(S1, E13) The Return of Jennifer’s Body
Pop Culture Boner has hit lucky episode 13! What better way to celebrate than by talking about 2009 box-office flop turned cult classic, Jennifer’s Body. We’re thinking about why it failed so hard the first time around and why it’s finally getting the loving treatment it deserves in 2020. And also why Megan Fox as a flesh eating succubus was extremely my jam in 2009.
