American Psycho (2000): Masculinity is Empty Inside
Sep 1900:53:04Tap to summarizeWelcome back to Masc Off, a podcast about masculinity in movies! This week we discuss American Psycho (2000), directed by Mary Harron. Join us as we claim we aren't going to armchair diagnose Patrick Bateman before doing exactly that, we affirm how nice it is to watch Jared Leto get axe-murdered, and Sarah repeatedly claims she could fix Patrick by getting him into Pokemon lore. And of course, we get sidetracked once again trying to re-litigate our issues with the MCU.Bluesky | Letterboxd | TumblrEmail us at mascoffpod@proton.me

Mulan (1998): Masculinity is Chopsticks Between Your Toes
Aug 2600:56:31Tap to summarizeWelcome back to Masc Off, a podcast about masculinity in movies! This week we discuss Disney's Mulan (1998), but we get sidetracked by a) the inexplicable delight of Harvey Fierstein's casting, b) which Tamora Pierce novels we were over-invested in, and c) Sarah's pitch for a butch4butch remake of Aladdin. Join us for all this, plus a lot of feelings about seeing (or not seeing) ourselves in our childhood media!Bluesky | Letterboxd | TumblrEmail us at mascoffpod@proton.me

Jaws (1975): Masculinity is Three Guys on a Boat
Jul 1800:59:53Tap to summarizeWelcome to the inaugural episode of Masc Off, a podcast about masculinity in film. This is a passion project started by Andrew, queer trans man, and Sarah, queer cis woman, who both have dealt with the idea of a "masculine identity" in very different ways. This week, we're discussing Steven Spielberg's debut film, Jaws. Did you know it's pretty good? Crazy. Bluesky | Letterboxd | TumblrEmail us at mascoffpod@proton.me
