Paid in Puke S9E6: May December

On Season 9, Episode 6 of Paid in Puke, we're dissecting Todd
Haynes' 2023 drama, May December, starring Natalie Portman,
Julianne Moore, and Charles Melton. Team May December is claiming
that the film is only "loosely based" on Mary Kay Letourneau and
Vili Fualaau. We discuss the difference between "inspired" and
"ripped off", and why Fualaau is not happy about this film. 


Trigger Warnings for child abuse, child rape, and childhood
trauma.


This movie is serving THEMES. Why does Hollywood love to look for
the humanity in bad people? Can a person truly live a life
without regret? Can you really love your abuser? Is there a
responsible way to make a film about a living victim without
their consent? BUTTERFLIES. 


We do a fun Lunchtime Poll to counteract all the darkness. What
