Death Becomes Her (1992)

About this episode

In this episode, Janecka Olen and guest Plastic Martyr discuss the film 'Death Becomes Her' and explore themes of beauty standards and friendship through a horror lens.

This is my 63rd episode and my theme for April is Beauty is a Beast, Exploring beauty standards through the lens of horror. I have special guest Plastic Martyr to talk about this campy classic and revolutionary film. She quotes the movie like the professional actress she is. We dive into the themes of friendship, beauty standards, conspiracy theories, and codependent relationships. You don't want to miss Plastic Martyr talking about her favorite film.
