037|垫底俱乐部 Bottoms:一场酣畅淋漓的Y2K校园“发烧梦” A Gen Z High School Fever Dream

【聊了什么The What】 有人说Bottoms 垫底俱乐部是一部高校性转版的《搏击俱乐部》,但其实远远不止如此。它荒诞离奇,充满暴力和一些隐藏的不算太深的讽刺和哲思,是适合我们这个时代的美国高校喜剧电影。 故事围绕着Josie和PJ这一对好友展开,她们是这所美国高中食物链的底层,不只是因为她们是拉拉,而是用她们自己的话来说:“gay,ugly and untalented”。在高三毕业前的最后一年这对好友决心突破自己,互为僚机泡到全校最受欢迎的拉拉队队员,而她们达成目标的方式就是阴差阳错组建了这个高中第一个女子搏击俱乐部。 这一期,小蓝和四位酷儿/Gen Z/Older Millennial朋友们,也是一档全新的女权喜剧播客《大波福娃》的主播们,一起聊了聊这部酷儿青少年校园“发烧梦”。

Some say "Bottoms" is a high-school-themed, gender-flipped version of "Fight Club," but it's far more than that. It's a bizarre and whimsical journey, filled with violence and some blazen satire and not-so-subtle philosophical musings— a perfect update of the high school comedy genre fit for our times.

The story revolves around Josie and PJ, a dynamic duo situated at the bottom rung of the American high school social ladder. Their struggles extend beyond being lesbians; in their own words, they're "gay, ugly, and untalented." In their final year before graduating high school, this determined pair sets out to break free from their constraints to date the two most popular cheerleaders in the school. Their unconventional method? Accidentally forming the first all-female fight club in the high school.

In this episode, Xiaolan and her four queer/Gen Z/Older Millennial friends, who are the hosts of the brand-new feminist comedy podcast "Dat Beauvoir," convene to chat about this queer teenage "fever dream."
