Episode 68: Ravenous & Bones and All (Cannibals with Vampire Vibes)

This week, Bri and Leah do something a little different: we're talking about cannibals! But these cannibals could definitely pass as vampires if they wanted to. We're looking at Ravenous (1999, dir. Antonia Bird) and Bones and All (2022, dir. Luca Guadagnino). While these films might seem like a weird double feature... hear us out!

The articles Leah promises at the end of the episode:

David Ehrlich for Rolling Stone on why Ravenous is the greatest cannibal Western ever made: https://www.rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv-movie-news/to-serve-man-why-ravenous-is-the-greatest-cannibal-western-ever-43674/

Walter Chaw on Ravenous for Decider (he sees the Bones and All connection, too!): https://decider.com/2022/09/20/walter-chaw-ravenous/

And, maybe my favorite (which compares Ravenous and Hannibal), from Samantha McLaren for Gayly Dreadful: https://www.gaylydreadful.com/blog/pride-2021-its-lonely-being-a-cannibal-hungry-homoerotic-friendship-in-ravenous-and-hannibal
