How to Get to Heaven from Belfast, "The Wake"

New episode out now! We watched the first episode of the Netflix show How to Get to Heaven from Belfast, a story about three women investigating the sudden death of their estranged childhood friend who held a mysterious secret. We discuss how this is a very vibes-heavy show, loved the Northern Irish setting and appreciated that it was in modern day, and got excited about the fact that we don’t have a clue what is happening and how we all had different theories. We also loved the specificity of the early 2000s music and cyclical fashion choices, really enjoyed the cinematography, and have deeper discussions surrounding personhood and friendship and memory and who we are when we return to those who knew us long ago. Katy felt like a boomer, Carrie critiques flashlight use, Maddy reveals her car’s name, and Mack shares anchoring techniques. We also talk about our deep psychological need to prove we’re right, have a lengthy tangent about digital preservation and the transient nature of modern digital culture, learn not to drive in Ohio at night, and believe that Europe has just as many trash people as the US. Listen to hear more about mudlarking, Avril Lavigne, Community, MBTA closures, The Lord of the Rings, wearing dresses over jeans, age gap relationships, and Zune’s. Enjoy!

The Law According to Lidia Poët, "Episode 1.1"

New episode out now! We watched the first episode of the Netflix show The Law According to Lidia Poët, about the first female lawyer in Italy. We discuss the character of Lidia and how she is portrayed, and how we massively share her frustrations with the opinions and limitations put upon her by the misogynistic patriarchal society. We compare this to other mysteries set in the same era in different countries, try to decide what level of feminist rage bait the show attempts, and enjoy how Lidia had to use her cleverness to get around the limitations put upon her to solve the crime. We also really loved the production design; the locations and sets were beautiful (if occasionally anachronistic) and we especially loved Lidia’s costumes and her very specific and fun jewelry. Katy loves her some historical scaffolding, Carrie shares a fun fact about adapting buildings for acoustics, Maddy does an incredible impression, and Mack tells a story about someone finding a cool pencil. We also learn that France and Italy are not the same, make guesses on how court cases are supposed to share information, disagree about the use of rock music, and talk at length about seeing a penis. Listen to hear more about Count Orlok, scientific women in history, Severance, butts, childbirth inventions, and family dynamics. Enjoy! TW: Misogyny, traumatic childbirth, violence to women specifically

Osmosis Jones (2001)

New episode out now! We try to go viral with the 2001 partially-animated comedy Osmosis Jones. We delve into how the live action and animation feel so disconnected tonally, discuss how we did enjoy the worldbuilding and the sheer amount of puns and visual jokes, thought the music choices were not appropriate, and share how we were also just really, really, really grossed out. We talk about why children would watch this in school, despair at the racist shorthand so common in children’s media of this time, lament the parentification of Shane and wish her dad was better, and ultimately feel this was an interesting idea that was just not executed well. Katy brings up Buffy again, Carrie auditions for The Pitt, Maddy gives an interesting review of B-Dubs, and Mack has an apology to prepare for the afterlife. We also reiterate that farts are funny, learn about species-typical behavior, get excited about a hive mind, and are semi-confident in our knowledge of the human body. Listen to hear more about symptom management, Disney sequels, Laurence Fishburne, mente de gorila, the hypothalamus, mayoneggs, and scheming little brothers. And eat more fiber! Enjoy! TW: Statutory rape, racism, fatphobia, puking, virology, cancer Show Notes: If you want to watch a different version of the “immune system response as shown by law enforcement fighting germs” we recommend Cells at Work! which exists as a manga, anime show, and a live-action movie on Netflix.
