In an episode that we hope will age well, Elijah challenges Vanessa to find a pairing for the rough and tumble Muay Thai actioner Chocolate (2008). After talking a bit about problematic handlings of characters on the autism spectrum in media (yes, we’re once again looking at you, Cube), Vanessa counters with another movie about a deadly young girl, Orphan. Can Vanessa convince Elijah that this pairing works? Would Elijah accept his adopted child if they turned out to be a murderer?
And what is Vanessa’s equivalent of Popeye’s spinach? Find out in this week’s double-feature discussion! The official snack pairing for Chocolate and Orphan is chocolate (duh) and red wine.
This episode was brought to you by Vanessa’s ability to “turn it on.”
