Unwise Girls

Nightwing (2016) #78-118 + a few others Wham! Bam! Kapow! This week on Unwise Girls, we've donned our masks, capes, and skintight bodysuits in order to discuss Tom Taylor and Bruno Redondo et al.'s acclaimed run on Nightwing.

Listen to us discuss our preferred configuration of Bat-relationships, epic doggos and therapyspeak, nature-versus-nurture-but-specifically-when-it-comes-to-dudes-who-willingly-call-themselves-Heartless, and much more!

A Memory Called Empire by Arkady Martine Another journey of unwise girls Planned, sketched, set out into the forest Of platformed pines that drop pods as spring continues. What, then? What path do we clear for empire? How lives interpretation in the legacy of footfall? And for how long will the winter ice's final vestige remain? Eventually, it ceases to matter - Our audio quality too will shatter. Come back next week for Tom Taylor's run on Nightwing! Check out our Patreon!

Us! Jane and Jacqueline! It feels just like yesterday that we were talking about a Rick Riordan book and celebrating our 100th episode. Now, we're not talking about a Rick Riordan book and not celebrating our 100th episode! Things change so quickly! This week, we decided to bravely not discuss an interesting media property and instead share a little - and I do mean a little - about ourselves. Ever curious what inspired us to make Unwise Girls? What we do in our free time? Social security number? Our favorite pizza toppings? Other podcasts we enjoy? Never-recorded podcast ideas? Well, listen on, and thank you so much for supporting us this whole way. Come back next week for A Memory Called Empire! Check out our Patreon!

Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead (1990 film) This week on Unwise Girls, we begin our Spring Tolerance Break with a story that's completely different than anything we've done before! This time, we check out a hit work by an author who's taking mythical stories of the past and reinterpreting them through a more modern lens in order to speak to the questions of the day and - ah, fuck, we fucked it up immediately didn't we.

The Tyrant's Tomb, ch. 38 to 43 This week on Unwise Girls, we say welcome back to one good heckin' praetorino ... and say goodbye to The Tyrant's Tomb! There's no getting past it: this book was a bit rough for us. But how did we really come out the other end feeling?

The Tyrant's Tomb, ch. 32 to 37 This week on Unwise Girls, we say goodbye to a beloved character and give their death all of its due seriousness. One good heckin praetorino, am I right? We also discuss inappropriate chapter titles, debate over Lavinia, grumble about the mist, roll our ankles and snip our fingers, despise the MCU, compliment fight scenes, tread into that cloaca, and consider alternatives.

The Tyrant's Tomb, ch. 26 to 31 This week on Unwise Girls, we ask the question: how can you go from A to Z when you're already starting at X? That's right, folks, it's yet another week where we're starting to question the basic execution of this series' premise! But we also talk about funny adult babies, the best things to do on your phone, our weirdly high amount of remaining feelings about the Kane siblings, oestradiol jar moment, real traffic nightmares, and separating character lessons by age bracket.

The Tyrant's Tomb, ch. 20 to 25 This week on Unwise Girls, we're touching plenty of grass and breathing in the seeds of our discontent and whatever else Shakespeare said. We discuss a delicious amount of Riordan Content:tm:, including our conflicting opinions on where Lavinia is headed as a character, Reyna doing the world's most obvious pining, an itemized list of ways that Camp Jupiter could make for an interesting setting, what Rick is and isn't willing to broach politically, family being the ultimate end goal of all things, probably the greatest love confession in the series yet, and the unfortunate necessities of a story about Returning.

The Tyrant's Tomb, ch. 14 to 19 This week on Angry Girls, we get real grumpy and pissed off. We talk all about STUFF WE NOTICED that we think SUCKS!!! Like, you ever think about how a lot of these books in the same children's franchise have a lot of similarities? Or how a lot of these characters are kinda surface level?? And there's not like, blood and guts and stuff all the time??? Ugh!!!!!!!! Whatever... >8 Come back next week for The Tyrant's Tomb, ch. 20 to 25! Check out our Patreon!

The Tyrant's Tomb, ch. 8 to 13 This week on Unwise Girls... eh? Who are you? Sorry, but I don't remember petty things like names or faces... it's all about vibes for me. This week, the vibe is pretty frickin' positive on the book - partially because we've been reading even better books at the same time. We discuss cyclops flesh, lesbian stereotypes, shitty kids who you just gotta love, predatory god maneuvers, LARPing, and how three people can have a strong sort of relationship and how that can have some sort of name that nobody is exactly sure of.

The Tyrant's Tomb, ch. 1 to 7 Crack open a cold one, girlies, it's time for the penultimate book in Apollo's The Trials of! This week we're starting off our discussion of the novel with one long, continuous corpse party, several pushbacks on pushbacks, some reevaluating of Hazel Levesque and Frank Zhang, the world's most disastrous romance to look forward to, Titus Andronicus foreshadowing, Meg's trauma (this time a different bit of it) (but also some of the old stuff too), total decimation, and a puny but powerful cover corner.

The Burning Maze, ch. 42 to 47 This week on Unwise Girls, The Burning Maze dies and we're finally allowed to grieve. We discuss what Rick is doing with mortality and how Jason's death - and the more we hope to come - are actually making it mean something, what this convoluted acrostic is telling us about future books, wildfires continuing to stretch the timeline, darksided Piper, science-fiction and takeout for some reason, and some big news about big TV show "Percy Jackson"'s biggest season yet.

The Burning Maze, ch. 36 to 41 This week on Unwise Girls, we keep it short and sweet as we... uh... seven letters, starts with D.... you get it, right? We're stuck in a word vortex! Puzzles abound as we talk about that god who is known for music, poetry, and charioteering the sun and his goofy little adventures with Rogrev and Gem. Ah, this is all a bit difficult to get across. Did you know sometimes, when a guy dies, you feel real sad for a while? Shit sucks. Plus, monsters! Cool Dryads! And getting too emotional to understand facts and logic!

The Burning Maze, ch. 29 to 35 This week on Unwise Girls, we discuss... huh. Well, who could have seen that one coming? We talk about pretty much one thing in this episode, y'all, and it's one of the best choices Rick has made in writing these books in a long time. For maybe the first time, Apollo has to deal with consequences as the promise of an ever-so-slightly more mature and harrowing tale is delivered on, and we're left clapping and laughing and cheering. Could it be that Apollo's Trials have only just begun - three fourths of the way through the third book in the series? We're optimistic! Come back next week for The Burning Maze, ch. 36 to 41!

The Burning Maze, ch. 22 to 28 This week on Unwise Girls, oops! Maybe we spoke too soon on finally liking the book. We discuss Jane's quirky neuroses, the weak mysteries of love and the heart, broing out, waiting for that damn Styx curse, total Leo memoryholes, Apollo's strange taste in partners across history, Black Dynamite, Rick's heavy reliance on obscure music references to support character arcs, the Marvel movie that Rick was absolutely influenced by, monsters that matter (and monsters that don't), fish opinions, the crossover we want to see more than anything, and nature's little surprises.

(cw: discussion of domestic violence and racism) the bonus show is back! and this time, we've decided to cover a piece of media that isn't about the bleak worlds left in the wake of the miserable failure of leftist revolutionary movements, which is ironic because this is also the only thing we've covered with "revolution" in the name. it's Revolutionary Girl Utena! join us as we discuss this hugely influential show's impact on animation, some banging music and a thick, dreamlike atmosphere, and also some of the worst and weirdest creepy anime boys every committed to the screen! our theme is "Open Galaxy" by Sir_NutS on OCRemix! https://ocremix.org/remix/OCR03963 This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

The Burning Maze, ch. 15 to 21 This week on Unwise Girls, we're putting the past behind us as we finally decide we like one of these books! We discuss a really good fight, unstable emperors ready to tear each others throats out, villains made entirely via flashback, mad dog shit, the finer points of mecha fiction, Rick's insecurity about possibly doing a racism, whether trying is better than not trying at all, deflated Moneymakers, sick ass flames, Andy Weird, man cruses, and shooting on your ex's mom.

The Burning Maze, ch. 8 to 14 This week on Unwise Girls, we've been released from our cryostasis chambers to return to a world of... uh... raging wildfires. Hm. Well, this week, we'll discuss Rick Riordan's so-far tasteless and toothless incorporation of real life tragedy into the works of his fictional magic men, a satisfying turn in Piper and Jason relationships as our faaavorite...? Heroes of Olympus pair returns, guys who only exist when they can be on the page being pathetic and dysphoric, racism existing and not existing simultaneously, and a little blog post about a bunch of Riordan characters' New Years resolutions.

The Burning Maze, ch. 1 to 7 No. I refuse to share this episode of my podcast. It was the lowest, most awful content in my nearly-four-years of podcasting. Disaster. Heartbreak. I will not let you listen to it. ... Hey, why are you still here? Go away! But alas, I suppose I have no choice. Doubtless, Moonshot expects us to tell you the story of Apollo's punishment. It's not enough that we had to discuss our opinions on social media and military surplus stores. It's not enough that we had to talk about Grover's character burning brighter than ever in the wake of real life climate disaster. It's not even enough that I had to censor like half of our conversation about the intimate details of how satyrs and cloud nymphs make babies. On top of all that, I was forced to write this description in the form of this book's opening. Come back next week for The Burning Maze, ch. 8 to 14! Check out our Patreon!

The Dark Prophecy, ch. 38 to 42 We've done it! After what felt like years (despite being, like, basically the amount of time we spend on any book) we've completed The Dark Prophecy! How'd we like it? Let's see! This week on Unwise Girls we discuss the power of seething hatred, writing to the formula, one of the sicker uses so far of Apollo's temporary god magic, sonnets embodied and historical, Python pondering, and the surprise book we're expecting Rick to be drawing from for The Burning Maze.

The Dark Prophecy, ch. 32 to 37 The Unwise Girls have scratched and clawed their way back from the hellish depths of illness and pain for one reason and one reason only: to continue reading a sort of mediocre book. Woe to ye who listen! as we discuss the strange diffusion of conservationism across the pantheon and beyond, putting yourself in the way of redemption, women as mothers and dads as nothing, how child abuse can be made invisible, surprise bees, a pretty lacking supporting cast, TV show writing, and the surprising new direction of Peaches' teaches - in short, be gay and do murder.

The Dark Prophecy, ch. 26 to 31 This week on Unwise Girls we discuss fanciful circus ringmasters and Rick's affinity for them, the continuation of the Jimmy/Jamie naming saga, Lityerses' rushed restoration and how it might rhyme with our main character, Thalia and Apollo's super super weird history, #resist, bandying about the idea of enslavement pretty wildly, and Meg's special aurasight.

The Dark Prophecy, ch. 22 to 25 This week on Unwise Girls we talk about when Rick Riordan does and doesn't use characters' powers to underscore their arcs, when monsters become people, Jimmy and Jamie, a series of increasingly unfunny bits in prison, the immense gulf between Leo and Apollo, vindication for one of Jane's old theories, and Apollo's shaky ability to trust while he's vulnerable.

The Dark Prophecy, ch. 18 to 21 This week on Unwise Girls we talk about the circumstances when it's okay to make fun of someone's trauma, the continued adventures of gender dysphoric Apollo, dead boyfriend guilt, Narcissus and historical recontextualization, how power desensitizes you to the people around you, how the immortal anchor their sense of self to relationships with specific individuals, the mysterious third emperor, generic sea serpents, and the all-powerful Law of Percy Jackson.

The Dark Prophecy ch. 14 to 17 This week on Unwise Girls we discuss when a change in characterization is necessary and when it can cut the impact of an arc off at the pass, the return of our new favorite dynamic, good ol' boys and country folk, the situational danger of swordfighters, and the impossibility of centering the Camp Half-Blood Chronicles in the real world while refusing to grapple with history as something that changes through material conditions and contradictions.

The Dark Prophecy ch. 6 to 9 He finally did it, everyone. This week on Unwise Girls, Rick Riordan has confirmed that lesbians aren't real. May god have mercy on our souls as we discuss the logistics of pantheon absorption, true-to-life relationship struggles, the return of Voldemorting, Jojo for some reason, and... oh, look, he left a few lesbians in the Waystation!

Nectar of the Pods hits triple digits, and we dig into the second book in Rick Riordan's Tres Navarre detective series! we dig into yet more of the surprising amount of DNA these gritty PI novels share with Rick's kid-friendly fantasy books, some absolutely insane depictions of women, the usual low-level hum of Riordan brand racism, and a whole lot more! that's all pretty intense though, so why don't we unwind a little first? settle in for a bedtime story... >:3 our theme is "Open Galaxy" by Sir_NutS on OCRemix! https://ocremix.org/remix/OCR03963

The Hidden Oracle, ch. 35 to 39 This week on Unwise Girls, we close out The Hidden Oracle by talking about uncapitalized-on moments of angst, actually thematically relevant climaxes, MMO poison aura, an unexpectedly horny crossover, the surprising return of an old theory of Jane's, Rick's pachinko fixation, good people, carefully eliding relationship cleanup, the happy return of Hunkmuffin and company, and how we rate this overall in the grand scheme of Riordan's work.

The Hidden Oracle, ch. 31 to 34 This week on Unwise Girls, we talk about how great it can feel to quit a job - oh, and also about the book, of course. We discuss increasingly halfhearted poetry, god-tier deflection, Zeus's most apt rhyme, the different ways trauma can manifest itself, Woody Guthrie as a perfect vector for Rick's politics, the power of limericks, and a quick and dirty stop in the prophecy prediction corner.

The Hidden Oracle, ch. 27 to 30 This week on Unwise Girls, we're finally having a proper introduction to our big villain for the series (or at least the next few books) - and he's actually really fucked up!! We talk about how Rick more and less successfully sets up Monsieur Beast, U.S. endgoals, the clear view across Apollo's arc, the legitimacy of the gods, self-serving sorrow, and how abuse can warp a child's worldview.

The Hidden Oracle, ch. 23 to 26 This week on Unwise Girls: After exploring the mystery of the Great Riordan Website Wipe, we continue on through the Hidden Oracle and talk about ambiguously originated ants, extensive plagiarism, hippie punching, re-litigating the heart of the west, an update on Joan of Arc, calling into question the legitimacy of the gods, twilight lives, and the ungodly trio of willpower, drive, and urgency Come back next week for The Hidden Oracle, ch. 27 to 30!

The Hidden Oracle, ch. 19 to 22 This week on Unwise Girls we talk about the animal world turning against Jane, slowing the pace down, missed opportunities for some great black comedy, the death of The Sun King, superhero origin stories and our fan-casting, retcons that work more or less smoothly, some real uncomfortable implications about Rachel Elizabeth Dare's relationship with Apollo, traitor theories, and House Harpies.

The Hidden Oracle, ch. 15 to 18 This week on Unwise Girls we talk about a genuine day in the life at Camp Half-Blood, the promise of five straight bangers, murder mystery stylings, how angry we are about Rick writing out our favorite character, swerving deep into the River Styx very suddenly, birth dads, the religion of science, 4000 year old failboys, and how you can play with mythical notoriety.

The Hidden Oracle, ch. 11 to 14 After a little bit of show-and-tell, this week of Unwise Girls kicks off with us finally getting into groove with The Hidden Oracle. We talk about coping with your teenage dad, ally-coding, the isolation you experience when you're alone with people you don't share a language with and also they cut your arms off, the where-they-are-now for the Heroes of Olympus, more problematizing of the Greek/Roman binary, Chiron being a sad guy, and prophecizing The End of History.

The Hidden Oracle, ch. 7 to 10 This time, welcome back to Camp Half-Blood for real! We're here with Apollo, Meg, and all our favorite friends. Now, let's gather around the campfire, drink our bug juice, and take this week on Unwise Girls to discuss the potential for redemption in the works of Rick Riordan, timeline slip-ups, Apollo suffering so that Magnus may thrive, the dwindling population of Camp Half-Blood, connections to Caligula, and transcending the Greek/Roman binary.

The Hidden Oracle, ch. 1 to 6 Welcome back, Camp Half-Blood! Well, okay, not quite yet, but... welcome back to the Greek myth world of Rick Riordan! This week on Unwise Girls, we've started into a whole new adventure... with a whole new protagonist! That's right, we're in the Apollo Zone... er, the Lester Zone? The Meg Zone?? It's unclear! But we've finally got a really genuine attempt at a new and unique point-of-view voice from Riordan, the world's most authentic look at the New York City experience, increasingly extreme time dilation, silly Greek names, what happens when you fit a god into a nerdy teenage shell, and the mystery of Meg McCaffrey.

Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard retrospective It's funny, isn't it? For a book series we enjoyed so much to close on such a bittersweet note. From high beginnings to tragically low endings, Magnus Chase was a hell of a ride... so let's talk about it! We give out awards to our favorite (and least favorite) bits of the series, discuss how our predictions for the series panned up (and re-up the ones we made for Trials of Apollo), rank the books (it isn't hard!), and really let all of our pent up feelings out!

The Ship of the Dead, ch. 43 to 48 This week on Unwise Girls, Magnus Chase comes to a close(?) as we finish the last(?) book in the series and discuss why it's actually bad that Magnus likes his friends, why we're mad at him for building a shelter, unfiltered levels of Seething About The Election as have rarely been seen in a Riordan book previous, repeating the mistakes of The Heroes of Olympus, forgoing character development in favor of the surface level, toothless Asgardians, gay chicken, and also actual gay kissing.

The Ship of the Dead, ch. 37 to 42 This week on Unwise Girls, we start off strong with a lot of enthusia - wait, Jane, no, take your hand off the steering wheel! You're driving us straight off a cliff!! Instead of mindless gushing, we have to face questions about if Magnus's character really holds up in time for the climax, Avatar finale problems, purposefully dorky description, the state of Halfborn's virginity, mythical castles and the boring giants that live in them, the God crystal, a new age of Algnus, a couple of good bits, and what found family ACTUALLY gets you.

The Ship of the Dead, ch. 31 to 36 This week on Unwise Girls, the brainworms that drive us toward toxic yuri have infected us; unfortunately, they also make us go on incredibly long tangents about characters we wish were in the book instead of the hallmates. We also discuss breaking Irish stereotypes, whittling characters down to the most base possible gender archetypes, moms who know best, the sweet spot of Jack's comedy, Riordan stepping once more into writing about slavery weirdly, and what might lie inside his secret hard drive.

The Ship of the Dead, ch. 25 to 30 This week on Unwise Girls we talk about the unfortunately platonic-seeming relationship between Hearthstone and Blitzen, the confusing trajectory of gay(?) anti-Irish(?) misogynist (that one's not in question) Halfborn Gunderson, pawns of prophecy, the best things to do while pissing, the emotion of inheritance, and the apparently inherent evil of helping people for the wrong reasons.

The Ship of the Dead, ch. 19 to 24 This week on Unwise Girls we talk about Jane's big travel mistake, a pretty dead-on depiction of York, the psychology of TJ, the troubles with assuming someone's gender, also just The Troubles, triage, Seinfeld, things you probably can't actually blame on Loki, Riordan's signature childhood animal trauma, and highly conspicuous Tolkien references.

The Ship of the Dead, ch. 13 to 18 Remember feet? We used to laugh about feet. Nowadays, when feet come up, all we can do is sigh and shake our heads. This week on Unwise Girls we talk about how Jane has sold out, Loki's greatest trick yet, gawping at toes, what place honor and goodness have in worldbuilding, workplace psychopathy, Alex's favorite anime, internalized anti-Irish prejudice, expanding your worldviews, and transphobicparents.mp4.

The Ship of the Dead, ch. 7 to 12 This week on Unwise Girls we pull into the very first stretch of our final adventure and discuss the very first Orange Man Bad moment of Rick's writing career, comforting yourself with structure, pots of mead and/or honey, unfunny hipsters, green-haired Flanderization, TFW, effective safeguards against alcoholism, and super sexy foot stuff.

The Ship of the Dead, ch. 1 to 6 If you haven't trimmed your toenails yet, this book may yet be your reminder. We've entered the final book of Magnus Chase! This week we discuss our general enthusiasm which is partially propelled by a perfunctory and performative but still pretty pleasant Percy appearance, a trip into Randolph's dirty laundry, the hallmates finally (maybe?) getting to become characters, Jane's life converging with the book, cisphobia, the disappearance of the valkyries, and a return of our least favorite Cover Corner special feature: Oops, There's Whitewashing!

The Hammer of Thor, ch. 51 to 57 (cw for mentions of suicide throughout the episode) And so we've reached the end of The Hammer of Thor! It's been a journey of high highs and medium lows, so how does the book end up in our estimation? This week we talk about the incredible power of pandering, Riordan's patented Big Action Set Piece formula, the different suicide missions our characters have ended up on, the decreased relevance of homelessness to the overall story and its themes, an actually awesome new god, awkwardsauce, and the genuine surprise and excitement we're feeling as we look forward to the next book while also looking ahead to the series that ran simultaneous to this - The Trials of Apollo! How will all of this come together in the final book of Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard? If you'd like to find out with us, just make sure that you...
