  • A Room of One's Own: Sad Girls Club
    Dec 2 2025

    We review Virginia Woolf's 1929 lecture. We go on various rants (some unrelated) as we acknowledge society is attempting to have women's rights careening back to the roaring 20's. Disclaimer: We are not kind to the patriarchy on this one. Swifties beware too.

  • The Little Prince: Growing Up is a Trap
    Nov 14 2025

    A French classic written by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. We've read this book a good few times. The Little Prince always reminds us that if you act like an adult all the time it will break your spirit. Don't let fun, imagination, love, and whimsy die! It's not too late. Listen to this episode and read the book before it is! Pay close attention to the Fox. She's mad wise. Also, did y'all ruin Halloween for kids???

  • The Haunting of Hill House: Shirley's Redemption
    Oct 31 2025

    We may have been a bit quick to judge in our episode on The Lottery. Shirley Jackson did her thing here. Is it a spooky haunted house? Or does Eleanor have a mental illness and the Dudley's are playing games? Could it all be the work or ghosts?

  • Jurassic Park: Lex 🤝 Human Sacrifice
    Oct 28 2025

    We're baaaack!!!! How much more modern classic do you get than Michael Crichton and these damn dinosaurs?

    Yet another old white man is given too much power/money. It just some how always goes wrong. Hop on the jeep with us to explore Jurassic hell. We won't be mad if you throw Lex to the raptors, even if she is a child.

    As penance for our way longer than advised hiatus, Andria Carved the pumpkin in the cover art

  • The Lottery: Vague Violence
    Mar 10 2025

    Where Hawthorne gave us too much information we didn't want, Shirley Jackson is being vague af. A banger in the 1940's we guess. Listen to us tell the tale of a confusing ritual and sooo many names. What's with that rock Mrs. Delacroix?
