Summary

Prep your Lydia from Beetlejuice cosplay and channel your inner Carrie because this week were delving into Marina Sargenti's direct-to-video film Mirror Mirror (1990). CW: the dogs die. Written by sisters Annette and Gina Cascone, the film is almost entirely made by and starring women, including the fabulously named Rainbow Harvest, Karen Black and The Munsters' Yvonne De Carlo (in a very Tangina from Poltergeist-esque role). Up for discussion: being picked last for sports, shitty high school teachers (Tobo!), Karen Black's wigs, sex acts involving reflective surfaces and steam room titties. Plus: Joe teaches Trace the rules of water polo and why we heartily recommend the film despite a so-so 2nd half and audacious, unconventional ending. Reference: Kate Hagen.
