December Keanu

In this episode, we discuss Generation Um... (2012) and Knock
Knock (2015), two films from wildly different genres with common
themes. In both films, Keanu plays an aging man eager to reclaim
his youth opposite two younger women eager to offer themselves as
solutions to his midlife crisis. Charisse L’Pree and Lani Diane
Rich of Chipperish Media discuss the goals of film, gendered
roles, and the deployment of rape fantasies in pop storytelling.


Trigger Warning: Discussion of rape.
