Description:
<p><b>Megan Fox, a diabolic indie rock band, toxic friendship, fluid sexuality, feminist reckoning, and a literal man-eater in the body of a high school cheerleader: <i>Jennifer’s Body </i>has it all </b></p>
<p><b>Featuring an original interview with director Karyn Kusama</b></p>
<p>What would be an easy sell in 2021 — women at the helm (screenwriter Diablo Cody, director Karyn Kusama), a bankable cast (Megan Fox, Amanda Seyfried), and a deceptively complex skewering of gender politics — was a box office flop in 2009. In <i>Extra Salty</i>, Frederick Blichert flips the script on how <i>Jennifer’s Body</i> was labeled a failure to celebrate all that is scrumptious (as Jennifer would say) about it: supernatural horror, dark comedy, queer love, and a nuanced handling of gendered violence. The movie could have been to the aughts what <i>Heathers</i> was to the eighties, and it’s finally getting its due — whether in the flood of tenth-anniversary praise, the parade of Jennifer Halloween costumes, or Halsey’s nod to it (“Killing Boys”) on her platinum-selling album.</p>
<p>With insight into the genre’s cinematic tropes, our current cultural reckoning with misogyny, and an original interview with director Karyn Kusama, <i>Extra Salty</i> solidifies the status of <i>Jennifer’s Body</i> as a cult classic.</p>
