About the book
Megan Fox, a diabolic indie rock band, toxic friendship, fluid sexuality, feminist reckoning, and a literal man-eater in the body of a high school cheerleader: Jennifer s Body has it all
Featuring an original interview with director Karyn Kusama
What would be an easy sell in 2021 women at the helm (screenwriter Diablo Cody, director Karyn Kusama), a bankable cast (Megan Fox, Amanda Seyfried), and a deceptively complex skewering of gender politics was a box office flop in 2009. In Extra Salty, Frederick Blichert flips the script on how Jennifer s Body was labeled a failure to celebrate all that is scrumptious (as Jennifer would say) about it: supernatural horror, dark comedy, queer love, and a nuanced handling of gendered violence. The movie could have been to the aughts what Heathers was to the eighties, and it s finally getting its due whether in the flood of tenth-anniversary praise, the parade of Jennifer Halloween costumes, or Halsey s nod to it ( Killing Boys ) on her platinum-selling album.
With insight into the genre s cinematic tropes, our current cultural reckoning with misogyny, and an original interview with director Karyn Kusama, Extra Salty solidifies the status of Jennifer s Body as a cult classic.
