Ep# 15 - We Watched Climax So You Don't Have To

Sadly, this is the last known recording of Jenna Ipcar and Veronica Dolginko. In their last hour, they were attempting to bring our most popular segment I Watched It So You Don’t Have To into the land of audio. They spoke about Gaspar Noé’s Climax (2019), a hyper-violent and disorienting drug trip through the world of waacking, krumping and all things modern dance. Listen as they discuss the meaning of the film, or as it turned out, slowly lose their minds trying.
