Join QWINY and this weeks very special guest, studied musician, activist, it girl DJ RE-IMAGE!
Today’s episode we’ll be aiming to dive into an exploration of Gregg Araki’s “nowhere”. A 1997 indie cult classic with a nihilistic black comedy with a vibrant 90’s colour pallet. Full of unconventional sexual escapades, with that specific anxiety 90’s films give to their young adult characters that makes you root for them through their many fumbles. Our conversation leads to a discussion of projecting power through sex, investigating how the characters needs for community and connection are played out through their sex lives. We also discuss nihilism and how the 90s ethos connects to modern traits like doomscrolling and anti-cringe sensibilites that young adults now are currently culturally seeped into. Enjoy a cheeky, unfiltered chat where two good Judies yap away about a whacky alien movie. With games and giggles we hope you enjoy this next chapter of LIT CRIT CHICK!
Join QWINY and this weeks very special guest, trailblazing writer, performer, speaker, DAX CARNAY! Today’s episode we’ll be aiming to dive into an exploration of Dax’s 2023 work “The 6 guys an Immigrant Transperson of Colour will Date in Melbourne”. Currently thriving in it’s second run at the Motley Bauhaus. This episode is also all about rom-coms, and how they have inspired Dax and their work. A heartfelt and often heart-wrenching portrayal of her own experiences dating in Melbourne in the earlier stages of transition, the play uses rom-com tropes to highlight the beautiful tragicomedy of the narrative. Enjoy a hilarious, unfiltered chat where I get to ask Dax all of my burning questions. Through philosophical insights, dirty jokes and incredible anecdotes Dax and I investigate genre, men, marriage and of course, this fabulous show. With games and giggles we hope you enjoy this next chapter of LIT CRIT CHICK!
Join QWINY and this weeks very special guest, funny lady and Naarm Drag legend, ZELDA MOON! Today’s episode we’ll be aiming to explore the barren wastelands and psychedelic tapestries of czech/french cult classic “La Planete Sauvage”. An animated film about a boy’s journey to freedom on an alien planet. Enjoy as the conversation divulges into a questioning of metaphor and meaning over a text that begs one to project ones own ideas of society, freedom and rebellion onto it. From terrifyingly beautiful creatures, to giant blue meditating aliens, to pre iPhone dog collars with all known information on the planet, this film has it all. With games and giggles we hope you enjoy this next chapter of LIT CRIT CHICK!
