong With You?” guessing game, this time with a Pride Month theme (of sorts).

Who’s in the mood for a little June Gloom? We finally watched John Frankenheimer’s 1966 film Seconds , starring Rock Hudson, in a feature segment we’re calling “Retro Featurism.” Kat and A.C. wonder what its Frankenstein -esque plotline in which viewers could find gay or trans messaging, says about the current moment where stories like Poor Things and Severance (and Maggie Gyllenhaal’s upcoming The Bride ) are resonating with audiences. Plus, the return of our celebrity guessing game “What’s Wrong With Me?”!!!

In this week’s episode, Kat holds court on the movie that seemed uniquely designed just for her (which she ultimately found fairly disappointing): The Fall Guy . Directed by longtime stunt performer David Leitch and starring Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt, A.C. and Kat predominantly found the movie… “cute.” Which is fine! But Kat was really hoping for a lot more about the love of stunts, all things considered. Then, A.C. debuts a new, extremely unhinged game entitled “Nightmare Blunt Rotation,” and Kat has a lot to answer for.

Join Kat and A.C. for a discussion of one of their most hotly anticipated movies of 2024, Luca Guadagnino’s Challengers starring Zendaya, Josh O’Connor, and Mike Faist. The FFR hosts were mixed on their reactions, but both saw opportunities where it could have ascended to greater heights than it ultimately did—in particular with the underwritten female character in the middle of the film’s central love triangle. While we love the craft accomplishments of this movie, we can’t help but wonder what Paul Verhoeven might have done with this story. Plus, we check in on this spring’s film festivals, from the recently debuted Los Angeles Festival of Movies presented by Mubi to the 77th annual festival in Cannes, which just kicked off.

It’s Spooky Season, and we’re gearing up with a look at the 1968 film, Rosemary’s Baby , directed by Roman Polanski and starring Mia Farrow. Writer and mental health counselor Pallavi Yetur returns as a special guest to discuss this controversial horror genre classic. Content warning for listeners: this movie deals with issues related to sexual violence and trauma related to pregnancy and childbirth; additionally, this conversation will not shy away from frank discussions regarding the sex crimes of the filmmaker.

Long-time listeners of this podcast will know that 1987’s Dirty Dancing is Anita Sarkeesian’s favorite film, so for this season opening episode of Feminist Frequency Radio, she is, of course, joining host Kat Spada for a look at the Swayze-ist of Patrick Swayze films. But this conversation has a twist, as they’ll also be considering Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights , the (ill-advised) 2004 sequel. Are we still having the time of our lives?
