Extra Salty: Jennifer's Body

Megan Fox, a diabolic indie rock band, toxic friendship, queer love, feminist reckoning, and a literal man-eater in the body of a high school cheerleader: the 2009 comedy-horror B-movie Jennifer’s Body has it all. Unfortunately, it flopped at the box office and is now mostly lost to obscurity. Frederick Blichert lovingly resurrects it, interviewing director Karyn Kusama, lauding the amazing team behind it (Diablo Cody wrote the screenplay and Megan Fox and Amanda Seyfried starred), and taking a deep dive into the complexities of the gender politics. Extra Salty makes the case that this movie should join the pantheon of feminist pop culture classics
