Author Reel Rap Posted on

Reel Rap Season 5 is here. In the hot seat: Sofia Coppola and her debut film, The Virgin Suicides

In the first episode of Reel Rap Season 5, Shane and Bennett discuss Sofia Coppola’s directorial debut film, 1999’s The Virgin Suicides. They discuss how Coppola’s signature style began to make itself known in everything from the costumes and casting, to the acting and its portrayal of youth.

Also in this episode, they discuss the perennially underrated Kirsten Dunst, taking pride in work and the how film both employs and deconstructs the male gaze.

A comedy duo straight out of William Penn’s backyard, Bennett Glace, an adult Disney fan, and Shane Pfender, an ordained minister, have for years lent a critical eye to Hollywood’s most tedious auteurs. They are a comedy duo for film snobs and slobs alike. Exhausted by the current uninspired landscape of film criticism, the two work to find a new language with which to understand and interact with the films they cover on their inimitable podcast, Reel Rap.
