The Second Part in our Sex Pact Trilogy
Happy Fourth of July with one of your hosts stranger holiday traditions (we'll get to EYES WIDE SHUT every Christmas very soon) with the auteur Will Gluck's FRIENDS WITH BENEFITS. And while spending America's birthday with Jenna Elfman and Richard Jenkins doesn't sound particularly sexy (though delightful!) that's where the sex positivity of Mila Kunis and Justin Timberlake come on. We debate whether this film subverts the romcom tropes it winks at enough or if it should apologize for those tropes at all! They shouldn't and we don't! Happy Independence Day and don't scare your dogs with fireworks. Just have sex!
Catchup on last year's Movie Book Club from Quentin Tarantino's CINEMA SPECULATION!
