We're taking a trip back in time this episode to do a deep dive on the classic fairy tale retelling, Ever After: A Cinderella Story. We consider what makes something a Cinderella story and how Ever After maps onto those criteria; our reactions to the main romance; and the tour de force performance that is Angelica Huston as the Baroness Rodmilla de Ghent.

We recorded a thicc episode for you this month with our special guest Sarah, one of the hosts of the podcast Afternoona Asks! Together, we get into the nitty-gritty of red flag and green flag characters and cover a lot of ground: from what makes a red flag red and a green flag green, to the surprising gender dynamics of “flagging” characters at all.Along the way, we mention a lot of our favorite love interests, including Baek Seon of When the Phone Rings, Mr. Gu of My Liberation Notes, Captain Ri of gateway KDrama Crash Landing on You, and many, many more.

Joined once again by our younger siblings, Erin and Akinde, we dive right into Sarah J Maas's A Court of Thorns and Roses and A Court of Mist and Fury spoilers in part two of our discussion. To kick things off, we start with our complicated feelings on main character Feyre. We also ask the hard hitting questions, like: are these sex scenes sexy? Why is there so much growling? And what would actually happen if the wings of the Illyrians were really that sensitive? As a heads up for people who adore these books: we're not here to kill your vibe! Still, while we do appreciate a lot of what Maas is doing, as well as her wider influence on pop culture, we do have some bones to pick. Also, we drop a few spoilers for some of the later books, so if you care about spoilers for books 3, 4 or 5, please be forewarned! Sorry for the delay on this one, folks! January was a month...but we left a treat for you at the end of this episode to make up for it.

You've asked, you've waited, and now, we're finally delivering! Welcome to our two-part deep dive on the international best selling Romantasy novels A Court of Thorns and Roses and a Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J Maas. In this first, spoiler free episode, we touch on our initial reactions to the series, and think a bit about what romantasy is and why it's so appealing to so many readers. Plus, we're joined by some very special guests for these two episodes: our younger siblings! They may claim to have been manipulated into coming on the show, but we're glad to have them both on for this discussion
In case you haven't noticed, there's a lot going on *gestures everywhere*, so rather than get into anything too tragic, as we're wont to do, we've instead gathered some Comfort Media for Interesting Times (™)–that is, the pop culture we turn to when things are rough and we're in need of a boost to help us make it through. This episode, in the style of our Pop-Culture Round Ups, we trade off sharing cozy books, music, and TV shows that bolster our spirits and help us feel warm inside.

Sorry for the delay on this episode folks - October and November have been a lot. But, without further ado, here's Last Night at the Telegraph Club, episode two! Joined once again by Dr. Kai Chen, we dive right into Last Night at the Telegraph Club spoilers, starting with our feelings on Kath and Lily's relationship and the high-key stress of classroom makeouts. From there, we consider the queer space of the Telegraph Club, Lily's complicated and not always likable bestie Shirley, and our thoughts on the admittedly fraught ending.

The challenges of Fall fishing Tonight's show run down Fishing Reports 15m Hatcher Bros Erin (@femboyfishing) and Michael (@srien_string_and_stream) are catching smallies and trout and the occasional walleye in the Ozarks Steve NcAngler says trout season is over in The White Mountains but one can still dredge up some nice browns in the catch and release section of the Androscoggin. He's catching bass these days on Sneaky Pete's (topwater bullet head popper with a flared skirt and trailing sili strands) and for subsurface he likes Dragon Tails (a tail material called sili worm behind a built up head, originally cut down “Squirmy” toys) The Driftless-some streams closed for the Fall spawn but plenty of creeks are open to catch and release and the tourists have gone home. Fishing is solitary and they're smashing the terrestrials, some drys and streamers. https://news.orvis.com/fly-fishing/seasons-of-the-driftless-area Joe Henry Fishing at Lake of the Woods is on fire!!! 6m FITN 10min John Gierach passed from a heart attack October 3rd 2024 Apache Trout Success: https://www.doi.gov/pressreleases/secretary-haaland-announces-removal-apache-trout-arizonas-state-fish-endangered Maine Bans Painted Heads: https://www.newscentermaine.com/article/life/animals/wildlife/new-law-expands-maines-lead-fishing-tackle-ban-protect-loons/97-61c87bb3-687c-4610-839a-2ce5eb8fb7fa Laura Williams Maine Audubon Society 30 min Show pt. 2 Halloween Scary Fish: 15-20 min Zombie Salmon-Yes they are catchable, some fight some do not, the scariest thing i have ever felt sorry for short of Frankenstien.

It has never been confirmed. In 1997 one was removed from a man's urethra but the circumstances were “suspect” which is a story just made for Fish Nerds. Stonefish-this one scared the heck out of me when I was a little kid. The most venomous fish of all. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synanceia https://www.surfertoday.com/environment/how-to-treat-a-stonefish-sting other entries: The Kraken Angler Fish Goblin Shark My FAVORITE from Steve NcAngler is “the fish you hooked but never saw.” It could have been anything! Listener spooky stories and other fisher freak outs: 15-20min 62% of respondents have had a weird or spooky incident on the water. 25% said it started scary but turned out to be something ordinary CH and the turtle Chris Snodgrass My Wife and I were trolling for Kokanee Salmon. It was just before dark and we had the only boat on the water. It's a small reservoir in Montana. The water was like glass it was so calm. As we got out to the middle the water swirled next to the boat like a whale turned next to us. The swirl was as big or bigger than our boat. It was extremely creepy so we headed to the dock! Still not sure what the swirl was caused by but maybe an under water spring... It was in 50' of water though. Alan Dumitrescu I'm the only person at this lake. You know the sound of a rod wishing through the air on a hard cast? Yeah that sounds happened in the wooded area behind me just once like a cast. Only similar sounds I've ever heard is bigger birds wings. I looked no birds anywhere no turkeys roosting in trees for the night. The sun was setting at this point. I didn't see anything but it was real close. My only other thought cause a bunch of neighboring property dogs were all fired up a few minutes earlier and they had settled down just before I heard it. Never heard bobcat hiss in person but at that point since they are in that area is all I could think and why the dogs were fired up. So I hurried the hell out of there. I'm not tangling with big kitty if that's what it was. John J Murphy Well I grew up in Salem Ma and used to fish a cemetery pond so I'd go with yes Phantom Casters From Rick Webster I was fishing the first beach at Sandy Hook in Jersey one late September. When I got to the parking lot and not another car in sight. I set up, soaking clams on two rods before sun-up. As the pre-dawn light began to show over the horizon, a THICK bank of fog rolled in. Slack tide and zero wind…very peaceful but not expecting anything spectacular. Suddenly, about 500 seagulls that had been resting on the roof of the bath house lifted into the air and began to dive nosily into the surf. The fog was so thick I couldn't see them, but I could hear them, not 20 yards off the beach. Figuring a blitz of snappers, I sent a 3-ounce Yo-Zuri popper into the fog and immediately came tight on what turned out to be a 12lb Albie. As I was fighting this fish, the fog began to lift and I could see I was surrounded by 25 to 30 other surfcasters. I had no clue how they suddenly appeared as this stretch of beach is wide open, so I would have seen them before the fog came in. No one spoke and the only sounds were screaming gulls and drags as we all enjoyed a rare mix of blues and albies for the next 30 minutes in a classic fall blitz. As the action died down, the fog rolled in again and I appeared to be all alone again. Since I was tired and a little spooked by the mornings events, I packed up my gear and headed back to the parking lot. Just like when I arrived, mine was the only car there. I have no idea where the other fishermen came from or how they disappeared and to this day, I'm not entirely convinced they were actually there. https://onthewater.com/spooky-fishing-stories Aliens prefer fishers: Pascagoula UFO Abduction https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pascagoula_Abduction See Entry 12: https://skepticalinquirer.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2019/03/SI-MJ-12.pdf Charles Hickson 42 Calvin Parker 19 Went fishing on the Pascagoula River Mississippi October 11th 1973 On the evening of October 11, 1973, 42-year old Charles Hickson and 19-year-old Calvin Parker went fishing on the west bank of the Pascagoula River. As dusk fell, they heard a whirring/whizzing sound and saw flashes of blue light on the water. They looked up to see an oval-shaped object approximately 30-40 feet across and 8-10 feet high. Three creatures came gliding out of the craft and took them aboard. Completely paralyzed but still conscious, the two men were subjected to a medical exam by a giant robotic eye. They were then returned to shore, and the craft sped away into the night sky. Both changed their stories over time. Parker said he passed out but later claimed to remember certain details. Hickson kept altering his story. The original polygraph on Hickson was given by an untrained operator as part of a commercial deal and there is speculation that it never really took place. Drinking was believed to be part of the incident. Hypnagogic dream paroxysmal sleep-related disorder incubus syndrome both fall in the category of parasominias Still one of the best UFO stories out there. There is a commemorative plaque marking the spot on the Pascagoula River where the incident took place Should have been fishing Thank Yous: Wally Pleasant for our show theme, Diana's Bath Salts for our Fish in the News theme, Dan Henig for his nice little tune Savannah Sunshine which we used on our chat with Laura Williams, Laren Duski for her instrumental Rollin' which we used to on the Lake of the Woods fishing report, Joe Henry for bringing us that report, Steve NcAngler and the Hatcher Brothers for their fishing reports, Laura Williams for being a lead free fishing ally, Chris Snograss, Alan Dumitrescue and John Murphy for their spooky fishing tales, Rick Webster for his legion of spirit surf casters story but especially you the listener for bringing your ears right on in here and letting us fill them up with fish stuff.

Members of the ton rejoice! Both halves of Bridgerton, season three have finally dropped. We had so many thoughts about this latest installment of the regency romance series that–just like Netflix–we split our conversation in two. In this first episode, we consider the season as a whole, break down Pen and Colin's long awaited transition from friends to lovers, and start to craft "Bridgerton, Season Three: the Corinne and Ayanni Cut." The second part of our conversation drops on Saturday, June 29th.

Time for the third installment of our divorce comedy mini-series! While we didn't initially plan to include this show, we're talking about the recently concluded Korean drama Queen of Tears. We consider whether or not the show is actually a divorce comedy at all, how it deploys divorce in the development of the main relationship, and what about this second chance romance really resonates. We also touch on some of the other things that did–and didn't–work for us in the drama as a whole. Content warning: Because of the nature of the show we're discussing, there are mentions of fictional s*icide at 9:50, 11:41, and 40:44; discussion of a fictional miscarriage starting at 43:20; and discussion of fictional terminal illness throughout.

"See, on the road to Hell there was a railroad line..." It's time for a deep dive into the Broadway musical, Hadestown. We get into how the musical adapts the Grek myths of Orpheus and Eurydice & Hades and Persephone for a modern setting; the love stories–and tragedy–of the two core relationships; and the productive ambiguity of seeing it all happen on stage.

The first episode of The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live aired on AMC this past Sunday, and it did NOT disappoint. TWD is back in full force with the highly anticipated (and long-awaited) return of Andrew Lincoln's Rick Grimes to the world of The Walking Dead. At it's core, this first episode (which felt more like a feature film rather than a TV pilot) is a story of grit, determination, and brokenness; a longing for what you cannot have. This is a tale of mental health and emotional intensity that happens to take place within the horrors of the zombie apocalypse. The CRM is bigger and more immense that we ever could have imagined, and it looks like after the remaining five episodes of this series, The Walking Dead Universe will never be the same again.

Mike Flanagan's Doctor Sleep (2019) is widely considered to be one of the greatest horror sequels of all time. It pulled off a pretty incredible feat, considering that its a direct sequel to arguably the most influential horror film of all time - Stanley Kubrick's The Shining (1980), starring Jack Nicholson and Shelley Duvall. Quite frankly, this movie has no business being as good as it is, but its truly one of the best sequels to any film in any genre from the last 50 years. Let's watch it! . .

Saviors may be my new favorite Green Day record, and I'm not afraid to say it. That's right. As a lifelong fan of Green Day and their music, this new album hits in all the right ways. It's a major return to form in concept, while simultaneously daring to push the boundaries of the traditional punk rock sound. It tackles politics, the nuances (and simplicities) of love, mental health, the legacy of rock and roll, and the continuously changing times that are only getting stranger. Green Day rules the punk rock scene, and Saviors proves that even 30 years after the release of their breakout album, Dookie (1994), AND 20 years after their rock-opera masterpiece, American Idiot (2004) changed the music world, they've still got it. Strange days are indeed here to stay. And so is Green Day. Here's my full track-by-track review!

(You either really like us, or you really like Lost You Forever, and we appreciate you either way.) We know you've been waiting for it, so this episode, we finally get to the last three main players fighting for Xiaoyao's heart: Fenglong of the Central Plains; Xiang Liu, everyone's favorite nine-headed sea snake demon man; and last but certainly not least, Tushan Jing, soft beta baby boy of the year.

We're continuing our three-part mini-series on Lost You Forever by diving right into a truck load of spoilers! In honor of the reverse harem-ness at all, we organized our discussion around leading lady, Xiaoyao, and her four suitors. This episode, we start with Xiaoyao herself–and her many abandonment issues. Then, we get into our complicated feelings about her charming, ambitious cousin, Cang Xuan and his dangerous pursuit of the throne. As a treat (for Corinne), we also talk about Xiaoyao's bratty half-sister, A'nian, because she's the worst (and the best). Don't worry Fangfeng Bei and Tushan Jing fans, stay tuned for part three of our discussion for our hot takes on the rest of the harem.

This episode, on the recommendation of an SLL listener, we're excited to do a deep dive into the Japanese Drama, Rinko-San Wants to Try. We get into how the show complicates conceptions of virginity, plays with the friends with benefits trope, and maybe get in our feelings a lil bit about a second female lead who really got under Ayanni's skin. As two people who study, analyze, and have a literal podcast about media, we stand in solidarity with the SAG-AFTRA strike. Without the labor of the actors currently on strike–along with their counterparts in other industries/countries, who also deserve fair wages and labor protections–none of the works we discuss here or in other episodes would exist.

This is the second episode of our two part discussion on the Female Gaze. Since we laid some groundwork and gave some context in part one, this time around, we dive right in. In thinking through “the female gaze,” we ask questions of whom we presume is looking and who is being looked at. We also think about how the gaze becomes more complicated in our modern media context, especially when we move beyond binary, heteronormative understandings of gender and sexuality. We definitely recommend checking out "E31 The Female Gaze (Part 1): The Origins of the Gaze" before listening to this one. As two people who study, analyze, and have a literal podcast about media, we stand in solidarity with the WAG and SAG-AFTRA strikes. Without the labor of the writers and actors currently on strike–along with their counterparts in other industries/countries, who also deserve fair wages and labor protections– none of the works we discuss here or in other episodes would exist.

We're tackling a big topic in our two part discussion on “the female gaze.” What is the female gaze and why does it matter? In this first episode, we establish some context for the term by getting into the history of the “gaze” as a concept, the psychoanalytic origins of the Male Gaze as theorized by Laura Mulvey, and how the oppositional gaze, as coined by bell hooks, makes space for alternative ways of looking and being looked at. You can listen to "E32 The Female Gaze (Part 2): Complication and Expansion" right now! A quick editorial note: We incorrectly mention that polo originated in China. Sources consider what would be modern day Iran as the location of origin for the game. As two people who study, analyze, and have a literal podcast about media, we stand in solidarity with the WAG and SAG-AFTRA strikes. Without the labor of the writers and actors currently on strike–along with their counterparts in other industries/countries, who also deserve fair wages and labor protections– none of the works we discuss here or in other episodes would exist.

Content warning: This episode contains discussion of bullying in the narrative from (13:05 - 19:00) and sexual assault from (37:21 - 48:50). This is the second of our two-parter on Netflix's Sex Education with filmmaker, writer, and scholar Michele Meek! We dive right into the sex with this one, starting with depictions of sex in the show, how we feel about the ways consent does and does not work in-universe, and Corinne works through her angry feelings about Season 3 headmaster, Hope Haddon.

Content warning: While we don't discuss sexual assault in detail, we do mention it a few times, since it often comes up in conversations about consent. We've got a treat for you all this episode! Along with your usual fabulous co-hosts, we're joined by filmmaker, writer, and scholar Michele Meek to discuss the Netflix show Sex Education. In the first of two episodes with Michele, we first learn about her exciting new book, Consent Culture in Teen Films: Adolescent Sexuality in US Movies. Then, in our discussion proper, we introduce Sex Education; decide whether or not we really like the main character, Otis, and other members of the ensemble cast; and work through some of the secondhand embarrassment often associated with teen sex comedies. Mark your calendars and turn on your SLL notifications: "E30 Sex Education (Part 2) feat Dr. Michele Meek" will drop on July 28th, 2023! To learn more about Michele and her work, visit MicheleMeek.com. Corinne got really excited during What's Sparking Joy and it ran a little long, but if you want to get right to the Sex Education content, you can jump (15:35 - 24:48). Also, if you're a Sex Education fan and want to skip the background/character info, you can bypass (25:49 - 30:48). As two people who study, analyze, and have a literal podcast about media, we stand in solidarity with the WAG and SAG-AFTRA strikes.

We're doing a deep dive into the Shondaland Netflix show, Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story! This episode, we talk about the steamy, but bittersweet romance of George and Charlotte, the evolution of the inimitable Lady Danbury, and how this new Bridgerton tale makes space for the complex desires of mature women. Like most Bridgerton series, this one has a large cast. Skip to (18:56) to bypass the character and series introductions. A quick note to bolster our discussion of minstrel shows, they rose in prominence and popularity in the mid-1800s and—to be explicit—relied upon mocking racial stereotypes of Black folks.

This episode, we're talking about the in's and out's of the Friends to Lovers trope. We cover what we think makes for a great friends to lovers story, what really really doesn't, and throw in a ton of examples. (Only half of which are Kdramas.)

We're diving into the spicy Korean web-drama Hit the Spot, aka Fanta G Spot. There was so much ground to cover (and once again, so much sex) that we're splitting our discussion into two parts. In part one–which you're reading about right now–we give some context for the show's setup, introduce the cast of characters, and share our reactions to the two main romances. Make sure you listen to part two for our thoughts on the ways the drama centers female pleasure, how it balances education with fantasy, and more! Most importantly though, we need your thoughts on Roy Choi with a beard or without. Will y'all vindicate Ayanni's appreciation for stubble? Or will you side with Corinne's approval of a clean shave?

This episode continues our deep dive into the sexy and sex-filled Korean web-drama Hit the Spot, aka Fanta G Spot. We get into the ways that the drama centers female pleasure, how it balances education with fantasy, and ask if consent can really be sexy. (Spoiler: yes.)

Content Warning: This episode contains discussion of sexual assault, from (28:34 - 35:55). At the last YASA Conference, we answered the very pressing question on the mind of every Lore Olympus reader: Why is Hades So Hot? (Read: many, many reasons.) This time around we broaden our focus by putting Lore Olympus in context. In our "semi-academic" style, we discuss how this adaptation of the Hades & Persephone myth blurs the boundaries of young adult literature through audience, themes, and what it means to "come of age." Catch Corinne and Ayanni at the first ever, live Sex. Love. Literature. Q&A session on Tuesday, November 1st at 4:30pm ET as part of this year's Young Adult Studies Association (YASA) Conference!

Content Warning: This episode contains discussion of sexual assault, beginning at (18:55). In this special episode, we ask the question on the mind of all Lore Olympus readers: why is Hades so hot? This episode was originally recorded in 2020 for the the inaugural Young Adult Studies Association Conference, so it leans a little more academic than our usual episodes. We get into how how cartoonist Rachel Smythe's adaptation of Hades and Persephone myth plays with dark prince tropes, retools familiar characters, and grapples with difficult concepts. And make sure to check out our next Love Olympus episode, coming out on Monday, Oct 24th!

This episode is the second of our two-parter on Bridgerton, Jane Austen, and the appeal of the Regency Romance genre. Continuing our tête-à-tête with Mav and Hannah from Vox Popcast, we get into why Netflix's Persuasion may or may not have sucked, other delightful Jane Austin adaptations, and what ingredients we absolutely have to have to make a regency romance work.

Back in your ear holes for the first time since May, we're fresh off our summer hiatus. This episode we're joined by friends of the show, and fellow pop-culture connoisseurs, Mav and Hannah from VoxPopcast. In part inspired by Netflix's recent Persuasion adaptation as well as the continued success of Bridgerton, we wanted to put regency romances in context. In the first of two parts, we get into what, exactly, a regency romance is, why people love them so much, and our own experiences watching them. (Hint: it's the bosoms.) What's Sparking Joy sparked a little more than we expected, but you can skip (09:25-26:35) to get to the main discussion. Also, a quick correction: Love Like the Galaxy takes place 2000 years ago, not 1000. You can find Hannah, Mav, and VoxPop wherever you get your podcasts.
