"Is there a problem?"
Description
You've considered the question "Are you food, or are you sex?" But now The Neon Demon pod presents you with another: "Is there a problem?" So far, Roxana, Jordan, and William have set the stage for Demon with a look at Nicolas Winding Refn's career and laid a foundation for the predator/prey relationship between Elle Fanning's Jesse and her pseudo-vampiric fashion industry cohort. For this episode, your co-hosts will now brace themselves for a breakdown of one of the film's most excruciating scenes, the closed set photoshoot with star photographer Jack, that features young Jesse stripped down to nothing but gold paint with a grown man's hands all over her. So, let's all get uncomfortable and consider the limits of the phrase "well nothing happened," Jesse as subject vs. object, and the dangerous nature of Ruby.
