She says it happened with breast cancer in the '70s, and decades later with endometriosis.

So women were dying of cancer from tumors in their breasts at a, an astonishing rate.

And you, it's hard to think of that now, because it's so well-funded and so well-recognized, and survivorship is quite good now.

But yeah, it's, it just happens again and again.

Um, and it's often because women worked really, really hard and made a lot of noise, and were what some people would call very difficult, um, to bring about change.

It's like we don't seem to learn the core lessons from these things.

It's just this, this cycle that keeps on going.

Young says the patriarchal society that we live in needs to be dismantled.

Mm.

They're just, like, adorable and you...

They have real chemistry, and I think that that's something that could easily have been, like, overlooked because it's a horror film.

But it not only hasn't been, but I think it makes the horror more visceral because the way in which this entity functions, it preys on the thing that you most love.

And because we are able to see the way that they feel about each other every time they interact with this thing, it gets worse in ways that feel much more personal and much more upsetting, specifically because of that aspect of it.

Yeah

... you guys brought up, um, I Saw The TV Glow, 'cause that is a movie that deeply unsettled me when I saw it the first time.

Like, even thinking about it now, like, I can feel my pores raising because there was such a mood and atmosphere that really guided you towards this, like, totality of what it feels like to be in that position as a queer person and having to figure out how to move through the world.

That's kinda what I'm getting from you.

The problem isn't that it's sci-fi.

The problem is that it feels to me like we are doing the same story again with different characters.

Even the design of the monsters looks fairly familiar, and I wish that it had been something that felt completely novel and fresh.

Because as I'm doing right now, all I'm left with is kind of comparisons to something that I think does it better and longer.

And while that, you know, lore did get too convoluted in the end, it was something that was interesting and engaging and new at the time, at least to me as an audience member.

And I feel like this wasn't different enough to distinguish it.

When it

comes to the MCU, like I'm a person who cries every single time I watch Endgame, right? Like these are movies to me that exist not to be high art, which like, sure.

That's maybe grading on a curve, but I absolutely am because I want to be entertained.

They make me feel things I'm invested in characters.

That's really all I need from them.

Right? Like what I really liked about this is that exact same aspect of the story, that desire that he has that necessity that he has to hide and that he is a pirate individual specifically to me because it's read as a very clear metaphor for what it is like living with a mental illness, right? And to me, his struggle to not just hide his powers, but also to work through his craft as an actor are parallel, right? Because so much of what he is doing in terms of preparing his characters is about planning, right? It's just about making sure that he can...

predict what comes next and he can prepare for what comes next so that he is not then put in a situation in which he loses control and reveals himself.

But, I mean, you know, we've talked about the chemistry of the two leads, but is there anything more you wanted to say about it?
