Episode notes

In honor of our international listeners come join Steph and Jess for their European Vacation into cinema! This three episode series begins with a stop in Belgium with 1992’s Man Bites Dog ( C'est Arrivé Près de Chez Vous), a film when we initially read would be as a satire mockumentary about following a serial killer we thought would be so “har-har funny” ended up being more than we bargained for! We discuss the absurdity and extreme violence this student film took to make its rather valid point regarding the media and audiences bloodlust. CW: Mentions of violence and SA.
