Normal About It

We spend a lot of time here talking about the television that we're normal about, but there's another source of media that makes us a little crazy-music! In this bonus episode, we guess at what each other's Spotify Wrapped for the year looked like and psychoanalyze each other based on the artist's and songs that landed in our top 5. We've had so much fun this year sharing all our thoughts and big feelings on our favorite shows and we're so appreciative to you for listening! Thank you!

We can't believe we're already at the finale of Our Flag Means Death Season 2 and SO MUCH happened in 30 minutes for us to properly process. In this episode we talk about the scenes that made us crazy, music motifs, the impact streaming services have on art, and, of course, it wouldn't be a review of ofmd season two without the Con O'Neill Corner :') Thank you so much to everyone who has joined us for all of our thoughts on this season! We hope you stick around for all of the other things that we are totally and completely normal about :D References: Renew As A Crew! Support SAG-AFTRA!

PRODUCTION NOTE: Our name has changed but our levels of delusion and derangement have not! Lit By Moonlight is now Normal About It - where we're anything but! Yeah, this one was a long time coming. It's been a month since the series finale of [redacted] Max's Succession aired and we've finally processed it enough to talk about all that happened throughout its four seasons on the podcast! In fact, we had so much to say that this needed to be split up into two episodes. This is by no means a spoiler free podcast! So if you haven't seen/finished Succession and don't want anything spoiled, go finish it and then come back here when you're done! You won't regret it. Or maybe you will. We don't know what you like (but really who watches Succession and doesn't like it??) In Part One of our Succession break down, we discuss how we got into the show, the pathetic rich people that quickly became our baby girls and failwives, praise the writing team, and discuss which scenes had our jaws on the floor with how shocking they were!

Watch this episode on Youtube! We finally made it, the last two episode of Shadow and Bone Season Two! Now that we've finished the season, it's safe to say we have a Love/Hate relationship with how the story was told. There were so many incredible moments like THE best kanej line making it to screen, a quick Ben Barnes thirst trap, new character story expansions, incredible fight scenes, and goth Zooey Deschanel. But there were also plenty of moments that we weren't the biggest fans of. Like the terrible lighting, the death of THAT character, weird scene directions, huge plot changes from the book, and goth Zooey Deschanel.

In our rewatch of Our Flag Means Death, Episode 4, 'Discomfort in a Married State,' we feel very comfortable telling you that we are in love with the dynamic between Ed and Stede. This episode provides the proper introduction to Blackbeard-aka Edward Teach- and his heart eyes, we feel Stede's guilt for leaving his family but give all of our love to Mary, Izzy remains So Stressed, and we start to feel a certain type of way towards lighthouses!   Links: Thanks to Purple Planet Music for our lovely theme music!

PRODUCTION NOTE: Our name has changed but our levels of delusion and derangement have not! Lit By Moonlightis now Normal About It - where we're anything but! In this week's review of The Last of Us, episode four, "Please Hold to My Hand," we discuss the bond that's growing between Joel and Ellie, songs that we'd play on an apocalyptic road trip, and how we've both fallen victim to the dvcree Pedro Pascal edit and there's no coming back!   extra:  the tiktok you've probably already seen but why not watch again?!  Links: Thanks to Purple Planet Music for our lovely theme music!

PRODUCTION NOTE: Our name has changed but our levels of delusion and derangement have not! Lit By Moonlightis now Normal About It - where we're anything but! Do you think that when The Beach Boys released 'Our Prayer' in 1969 they knew that it would one day be used to signify love at first sight? Yeah, probably not, but we can't stop screaming it either way. Episode three of Our Flag Means Death brought us the memorable introduction of Blackbeard, fabulous booty's, hilarious guest stars, and a plethora of lines we cannot stop quoting. It's safe to say that when we decided to do this rewatch to lead up to season two, we did not account for the gay pirate insanity to increase tenfold but maybe that's on us.   The Damned Man(ny) may or may not make an appearance in this episode teehee ¿❤️‍

PRODUCTION NOTE: Our name has changed but our levels of delusion and derangement have not! Lit By Moonlightis now Normal About It - where we're anything but! How's everyone doing this week? You okay? Have you cried yourself out yet? We sure haven't! Just when we think we have a grip on where this story is going, HBO's The Last of Us pulls the rug right out from under us and laughs as we watch yet another heart-wrenching storyline play out. This week, we discuss the incredible writing and story expansion of Bill and Frank, how hope and fear can coexist, finding your purpose in the darkest of times, and the show's love of introducing us to a character we get attached to only for them to swiftly be taken away from us by the end of the episode. Help! We're also wondering where Nick Offerman and Murray Bartlett's Emmys are and whether or not Ellie would have enjoyed the Great Fish Debacle of 2018!  Extra! Listen to Emberlin's Bill & Frank Playlist to Help Cope with the Heartache “I think, as a species, we have a desire to believe that we're living at the climax of the story. IT's a kind of narcissism. We want to believe that we're uniquely important, that we're living at the end of history, that now, after all these millenia of false alarms, now is finally the worst that it's ever been, that finally we have reached the end of the world... But all of this raises an interesting question... What if it always is the end of the world?”-Emily St. John, The Sea of Tranquility Reviews of The Last of Us drop every Tuesday!

PRODUCTION NOTE: Our name has changed but our levels of delusion and derangement have not! Lit By Moonlightis now Normal About It - where we're anything but! We're continuing our rewatch of Our Flag Means Death with our review of Episode 2, 'A Damned Man.' This week, things get a little heated when we discuss things like friendship, golden retrievers and #stiddies! This episode shows its comedic chops with lines that refuse to leave our heads, has a background character that may have more to him than we think, and gives us a liiiitle inkling to where the show may be headed. Whether we saw any of it coming is still up for debate.   Will the Damned Man ever make his appearance? Stay tuned to find out!  Links: Thanks to Purple Planet Music for our lovely theme music!

PRODUCTION NOTE: Our name has changed but our levels of delusion and derangement have not! Lit By Moonlight is now Normal About It - where we're anything but! Welcome to Season 2 of Lit by Moonlight! This year we're making space on our bookshelf for more content like television show reviews. To kick it off we're reviewing the new HBO show, The Last of Us. One of us has played the game, the other only has vague memories from a powerpoint presentation on said game, both of us cried multiple times while watching the series premiere. In this episode, we talk about how well we think the show adapts the video game, our favorite moments, stand out performances and how absolutely devastating these next few Sundays are going to be for us! If you haven't played the game you will NOT be spoiled here! Reviews of The Last of Us will occur every Tuesday! Stay tuned for the Our Flag Means Death reviews coming every Thursday!

PRODUCTION NOTE: Our name has changed but our levels of delusion and derangement have not! Lit By Moonlight is now Normal About It - where we're anything but! In our final book review of the year, we lose the ability to form coherent thoughts and it is all Hafsah Faizal's fault! In our review of We Free the Stars, we discuss incredible character dynamics, beautiful world building, quotes that really cut to our core, even Emberlin's cat Manny has things to say about this book-it tore him apart! Have you ever seen an episode of Peanuts? Yeah you, reading this, you ever see it? Ya know how when one of the characters is in distress, say, Charlie Brown just to name a guy, and he just kinda...throws his head back and yells but all you can see of his face is his big open mouth yelling? That's kinda how we feel about this book. Only that our distress is caused by the pain of not being able to fully articulate how much we love this book and not because some girl took a football away before we could kick it.  We've had a wonderful first year of podcasting and we couldn't thank you all enough for tuning in this year! We have SO MUCH in store for you in 2023. like, a lot. Our motto for the new year is 'chaotic 2023' and we'd love to take you along for the ride :) In the meantime, make sure to follow us on instagram, tumblr, or twitter to stay up to date on all that's to come!

PRODUCTION NOTE: Our name has changed but our levels of delusion and derangement have not! Lit By Moonlight is now Normal About It - where we're anything but! This week we're stepping back into the Remnant Chronicles universe with Mary E. Pearson's post-trilogy sequel, Vow of Thieves! As two people who still haven't read The Remnant Chronicles trilogy (it's on our TBR we swear) we thoroughly enjoyed this book! One of us even starts full on crying in this episode while talking about it. It's just a beautiful story, okay!!!! Also in this episode, we talk about the strong protagonists that are Kazi and Jase, the Ballenger family members that are on our shit list, Jase restoring our faith in male main characters, and the absolute best trope to ever exist in literature. Kaitlin gets so excited about this trope she knocks her mic over, and now that she's typing this description, she's wondering if maybe that's why it stopped working properly halfway through which then caused some additional editing...who's to say!  THIS IS NOT A SPOILER FREE PODCAST References: Fictitious Podcast Interview with Mary E.
