This week we're joined by Milo Muise to discuss what we're calling the "School Scandals Double Feature," May December (2023) and Notes on a Scandal (2006).
Both films deal with the sexualization of the teacher/student relationship, abusive power dynamics, obsession, and divas.
We felt this was a fascinating double feature, but we also flirt with the idea of this as a trilogy with Tar (2022). Maybe we'll talk about Tar in a future episode...
Spoilers: Susan Sontag, obsession, genres vs. sensibilities, diarists are creepy, Julianne Moore went for that lisp, Todd Haynes-let's meet up in Portland and please also employ Dave, acting is embarrassing, #justiceforCharlesMelton, the concept creep of 'camp,' scenes in mirrors, the clash of obvious metaphors and repressive characters is the gap between interpretation and representation, lots of talk about artifice, pet stores, failed attempts to discuss Tar.
Milo Muise is a writer and educator based in Portland, OR.

This week we discussed two films about precocious high school students that came out in 1998 and 1999, which were both second features made by precocious indie filmmakers: Wes Anderson's Rushmore and Alexander Payne's Election. These films have a lot in common, but they also have very different takes on the adolescent / mid-life crisis dynamics they stir up.
We also listen to a call-in from Johanna Isaacson about Slumber Party Massacre, as we continue looking at representations of school in film.
Spoilers: bee sting sequences, Bueller... Bueller..., American Beauty, justice for Margaret Yang, unnecessary aquariums, Alexander Payne and teenage girls, fencing clubs, hand jobs and fingering, women who smoke cigarettes in Wes Anderson films, the power of theater (again), please cast Dave in another Dick Wolf production.
