Episode 95: Anohana: The Flower We Saw that Day (And Maybe Every Day...)

Episode 94: The Midnight Gospel Part 2 - Looking at the Source Material
Adaptations are... Well, we want them to be an art form, but they also promise to be profitable considering there's already a cultivated batch of consumes. But that doesn't mean they can't be done right. M considers the subject. After having to revamp her script because of an announcement...…

Episode 92: Lilo and Stitch (And Another Part of Family)
Is sub-podcasting a thing? Anyway, after trashing a script about something that won't be named, M is getting around to addressing that one hot take that filled Twitter for far too long (because any time was too long). Topic for Today's Episode: Lilo and Stitch Be sure to check out our other…

Episode 91: A Song of Wraiths and Ruin (And Once Forgotten Books)
Some mail delays put off this episode, but woo boy, the book was worth the wait for M! This episode not so much... But anyway, today, M wants to talk about an important kind of book. She calls it "The Gateway Book," as an adapted term from one of her English teachers. Can a book be so good that…

Episode 88 - The Faceless Old Woman Who Not So Secretly Lives in My Head
A novel about your favorite podcast character can be great until it asks you somewhat uncomfortable questions.... M's talked about the first two Night Vale novels though. Why let global circumstances stop her from talking about the third when a bookstore was able to come through and get her the...

Episode 84: BoJack Horseman
It seems at best absurd and at worst insensitive to post a eulogy in times like this, even if my Dad died 13 years ago, but I think in times like this, we may try to make peace with the way people change before our eyes or the gaps that we are suddenly aware of. BoJack Horseman is one of my...
