Modern Retellings

We'll be going on a break for a hot minute, but please enjoy the last half of Heidi for now! In today's episode, we are emotionally caught off guard by Heidi as Christian fic and take plenty of time to explore through the lens of troubled-teen-goatherd-heartthrob, Peter.   Music: Through The Woods by Shane Ivers - https://www.silvermansound.com For this work I used version 3.0.2 of Audacity® recording and editing software.

We take you back to simpler times this week with a suspiciously astute 5-year-old, her canceled grandfather, and a fiercely illiterate shepherd boy. Let Johanna Spyri transport you to the Swiss Alps. And let us tell you why trees are a health hazard.   Music: Through The Woods by Shane Ivers - https://www.silvermansound.com For this work I used version 3.0.2 of Audacity® recording and editing software.

Our judgment of Hollywood A-List actors knows no bounds. Join us for a film review of Baz Luhrmann's The Great Gatsby and (very minimally) the 1974 adaptation, as well. Despite Jane's initial hesitation to see Leo as anyone other than Jack Dawson, we saw something and we're saying something.   Music: Through The Woods by Shane Ivers - https://www.silvermansound.com For this work I used version 3.0.2 of Audacity® recording and editing software.

There's not much more about the novella here, but we had too much fun sharing random holiday traditions in the spirit of A Christmas Carol. Join us for a good laugh, kick back, and reflect on your own potentially quirky holiday rituals!   Music: Through The Woods by Shane Ivers - https://www.silvermansound.com Hip Hop Sleigh Bell medley - Copyright Jason Donnelly www.ipadloops.com For this work I used version 3.0.2 of Audacity® recording and editing software.

Please excuse our sound quality as we learn mic discipline and immerse yourself in the Christmas spirit with Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol. We can't tell you why it's so inaptly named when there's (nearly?) no singing involved, but if you're looking for a time-honored tale of moralism, you've come to the right place.   Music: Through The Woods by Shane Ivers - https://www.silvermansound.com For this work I used version 3.0.2 of Audacity® recording and editing software.

This week, we finish off a chapter by chapter breakdown of The Great Gatsby in all its glorious tragedy and awkwardness. The girls discuss the seven plus deadly sins, Libra obsessions, and the Jazz Age origins of YOLO. *No planes were harmed in the recording of this podcast.     Music: Through The Woods by Shane Ivers - https://www.silvermansound.com For this work I used version 3.0.2 of Audacity® recording and editing software.

We move from Interwar Britain to Prohibition Era U.S. for a wild stalker convention at Jay's OG playboy mansion. Help us decide who Gatsby is more obsessed with: Daisy or himself? *No birds were harmed in the recording of this podcast.   Music: Through The Woods by Shane Ivers - https://www.silvermansound.com For this work I used version 3.0.2 of Audacity® recording and editing software.

Jane and Andi share big energy on the Netflix adaptation of Rebecca.

Today, we put this “deliciously” gothic tale to rest in a watery grave with some unwarranted lessons in self-esteem. This place has everything: cousin love, housekeepers who specialize in gaslighting, potential ghost arson. And look who's at the bar! Is that Pierce Brosnan? No, it's a husband who will murder you in cold blood, but you're totes okay with it cuz you're in love and you don't care who knows it!   Music: Through The Woods by Shane Ivers - https://www.silvermansound.com For this work I used version 3.0.2 of Audacity® recording and editing software.

Prepare yourself for a gothic rollercoaster of what some would call a love story. Although author Daphne du Maurier would argue this is NOT a love story. And just in case you were confused like Andi, it is also NOT a children's book. However you classify it, get ready for all the drama.   Music: Through The Woods by Shane Ivers - https://www.silvermansound.com For this work I used version 3.0.2 of Audacity® recording and editing software.
