This week we watched and discussed Alice Wu’s acclaimed film The Half of It. We think you should watch it, too! We discuss the elegant way Wu has woven together some very relatable and sometimes uncomfortable lessons about growing up. Enjoy our
We’re taking a break with this pre-recorded episode. In October 2020, we indulged in a re-watch and discussion of the comforting, but also emotionally complex Pixar film. Charlyn, in particular, loves this movie. We hope you enjoy our (mostly C
We just can't wait for Season 3! For this episode, we explore the bizarre yet realistic family dynamics of The Umbrella Academy, dig into the opportunities seized by setting season two in the 1960s, and speculate on what might be coming next.

This week, Faefyx and Charlyn revisit The Mandalorian after watching Season 2. We discuss the different ways the identity of 'Mandalorian' is claimed and attributed in this season, as well as implications of those identities on what it means to
It’s another seasonal episode! This time we delve into a holiday classic: the slapstick-heavy, and yet surprisingly sad Macaulay Culkin vehicle, Home Alone. This one bears revisiting as an adult; we get into why this film hits us completely dif

In a follow-up to our episode on Avatar: The Last Airbender, we discuss Korra as a protagonist, the show’s relationship with the status quo, and the use of the spirit world as a storytelling medium. We also question whether some arcs really ear
It's been one year since the very first episode of Unramblings, where we embarked on our journey to The Overlook Hotel with Stephen King's The Shining. For this anniversary episode, we're visiting with Dan Torrance again with Stephen King's Doc
Before we release our anniversary episode on Doctor Sleep, we wanted to move our first episode, The Shining, back up in the queue with a fresh intro for those who might have missed our debut. If you have the time, it's relevant for the Doctor S
Just in time for Halloween, we’ve made an Addams Family episode! We discuss the overarching Addams Family conceit and how it's been adapted for different decades and mediums, and get into why we think this kooky family continues to capture our
It’s spooky season, so we’re immersing ourselves in appropriately weird and dark media, like the 2013 dark comedy/teen rom-com/zombie movie – yes, you read all those categories correctly – Warm Bodies! We delve into the messages of this film –
This week, Charlyn and Fyx delve into the mind-bending TV series Legion. We examine what the narrative and the storytelling have to say about our perceptions of reality, whether “good” and “bad” are too simplistic when looking at character grow
This is a nice light episode that just deals with trauma, isolation, and issues of institutional indoctrination and conformity! Okay, so it isn’t light at all, but we throw a couple of jokes in there, and the source material makes the heaviness

We get to a ‘Big Question’ in each episode, but we’re really tackling the *BIG questions* with A Canticle for Leibowitz by Walter M. Miller, Jr. this week. This one’s heavy, folks. Even for us. Expect conversation on whether humans are doomed t
Since every day is exactly the same these days, we’re leaning in and talking about time loops! This episode is mostly about Palm Springs, a Lonely Island Production, but also somewhat about Groundhog Day and Russian Doll. We talk about why it f
Charlyn and Faefyx take on the first book in Brandon Sanderson’s Mistborn series, “The Final Empire” (originally published as “Mistborn”), in the first of an ongoing series. Tune in for discussions on classism tied to racism, the use of religio
This week we tackle the Broadway sensation Hamilton. We discuss the way that seeing the live production (on streaming) changed how we perceived certain parts of the narrative, how the staging and blocking adds to the storytelling, and the natur
We’re jumping on the bandwagon! This week we’re talking about Avatar: The Last Airbender. And it is actually a lighter episode this time, finally… We talk about the show’s messages around the value of diverse perspectives, the cost of divorcing
The depressing subject matter train keeps on rolling! Instead of talking about toxic, extractive, colonial-feudal systems, we’re talking about the toxicity of a world in which all the messaging says you have to be either a perpetrator of violen
We’re back and tackling more depressing subject matter than ever! Last time you joined us, we talked about the surprising themes and messages around the toxicity of extractive, colonial-feudal systems contained within a delightful and progressi
