It’s like Sputnik! Spherical, but quite pointy at parts!
On this week’s episode of Deep Thoughts About Stupid Sh*t, Tracie unpacks the good, the bad, the poorly aged, and the likely-to-make-a-vegan-queasy about the underrated 1993 comedy So I Married an Axe Murderer. The sisters discuss how important changes in gender politics and expression over the last 30 years have made May’s handsiness and the character of Vicky cringey and they dive into the toxicity of 1990s expectation that men fear commitment.
On the plus side, Alan Arkin’s role as Tony’s police captain shows us consent done right!
Head! Earbuds! Now! You’ll be glad you listened.
