Episode 23: The Neon Demon

This week Nikki and Kate watched The Neon Demon and talked about the 16 old girl inside of every man, LIGHTS, and the importance of kissing both reflections equally. There were also discussions on problematic tropes about queer women and how to level a critique at societal norms instead of blaming individuals for how they navigate restricted choices. One could say it’s a beefy episode.
