This week, we&apos;re discussing Karen Kusama&apos;s horror-comedy Jennifer&apos;s Body (2009).  There&apos;s a LOT to get into here,  including how the studio mishandled marketing the film, our collective misguided disdain for Megan Fox, and the constant, sweat-inducing anxiety of being a queer teenager.  How fun!
