You Know What I Like...?

Not a dream. Not a hoax. It's the end of an era and we spend time on a retrospective of the podcast while giving our opinions on a bunch of different cheeses.
This month we're talking about Our Last Episode (and Cheese).
Come and listen to us talk about our favourite moments making this show, our favourite guests, and reveal how much we're going to miss doing this every month.

Everyone knows what to expect from Shakespeare: poetic dialogue, insights into the human condition and...a 90s Seattle high school?!
This month we're talking about 10 Things I Hate About You.
Come and listen to us talk about reclaiming bad plays, Heath Ledger's charm can carry any film, and our most controversial opinion on why we think Shakespeare is actually quite good.

There are times when you're consuming something and realise that this was made for you in this exact moment. For Mark, that was this month's topic.
This month we're talking about tick, tick...BOOM!

Do you have that one thing that nobody else can understand the depth in? An existentialist revitalisation of Part V, Chapter II of Anna Karenina that highlights Levin's acceptance of his place in the world as he marries the woman that he loves, perhaps? For us, it's how nobody seems to realise how dystopian the world of the Villain Kids is.
This month we're talking about Disney's Descendants.
Come and listen to us talk about our pre-podcast drunken conversations, unionising the Disney sidekicks, and experience our first buddy read along with us!

As Mark stepped out of the lift, he was confronted with a version of himself with a black eye and a feather boa. Is this the beginning of an inevitable time loop that will result in body swapping and death, or simply the promise of another Friday night.
This month we're talking about Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency.
Come and listen to us talk about weird fiction, how to enjoy non-serialised media, and our future plans to talk about cheese.

There is a certain charm to being able to sit down with a children's movie, zone out, and have a cheerful lovely time. That's especially true when the film centres around...grief? Get some tissues for this one.
This month we're talking about Vivo.
Come and listen to us talk about defining characters as either annoying or endearing, the quality of media within media, and sticking monkeys in cages to watch them dance.

We've talked about the hole at the center of this podcast. Positivity seems at first glance to fill that hole perfectly. But we must look a little closer. And when we do, we see that the positivity has a hole in its center - it does not fill that hole at all but is a smaller doughnut with its own hole, and our doughnut is not whole at all! I think we lost our train of thought at some point.
This month we're talking about Knives Out.
Come and listen to us talk about what makes the best murder mystery, the best asshole, and how much of the rich we think we should eat.

This month we're talking about The Baby-Sitters Club.

Goblin King! Goblin King! Wherever you may be. Take this episode of mine far away from me.
I wish I knew what to say to get the goblins to take you away.
This month we talk about the most fae film of them all: Labyrinth.

In your life, have you ever worried that you're going to leave something unfulfilled, something unfinished? Fear not!

When you look at your bookcase - filled with books you've already read - do you only see a log of all of the things you've read before?

To lead the way, it's time to talk about one of Mark's favourite series from his childhood.

This month we talk about The Saga of Darren Shan.

Come and listen to us talk about the need for emotional nuance, why you shouldn't feel shame about what you like, and we predict when Sophie will be crushed by her to-read pile.

A lot of the same complaints get leveed at YA books. Have you ever lamented that the main character is too bland? Have you ever cried to the heavens that the classic love triangle is no good?

Have we got the book for you.
This month we talk about Legendborn.
Come and listen to us talk about complicated feelings, picking what you want from myths, and redefining just who gets to be legendary.

Snow falls outside your window as you pull the kubanka onto your head. A branch taps gently on the window-frame, rhythmic with its  pattern and making you feel safe; it reminds you of being snuggled up in your mother's arms.
Suddenly the door busts open and everyone is dead, numbers on lists that were later lost.
Welcome to Russia following the revolution.
This month we talk about Doctor Zhivago by Boris Pasternak.

You open up this podcast, reach inside and realise that your hand is actually your face, and you're grabbing your own nose. You sniff, and you inhale the egg that has been nesting inside your subconscious for the past twelve months. That's it. You're free.
Not sure what you just read? Just wait until you get to this book.

This episode is the definitive piece of pop culture about the Tudors. Forget Phillipa Gregory. Forget Alison Weir. Forget Six, the Musical. Hell, forget that Golden Globe-winning BBC series. Forget...wow...there really are lots of adaptations of the Tudor period aren't there?
Come and listen to us talk about how much murder is too much murder, the Tudor fashion trend we'd like to bring back and, most importantly, funnel-shaped genitalia.
Sorry about the day late upload. Life unfortunately got in the way.
