  • Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Sea of Monsters (2006)
    Feb 10 2026

    Brenna and Joe kick off the first of three weeks on Percy Jackson and the Olympians with a look at Rick Riordan's second novel of the series: The Sea of Monsters.

    Up for discussion: new character Tyson (and what that means for Grover), Middle Grade writing structure, how the book renders Greek mythology accessible, and the very 2006 era inclusion of Confederate soldiers.

  • TV Show: My Lady Jane (2024)
    Feb 3 2026

    Brenna and Joe close out revisionist history month with a look at the first (and only) season of Prime's My Lady Jane (2024).

    This New Adult text ages everyone up because it is *horny* (and quite hilarious).

    Plus: a male voice-over for a female-driven show; a messy metaphor, a reliance on needle drops, and our favourite beautiful gown.

  • Book: My Lady Jane (2016)
    Jan 27 2026

    Brenna and Joe gallop through Cynthia Hand, Brodi Ashton, Jodi Meadows's My Lady Jane (2016). Our final revisionist text concerns England's nine day queen, Jane Grey, but uses a fantasy metaphor to tackle the real life Prostestant vs Catholic battle.

    Plus: thoughts on the YA romance; Jane as a modern heroine; and how the three authors' voices blend together.
