Part 2 of Hamlet: in which we finish Hamlet, and the season! We try and do a back and forth reading till Tom gives up, talk about the logistics of punching someone inside a grave, and wonder how things go so absolutely wrong at the end.

Part 1 of Hamlet: in which we establish Tom has no thoughts, and his head is, indeed, empty. We discuss whether getting "the talk" from Polonius is possibly the worst thing ever, if Hamlet's new attitude just adds spice to his relationship, and how soon is too soon to remarry your dead husbands brother.

Part 2 of Mrs. Dalloway: in which Tom is made to feel uncomfortable by proxy of "Clarissa" never liking "Richard's" gifts. We debate who has better relationship energy, the star-crossed lovers or the ride-or-dies and finally find that single, completely unnecessary use of "oriental" (sure it was the 20's but-).

Part 1 of Mrs. Dalloway: in which Tom cements the origin story for the podcast, because one day maybe a WikiArticle will need to know. We talk about settling, reading your partners mind, and whether this whole novel isn’t just the romcom follow up to All’s Quiet on the Western Front.

Part 3 of Emma: in which we get saucy! We talk about Emma fully messing up, rushed romances, and whether glaring age gaps are truly a barrier to love (legally yes, but-). The fun conclusion to our favorite Austen novel!

Part 2 of Emma: in which we fight about misreading signals! We laugh about the hilarious Miss Bates, think more about Emma's high standards, and accuse each other of misreading the messages at the beginning of our own relationship.

Part 1 of Emma: in which we fight about forgetting things. We talk about the (possibly?) sociopathic Mrs. Woodhouse, looking at life like an RPG, and which one of us is truly the most neglectful of our coupling.

Part 2 of Great Gatsby: in which a deluded love story masquerading as grandiose romance comes to an end. We talk about Daisy Buchanan failing to live up to Gatsby's imagination, decide firmly that Gatsby does in fact have many Incel tendencies, and say "cuck" way too many times. The thrilling conclusion to our discussion of The Great Gatsby!

Part 1 of Great Gatsby: in which Sarah gets Nick's name wrong, because who really cares, and Tom gets his Kennedy's mixed up, which is a bit more egregious. We discuss whether or not the Fitzgeralds were actually popular, if third-wheeling Nick can be considered a kink, and wonder if hating someone is actually crucial to loving them.
