Episode 86: The Unworthy - Is it Nunsploitation?
1Description
Agustina Bazterrica's 2023 novel The Unworthy explores the relationship of its unnamed narrator with the repressive post-apocalyptic cult in which she finds herself. Jack and Kate embark on a harrowing journey through broken relationships and authoritarian control and dare to ask the most important question of all: can it be considered nunsploitation?
What does it mean to crave feel-bad stories? Where did nunsploitation come from? And why does everything have to be "elevated," anyway? All these topics and more will be explored in this episode of the podcast.
