The Crush (1993)

Welcome back, Aughtsterion fans! It's been months and months since Sam and Jordan brought their boundless passion for Millennium-era genre films with new episodes, but they are making up for the delay with a big hitter for the season 4 premiere. Your co-hosts are joined by Academy Award-winning screenwriter Emerald Fennell, whose movie Promising Young Woman became an instant all-timer for Jordan and Sam. And as Jordan has proven in the past with multiple podcast ventures: if you stan hard enough, dreams can come true! Speaking of dreams materializing, Fennell has brought a true classic of her generation's formative years to the pod. It's time to talk about the oh-my-god-this-got-made Lolita thriller of 1993. It's time to talk about The Crush. It's a movie that, as Fennell says, is really a bridge too far, but it's a movie all three of your hosts for this episode love. And it's a movie that brings a hell of a lot of discussion with it. Mind the wasps, everyone, and let's have fun.
