Snark Squad Pod #129 – Your Monster (2024)

Previously: We had big feelings about Persuasion, which included “get behind me, Netflix Persuasion! I’ll protect you!”

Marines: Wow, so that was a very unplanned and unexpected break, but in our defense, we had an episode scheduled that just completely fell apart, and it took us a second to recalibrate. Particularly because we wanted to find something that we were excited to talk about during a period of time when all the news was bad, and all our grief was anger.

Enter: Your Monster. I saw approximately 2 people talking about this on TikTok, but in such a way that I was immediately sold on trying out this genre-blended movie. Melissa Barrera falls in love with the monster? Yes, of course, sign me up.

There was only one natural choice for our guest on an episode about monster romance– Grapie from grapiedeltaco. Grapie primarily talks about media over on TikTok, where she also has gained a reputation for finding and reading the wildest romances you’ve ever heard of.

I'm a 30-something south Floridan who loves the beach but cannot swim. Such is my life, full of small contradictions and little trivialities. My main life goals are never to take life too seriously, but to do everything I attempt seriously well. After that, my life goals devolve into things like not wearing pants and eating all of the Zebra Cakes in the world. THE WORLD.
