our flag means death

Welcome aboard our ship as we sail to uncertain death? Or uncertain love? Who's to say. But in reality, we are sailing to season 2 of Our Flag Means Death! Because this is a OFMD fancast of course, you twats. 

Join co-captians Blue and Jenna on their maiden voyage introducing themselves, talking about meeting Nathan Foad and Con O'Neill at Emerald City Comic Con, and our theories about the teaser mermaid flag that is promised to wreck our ships in 2023!

Follow us on instagram @youfancyafinepod and follow Blue's tiktok @blueblueb_ue and Jenna's admittedly less pirate obsessed account @datecardpod

We're back! We've been hiding in the (metaphorical) walls, trapped in a (mostly metaphorical) box, and like Lucius surely will do, we return to the ship! Our return from unintended hiatus is ably assisted by Dr. Rob Spirko, disability studies scholar, who brings us great insights and a helluva game of "Wed, Bed, Behead." And Co-Captain Jenn brings her maybe-favorite pirate joke.

Recently Charlie Jane came up with a new term for stories she's been enjoying: Sweetweird. What does this mean, and is it a subgenre or an aesthetic? And also, why do we enjoy inventing and debating new genre terms so much?

Meet Father Teach himself! Jenn interviews actor Damien Gerard, who has captured our hearts with his inspirational, heartfelt and engaging Twitter. Damien shared about his journey, from the UK to California, surviving life-threatening injury and illness along the way. His philosophy is to do everything with full enthusiasm, and to do everything with deep compassion. And then Jenn chats with fellow fan Stiney, who gives us a sneak peek into Rhys Darby's stand up shows.

In Our Flag Means Death, sailing the open seas meant freedom for many in the 1700s, and that could not be more true than it is for real-life pirate captain Stede Bonnet, the Gentleman Pirate! Running away from his life and family among the colonial elite of British Barbados, Stede builds a boat, hires a crew, and fails miserably as a pirate captain… that is until he meets the infamous Blackbeard!

To celebrate the last week of Pride, Amanda and Patrick find themselves sailing the high seas, where they stay mostly on topic as they discuss the breakout queer pirate comedy Our Flag Means Death from HBO Max! Join us as we delve into our favorite moments, characters, and themes of one of the best-executed queer shows on television today. Come listen as they talk about the subtle ways this show keeps important topics light and how empowering it is to see a wide variety of actual queer folk (actors and characters) represented onscreen. Patrick delves into his roots as a history major to bring you some fun facts from the history of Atlantic piracy, while Amanda screeches about kissing, Mary’s post-Stede life, and how showrunner and creator David Jenkins fights queerbaiting head-on.

With a second season recently announced, Amanda and Patrick talk about what they’re looking forward to in the new season. Their love for all things Taika Waititi is evident as they gush over the powerhouse cast that includes the likes of Rhys Darby, Vico Ortiz, Con O’Neill, Nathan Foad, Leslie Jones, and Samson Kayo. Later, Patrick declares himself firmly pro-pirate, while Amanda brings up other notable ways this show creates an inclusive space.

So join us as we set sail in search of some booty (and love) on this edition of GateCrashers!

Spoiler Warning: this episode discusses the first season of Our Flag Means Death in its entirety in the second half of the episode.

Greeting programs, and welcome to the Awesome Friday Podcast. This week we’re taking a closer look at the new ridiculous (in a good way) Roland Emmerich film Moonfall and the Rhys Darby and Taika Waititi led series Our Flag Means Death. Spoiler alert we loved both of these things, so come and join us for a love fest. 

Ed. Note: We had technical difficulties while recording this episode; some interference cropped up that we didn’t hear during recording. While I could minimize it, I couldn’t eliminate it entirely, so apologies for the segments where there is some static. -M

Topics Discussed:

• The Dagger (2:24): Holly discussed The Satapur Moonstone by Sujata Massey. The year is 1922 and the princely state of Satapur, India has suffered multiple tragedies that culminate in the new king being a 10 year-old boy. The dowager queen and her daughter-in-law seek the aid of Perveen Mistry, the only female lawyer in Bombay. Her key takeaways from this book were:

• Feminism and female empowerment are a major theme, with explorations ranging from a purdah (custom in some Muslim and Hindu societies where women sequester themselves to stay out of sight of men) to a woman going to Oxford to become a lawyer and coming back to pioneer the career in Bombay. 
• The vivid description of the environment and the jungle/rural area of Satapur transported Holly in an enjoyable way; Massey described the treacherous journeys back and forth from where Perveen was staying and the palace itself.
• If you enjoy literary mysteries and historical fiction, this series is a must-read. Massey’s books combine the techniques of Agatha Christie and Louise Penny, while following a badass lawyer. 

• The Heart (18:46): Devin discussed Portrait for a Scotsman by Evie Dunmore. In this third book of the League of Extraordinary Women series, Dunmore explores 1880s England and Scotland with two enemies who end up in a forced marriage - Hattie Greenfield and Lucian Blackstone. Her key takeaways were:

• Dunmore touches on similar themes to her past novels in the series, driving home key messages on the patriarchy and the restrictive society in late 19th century England. In this novel, though, she adds an extra socialist layer by examining themes like worker’s rights and socioeconomic inequality.
• If you ship Dramione (Draco Malfoy/Hermione Granger), this is the book for you. The romance and intimacy is explicitly and steamy, and the redemption arc for Lucian as the initial villain is juicy. 
• At times, Hattie comes across as just a bit too privileged and pampered to be sympathetic, whereas Lucian is the true hero of the book and the exploration into his motivations and traumas is the actual cornerstone of the book. 

• Hot On the Shelf (41:04):

• Holly: A Court of Mist and Fury Sarah J Maas
• Devin: Musicophilia by Oliver Sacks

• What’s Making Our Hearts Race (47:46):

• Holly: Love is Blind Japan on Netflix
• Devin: Our Flag Means Death on HBO Max
