#5 - Cruel Intentions (1999) + Charlotte's Wildcard Pick
Description
Brace yourself LGBTQ+ film fans, and gird your loins for the first deeply problematic addition to the Bi-Panic Room.
For three of your hosts, Cruel Intentions taught us a fundamental truth about life: blondes are pious angels and brunettes are sexually promiscuous sociopaths who blaspheme by storing recreational narcotics in their crucifix necklaces. Or something like that.
Your hosts question their own decision to bring this controversial cult classic into the bi-panic room, while unanimously agreeing that Sarah Michelle Gellar delivers unhinged dialogue like a closeted queen and that Hollywood should ban men from writing sexual material about teenagers.
This week’s bi-panic energy features several women in suits - because duh - and Charlotte’s wildcard pick is a real throwback to your 2000s Disney education.
You always checked your nail polish was dry after, right?
Buckle up bicons and get ready for another serving of bipanic.
Our intro music is Drop It by Coma-Media.
