We are so sad to be wrapping up this Dear Diary season, but happy to have our favorite complicated woman of history, Marie Antoinette, to do it with. We read Marie Antoinette, Princess of Versailles of The Royal Diaries series by Kathryn Lasky (published in 2000) and we have a lot to say about this teenage future queen of France. Join us for a Royal History for Dummies, where we hate on royalty in all its forms, fangirl over Sophia Coppola's take on MA (and her films in general), and parse through our feelings about the way legacies of “Bad Women” are talked about. Plus, did you know that even back in 1700s France, teenage girls still had to feign interest in their boyfriend's hobbies in order to impress them?

What is this, a crossover episode? Unnatural Selection host Emma joins forces with PB and CJ of the Ga'Hoolingans Podcast to talk about, you guessed it, Zach Snyder's Legend of the Guardians: the Owls of Ga'Hoole (2010), an adaptation of the first three books in Kathryn Lasky's Guardians of Ga'Hoole series! Join these three hosts as they go into the hollow of the Ga'Hoole tree to talk about egregious slow motion, uncannily detailed owls, and how amped we would have been as 10-year-olds witnessing this story about owl fascism. Content warnings for The Capture, The Journey, and The Rescue include: cult programming and deprogramming, white supremacy, fascism, child slavery, cannibalism, graphic depictions of owl feeding and digestion functions, PTSD nightmares, a lot of owl deaths, attempted fratricide, successful parricide, owl swears, and a weirdly racialized way of handling a real dynamic between owls and snakes. The articles Emma references in this episode can be found here: https://movieweb.com/exclusive-john-orloff-talks-legend-of-the-guardians-the-owls-of-gahoole/ https://www.expandedcinematography.com/the-cinematography-of-legend-of-the-guardians.html You can find Emma on twitter @ematsca and the show @UnselectPod.

I don't really know when I really started liking owls. I assume I've liked them all my life but I know that since I have been reading the occasional “Guardians of Ga'Hoole” books written by Kathryn Lasky, and visiting the park in the fall to search for owls, it's definitely fun to read about owls. So today, we read an owl story with two chapters from the book “Little Jack Rabbit and the Squirrel Brothers” written by David Cory. Where you from...What book(s) are you reading?
