Read our afterthoughts for this episode at https://twitter.com/PodSematary/status/1500935014724292619 CW: Suicide, Sexual Assault, Rape It’s Meat Cute Week on Pod Sematary! Chris and Kelsey (and Amanda!) find true love in post-apocalyptic, old-timey, future France and do a little choreographed dance for the camera. The Classic Film: Delicatessen (1991) "Post-apocalyptic surrealist black comedy about the landlord of an apartment building who occasionally prepares a delicacy for his odd tenants” (IMDb.com). Yes, we know eating meat is terrible, but even this charming, funny, hopeful, and morbid fantasy isn't going to stop us. (Sorry!) The Modern Film: Fresh (2022) "The horrors of modern dating seen through one young woman's defiant battle to survive her new boyfriend's unusual appetites” (IMDb.com). Fresh is a delightful and horrible story that threatens to charm its audience in much the same way its villain does its protagonist. When Kelsey and Amanda saw it in previews, they knew Chris would love it, too. They were right. Audio Sources: "Delicatessen" produced by Constellation, et al.
