"NOW A Warning?!" - Death Becomes Her
·1 hr 15 min·7 clips
This movie is a literally perfect movie to me, blending horror and comedy brilliantly.
As heard by us
A conversational revisit that treats youth, aging, and subtext as the point.
This episode uses Death Becomes Her to think through youth, aging, and the familiar joke of wanting time to stop. It is strongest when Madeline, Helen, and Ernest come into focus through what they do, not through speeches about what they mean.
Why you'd press play
You want a funny, brainy revisit of a comedy without the stiffness or homework.
