About this episode
Annie Rose Malamet and guest Ian Deleón analyze the body horror film 'Society' and discuss its themes in relation to contemporary cultural issues.
Society waits for you! Artist and filmmaker Ian Deleón joins me to talk about Brian Yuzna's body horror classic. We deep dive and do a scene by scene analysis of the film and discuss larger themes, like how sexual perversion has become coded as a decadent failure of the rich. We also link the film back to our current cultural moment and the recent release of the Epstein files and the ensuing moral panic. For more juicy content sign up at patreon.com/girlsgutsgiallo
