This week, we’re throwing on our flapper dresses and crashing the most extravagant party in literature—because it’s time to talk The Great Gatsby! Whether you fell for F. Scott Fitzgerald’s poetic prose or were dazzled by the glittering visuals of Baz Luhrmann’s 2013 film, we’re diving deep into all the glitz, heartbreak, and green-light symbolism this classic has to offer.We’ll break down Gatsby’s tragic obsession, Nick’s unreliable narration, and Daisy’s debatably chaotic energy—plus compare the novel to the movie, from the roaring soundtrack to that swoony Leo DiCaprio introduction. 💁‍♂️So grab a glass of champagne, stare longingly across the bay, and join us for an episode that’s part literary analysis, part emotional spiral, and all golden-age drama. Because in the end… we’re all just chasing our own green lights. 💚🌙📖(Spoiler alert: Gatsby deserved better.)
