Paid in Puke Podcast S9E7: Bottoms

On Season 9, Episode 7 of Paid in Puke Podcast, we’re celebrating Emma Seligman‘s 2023 high school sex comedy, “Bottoms”, written by Seligman and Rachel Sennott. “Bottoms” stars Sennott, Ayo Edebiri, Ruby Cruz, Havana Rose Liu, Kaia Gerber, and Marshawn Lynch

Fargeat has studied her predecessors and pinpointed all of their missteps. Films like I Spit On Your Grave and Last House on the Left spent way too much time on the violation part of the story…
