APPLE PODCASTS | SOUNDCLOUD | SPOTIFY

Self-indulgence means taking a moment to cover a highly recced movie (both by us and our followers): the Russian 2015 film On Drakon.

This film smashes all the Metamashina buttons: Monster husbands, inescapable female gaze, overcoming generational trauma, and medieval Russian wastelands. We reiterate our favorite points of these tropes, as well as exploring the Bad Dragon website for a newfound monster kink . . . and a bonus rant about US healthcare.
