Conjoined

Conjoined goes back to its origins as a recap pod, and now it's gone to grad school. Tei and Bees discuss the first episode of Interview with THE Vampire.Topics include queer theorists, Catholicism, parallels with Hannibal, more Catholicism, and the most pressing question of all: what's in vampire pee?--Notes: If you've watched the show, there will be a point where you'll go, "Wait, that's not what happens next!" Don't worry, we double back and make sure the moment gets its due. 

Tei and Bees discuss The Handmaiden, Grace Lavery's Please,  Miss, Elif Batuman's everything, and That Lube Tweet. Strap in, it's going to be slippery. 

DUN DUN. Tei, Hope, and Bees tackle the first episode of the new Law and Order. Should you confess to murder in a police station? How quickly should a prosecutor dispose of their morals when they're losing a case? Will Tei's dad ever stop roasting Bees from across an international border? Stay tuned!NOTES:- Hope's new doll project

In this episode, Tei grills Hope and Bees about ART. What it is, how to make it, what happens when other people see it, and when Shark Mary is going to bring the saviour into the world. 

This week, we talk to Caitlin Starling, author of The Luminous Dead and The Death of Jane Lawrence. We touched on the behind-the-scenes of traditional publishing, differences in writing fanfiction and original fiction, disembowelment as a regular motif in her work, and some pro-tips on keeping your beard fresh and fancy when you've been imprisoned due to the wily machinations of your erstwhile psychiatrist. Please be advised that if you find the sound of a dog panting uncomfortable, bees's dog makes an appearance at 1:11, and the noise lasts for about 30 seconds.

In which bees loses it a little about Hugh Dancy starring on Law and Order, something they made happen with the power of their own mind, tei updates us on the state of the rabbit union, and Hope contemplates the inherent romance of taking a selfie. 

Tei and Bees discuss the movie "Manhunter" (1986) and the depth that sex pests can bring to serial murder. 

Introducing the new pod format, which is also the old pod format, in which Bees joins Tei and Hope to discuss butts, eyeballs, Naruto, Alexander the Great, and the transcendence of Law and Order.
