In this episode, we discuss Generation Um... (2012) and Knock Knock (2015), two films from wildly different genres with common themes. In both films, Keanu plays an aging man eager to reclaim his youth opposite two younger women eager to offer themselves as solutions to his midlife crisis. Charisse L’Pree and Lani Diane Rich of Chipperish Media discuss the goals of film, gendered roles, and the deployment of rape fantasies in pop storytelling.

Trigger Warning: Discussion of rape.
