saw this in theaters and towards the end when lou tells jackie "there's nothing wrong with you" EVERYONE in the room made some kind of "ehh... i mean...." disagreement noises. there's so many things wrong with her

Honestly the gays are winning with this movie. I don’t know what we’re winning, but we’re winning something

honestly, i’m so glad kristen stewart was FINALLY able to beat the “bad acting” allegations. i love the twilight movies because of how campy they are, but thank god she was able to find other roles that suited her talents wayyyyy better 😭

Girl the beef has gotten so big that the Dominicans and Puertoricans made a salsa/merengue version of BBL Drake. LMAO I love my people 😂😂😂😂

saw this in theatre with my crush now we're girlfriends ☝️😌 10/10 movie

I can’t be the only one that misses her disclaimers and tw in the beginnings 😭😭😭

i have so many feelings about this movie 😭 i think one of the main points was to analyze how toxic lesbian/wlw relationships can be by comparing Lou's relationship with her sister's. Its super easy for us to admonish lou's sister for staying w her abusive husband but at the end of the day lou also chooses to stay with someone who pushes her to betray her morals and puts her in objectively terrible situations

I think one of the things that was so awesome about this movie was that Jackie and Lou are both the shitty boyfriend archetype. Lesbian rep and movies about lesbians has gone up but this was one of the few examples I've seen of deadbeat boyfriend lesbians and it was stellar to see. Diversity win!!! Your girlfriend can be a pos too!!

to me the end scene with Jackie (besides being a giantess fetish scene) was Lou's hyper drugged out /traumatized super idealist image of Jackie, considering she was living under her Dads thumb and her mom was gone, witnessing lots of abuse caused by men = big strong protective woman crushing her Dad being an ideal image in her mind

"because I'm a virgin." Will always make me laugh

“This is not about RAP!” - you can see how hard Kennie was fighting her inner monologue and fails anyway 😂😂😂

Kennie, you forgot the part with Jackie calling her family, and her brother and mother says something hinting to her doing something horrible and that she isn’t welcome back home. That made me think about if she had done something similar in the past👀

0:03 Same here. Not even a rap fan but I'm so engrossed in this beef and Kendrick's lines have been stuck in my head for the WHOLE WEEK. I be shouting 'what is it, THE BRAIDS?!' at the air and getting looks from my family 😂

At a glance ( not having seen the movie, where context is usually pretty important for metaphors ) the throwing up Lou could be either ‘purging’ herself of the relationship or linking her disintegrating stability with the loss of or separation from Lou. Lou was the gateway to the steroids, to the escalation into murder, but ejecting Lou from her system leaves her only with the violence, without the twisted tenderness entwined in it. I thought it was an interesting note to end on the attempt to dispose of the body and falling back into old habits. Feels like a story that doesn’t have a pat moral lesson, just a surreal reflective storytime about screwed up humans being in a screwed up world and trying to eke out maladaptive intimacy and affection amongst it. I’m putting it in my list. My long list I pretend I’ll finish someday but I’m at least putting it on

I would love for you to do an analysis of the Kendrick and drake beef bc I can’t keep up with it 😩

When she turned into the hulk, I burst out laughing, it was amazing.

i felt like the movie was about addiction pretty explicitly tbh. the characters are shown to have plenty of vices throught the film-- Lou with her smoking (and being drawn to the power of firearms/violence that she tries to repress througout most of the movie), Jackie with the steroids and also working out (which is also largely a power thing, wanting to be physically formidable)-- which I think the movie uses to also present love as a kind of addiction. Lou and Jackie's relationship is pretty starkly paralleled to Beth and J.J.'s relationship. Not at first obv, but later on when things start going off the rails and Jackie starts to turn her physical strength against Lou, and Lou going to these crazy lengths to help her and keep her at her side anyway. And the whole thing is tangled up in power. I like that a lesbian romance being at the center is almost circumstantial, like none of the violence happens BECAUSE they're lesbians, but both of them being women in a patriarcal world is very relevant imo, and I think informs both of their relationships to the concept of power, and how that ends up twisting their relationship. and lol yeah I think all the muscle-giant stuff was definitely figurative of Jackie feeling and being strong and powerful, and Lou being deeply attracted to that. That's why at the end they're both giants as they run away, because they're feeling powerful and free. It's been a while since I saw the film and eloquence is not my strong suit, but lol yeah that's how I read it

Love this movie for accurately portraying the average Lesbian first date

i think the symbolism of her body building is trying to become physically/mentally strong enough to not "lose" to men or have to be fearful of them. esp given that she gets bigger after killing him it implies that she "ate" him or won over him/took the power she perceives from strength/masculinity from him, which to makes sense when she later throws him up.

she did have gloves when she unclogged the toilet. the sound design on this movie is INSANE esp in theaters, so i vividly remember the sound of kristen taking off the gloves and shooting them in the trash. i’m glad to have seen it in theaters tho. it felt like the room was silent bc it was SO engrossing. speaking of sound design, the “music” used immediately had tension built from the start and it felt like the tension only disappeared in like the last 10 minutes maybe. my friend and i wanted to see it again but it got taken out so quick 💔 glad we got the experience tho.

my fave line is “LOVE YOU SIS!” shouted so aggressively after being called a monster LMFAOO my friend and i couldn’t stop shouting that after the movie cuz we were HOLLERING when that happened

16:55 "Made him turn into a hungry hungry hippo." You certainly know how to turn a phrase.

Us "No plans to ever see this movie; Just here for the laughs" people are always left out of the rundown. lol

Seeing that Lou was the one that gave her the substance. Lou was the handler of that substance. Her being by herself and Lou not being there. Now she sees that she's out of control and she threw up Lou, meaning she threw away that signifier of control that she had over the drug over the substance. And over herself.

I have Macklemore's Hind Hall stuck in my head! Stream it everywhere good people, the money will go to UNRWA

hey editors!! love you lots please bring back the disclaimer slide we miss her 🥺😔 also i was eating during the puke scene don't jumpscare me like that 😔😔

The thought of people licking proteen shakes of each other in a gym is so funny to me.

oh to be 2 lesbian giantesses running under a supernova from the FBI

i personally have also had bbl drizzy beat stuck in my head, just found out yesterday it was an actual song PRIOR to the beef 😭😭😭

the ending is literally just alice’s vision in new moon of vampire bella and edward, except with sapphics ✨😌

the concept of “being evil makes you burn better” has interesting (and delicious) implications about the moral standing of barnyard animals

my friend described this movie as “the most sonically upsetting experience I’ve ever had” and I haven’t stopped thinking about it since (I agree tho, the squelching noises were worse than the gore for me)

What is it the BRAIDS? I hurt your feelings, you dont work with me? OK! 😭😭😭

That throw up scene was more shocking than whatever saltburn was

I've been very depressed. Looking for motivation to keep going in life. But I will be damned if I'm not gonna live long enough to see that Baby Reindeer video.

I can't imagine being Kristin Stewart. She is so heckin cool. I love it when people complain about her acting. Because when has Tom Hanks not been Tom Hanks in a role. She is a great actress and she handled her - bewildering Era of infamy- Like a total badass.

The amount of times I’ve bumped Not Like Us is crazyyyyy 😂

this movie looks like an instant cult classic

“Hungry hungry hippo” is WILD 💀😂

Jackie goin super saiyan wild but strangely not the wildest part of the movie 😂😂

I know Katy O'Brian and I'm very excited to watch this movie. She's from my city and we took acting classes together before she moved to LA. She's an incredibly nice person.

LOVED THIS MOVIE. So, lesbian and funny ❤️ so campy, suspenseful and so magically real(within the real of a Hollywood movie lol). In Latin America we grow up knowing about the use of Magical Realism (coined by Isabel Allende - using seemingly magical images or scenes in a non-fantasy/realist story) to convey character development in a book or film. So, reading or knowing about Magical Realism and then watching the movie helps a lot. It’s used from beginning to end. Every time there was cartoonish depictions of her muscles, them growing into giants, her hallucinating on stage (after too much trauma and steroids) depicts the changes or mixing of feelings going on within her and how those are interacting with reality. Like her puking Kristen’s character was her body trying to purge the one who seemingly poisoned her w steroids in this case. It’s just a different way of showing character growth. So the movie remains real, it’s not fantasy, but fantasy is used to convey character growth. 💕💕 can’t wait to watch it again. And yes, plz do a video on the Drake beef 🤣.

this movie feels similar to the magical realism genre!!! i love it. it doesn’t ALL make sense, but i think the reason she gets so big at the end is symbolic of her swelling with the strength of love or some shit 😭 this movie’s kinda bananas in such a brutal way but i love it!

I love how the end of the movie ignores the fact that lui got shot in the foot lmao

Glad you covered this movie! It feels like it's rare to see muscle mommy type bodies on screen in ways that aren't diminishing them. Plus, I kinda like this gritty, disaster lesbian horror storyline. I saw another recap that brought this up and now your review has me wanting to see it. Thanks!! Also, the jumper is perfect! I love a mustard-ish yellow, too.

take a shot every time Lou says she’s going to quit smoking, take another shot each time she smokes after that

trying to strike a chord and it's probably-

i choked at the hotbox joke

uhm... so I was stoned out of my mind when I watched this couple of days ago... so I'm here to check if I made up that ending 🙃

A video on the Kendrick beef would be hilarious like the who the F did I marry video, it would be great from a Kennie point of view 😭😭

re: the car sex shit, i asked someone i know recently and she said "there is zero reason to have sex in a car as an adult" 😭😭😭😭

Everytime, they showed Daisy's nasty corn teeth I grimaced. I also found it interesting how her beverage of choice was milk. It would be cool if you checked out Rose Glass' other movie Saint Maud.

My favorite thing to do is show my boyfriend movies with no context I get from you. This is perfect for tonight thanks

I think it really shows that she transitioned from an abusive father relationship to an abusive partner relationship, as they both use her. She's able to see her sister's relationship as abusive, but she can't see how her relationship is also abusive. She wants love from Jackie so much that she'll be her henchman.

i rlly enjoyed the movie. but then again, i love killing eve and hannibal. queer love + gore, even the weird kind, is a combo i have experience with haha

This movie be one of those "toxic yuri" romance, i think that's great

Girl. When I tell you that I’ve searched for WEEKS for someone, ANYONE who’d validate the viewing experience I had… You’re brave for this, and you’re not alone ✊ Really though I was not ready for this to flop for me like it did 💔

Your "hotbox" comment was my reminder to like the video hahahaha God I love you

yessss, i'd love to know your thoughts on kendrick absolutely eviscerating bbl drizzy. also made everyone realize megan's "hiss" was about drake.

Oh please. This is peak romance.

KJD: it’s strange and surreal in a way I didn’t fully expect when I sat down to watch it me: oh yeah. 🤨 in what way? *cue Kristen Stewart being vomited out of that lady’s body* me: …oh

Your Beth impersonation is so good 😂

MANNNN.. I clicked on your video to get away from the Kendrick & drake beef & the first thing you say is “WHAT IS IT THE BRAIDS!?”😭😭💀

I think the surreal parts may represent steroid induced psychosis? Since she's been shooting up a bunch of steroids to get ready for the competition. I think she has done other things in the past though cause when her mom was on the phone she called Jackie a monster. I also love all the little hints they dropped at her becoming a giant throughout the movie 💕

This is exactly what wlw relationships feel like

ooohhh here a little TEW early. i will now postpone my nap

Baby reindeer is so fucking sad i saw it in one afternoon and the rest of the day i was just sad

3:54 heavy on don’t care about spoilers. My anxiety stops me from watching movies unless I know what’s going to happen. So if Kennie doesn’t go over it I’m not gonna watch 🤚🏼

The backshots in the back of a car gave me WHIPLASH 😭

The rap battle has had me STUCK. I’ve been immersed in that. the most I’ve ever commented on KZfaq thanks to it

saw this in theaters with my sister and it was the most memorable theater experience of my life

Opening the app and seeing Kennie uploaded a minute ago is truly a blessing amen

Getting an ad for a shamalan movie before this is absurd

Kennie, girl same, this kdot and drake drama has me in a chokehold. BBL drizzly, braids, BUM, and a minoooorrr has been on loop in my head.

Thank God it’s Saturday 😭🥹

Hey Kennie, long time fan & filmbuff here! I think I might have an interesting theory for you (21:50). For context, I believe the reason Jackie starts hallucinating on stage at the body building competition is because while she tries to continue living and even using steroids/drugs to distract her from the fact that she has brutally murdered someone, she cannot escape it. In this scene, it becomes apparent that even though the whole reason for her coming to the town where Lou is, IS to go to the competition, she no longer is alone because she carries the weight of her actions and her trying to push them away made it worse for her because it came to a head where her psyche literally exploded and broke her reality. NOW, knowing all of this, to me- Jackie throwing up Lou represents that she carries her in her body, literally inside her - almost like a baby, but she cannot carry her weight and so she throws her up. Doesn't give birth to her, because she doesn't see her as her child but her partner AND if you see, Lou is covered in bile and in the fetal position after Jackie spits her out. Jackie murdered him FOR Lou. She carries the burden for her because she loves her so much but shouldn't have done it, in any case if anyone were to do it, it should have been Lou. Jackie tried to center herself by escaping from the situation and going to the competition, but even then - she is no longer free, she is always attached to Lou in her mind bc of what she did, and this visual gives us an understanding of how much this is weighing on her.

Kennie please watch Wild Zero! It's a really out there movie featuring Japanese band Guitar Wolf, motorcycles, hair combing, rock and roll, explosions, and aliens I think! I can't remember because there's a drinking game that will guarantee you don't make it through the whole movie

As soon as you began to ask if we want a video on the Drake-Kendrick beef, I yelled yes 😂

The parallels about cigarettes and guns are also interesting, one representing addiction and the other strength but also cowardice.

Hey Kendall! So me and my boyfriend just came from seeing Not Another Church Movie. Basically a spoof of all Tyler Perry movies. We hated it but I want you see it so you can hate/love it too lol

At some point in the movie there's a TV and we can see a cartoon version of Gulliver's Travels where he's a giant. Nice foreshadowing for the giantess ^^ Oh and all the weird flesh-y wet noises we heard during the movie were so unsettling. A+ on the sound! XD

idk why but I fully misheard you at the beginning & thought you said “the Anna Kendrick & Drake beef” and had to do the ear version of a double take

Off topic but that yellow jumpsuit and black flowery dress looked so cute on you! You should do a look-book video sometime

you should definitely watch Saint Maud if you liked this movie, Rose Glass is an amazing director and does weird and confusing extremely well. plus Saint Maud is a genuine horror movie if you like that kind of stuff!!

I’m so happy you mentioned the beef between drake and k dot bc meet the grahams has been playing nonstop in my head and in my Spotify 🤣 THE NERV OF YOU DENNIS

The introooo lmfao. I cant wait to catch your Baby Reindeer vid and idc IF ITS AUGUST. I definitely want that vid of Kendrick vs Drake 😂

The More you watch her the more you get a "childish crush"like feeling ,,, like damn this girl is pretty

The amount of lesbians walking into this with excitement only to get …. This

Throwing up Lou’s body gave me flashbacks to Men and that wasn’t awesome 😅

“ sensory overwhelming moments “… cue to someone VOMITING A HUMAN? I mean what the fu…

Kirsten Stewart is always in the most obscure films lol

Found you because of the ned fuller drama stayed for the vibes (yes kendrick/drake tea has been giving me life anything you post on that would be 100% welcome!)

We missed you!!!

Hollywood should stop making movies about women they can’t get a hold of. They’re unobtainable for a reason.

I was so excited to see Kennie uploaded!!! I love her hair here too, gorgeous as always 💗💗💗 (I've been following the beef, and I'd very much enjoy seeing Kennie's perspective on it 😂)

is kristen stewart turning into norman reedus? i mean this w respect

Omg I saw this film last night and now I’m early to a Kennie JD video about it?!? 🙀 it’s a sign

excited for the baby reindeer video because i just finished it this morning!

I'm cool with whatever you wanna talk about, Kennie. I'm here cause I like hearing your takes.

PLEASE watch the movie Lucy with Scarlett Johansson, I haven't laughed this hard in years (it's not a comedy)
