   3: Dream Country

   [CONTENT WARNING: Contains discussion of sexual assault in our "Calliope" segment from 03:25 to 20:15, as well as severe depression and suicide in our "Façade" segment from 43:35 to 1:04:25. Please take care when listening.] GOOD EVENING, DREAMERS! It's been a little while, but we're excited to be back! We were... somewhat less excited to be talking about DREAM COUNTRY, a short collection of short stories that run the gamut from "oh huh! that's neat!" to "wow, what was even the point of writing this". Does Dream's cat form count as a fursona? Is Ra a daddy? What's our weird little guy count at for this series so far? We tackle these pressing questions... and more!

   2b: The Doll's House, Part 2

   GOOD EVENING, DREAMERS! We're back to review the back half of THE DOLL'S HOUSE-- four issues packed with a whole mess of wild twists and wilder ideas. Why does pop culture find serial killers so compelling? Why does this comic have such a tense relationship with queer sensuality? Most importantly, why didn't Morph keep the beard he was rocking in the 1500s? I feel like he pulled it off really well!

   2a: The Doll's House, pt. 1

   GOOD EVENING, DREAMERS! After a short break for Life Stuff, we're back to review the first half of THE DOLL'S HOUSE-- issues #9 through #12, for those of you following along via the floppies. While this new arc is more artistically consistent than Preludes, its writing is... a land of many contrasts. What part of Africa is Queen Nada's tribe from, anyways? (More specifically than just "uhhh y'know, Africa", please.) Was ANYONE excited to see Brute and Glob make a return to the comics page? (Possibly?) Do we "really have to hand it to" the Corinthian? (NO.) All these questions and more will be... maybe not answered, but addressed, at least. Also: Shoutouts to Madame Arachnid! Wherever you are, we wish you well.

   1b: Preludes and Nocturnes, pt. 2

   GOOD EVENING, DREAMERS! This episode, we tackle the back half of Preludes and Nocturnes-- issues #5 to #8 of the original Sandman run. Things go to shit for our main man Morph fast as Dr. Destiny uses his ruby to wreak gruesome psychic havoc on an unsuspecting populace. Plus: Hey look, the Justice League is here! You guys gonna do anything about that gruesome psychic havoc? ...No? Okay... PLUS! Hot takes about goth couture, British insults, and straight people trying to write about gay people! Don't miss it. (NOTE: Due to unforeseen technical issues (and EVERY FIRE TRUCK ON EARTH deciding to drive past our window while we were recording this for some godforsaken reason), some of the sound in this episode might be a little hinky. I've cleaned it up best I can, and I feel like the result is still a perfectly enjoyable listening experience, but just a heads up: if you're wondering what's up, that's what's up. Also, at around the 11 minute mark I reference "Nick Shield, Agent of Fury", when what I should've said was 'Nick Fury, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.", so before all you nerdos write in, yes I caught that. -Iris) SANDJOB IS ONLINE HERE: http://anchor.fm/sandjob / @SandjobPod on Twitter / @sandjob@queer.party on Mastodon IRIS JAY IS ONLINE HERE: irisjay.net / @irisjaycomics on Twitter and Cohost / @irisjaycomics@mastodon.social on Mastodon NERO O'REILLY IS ONLINE HERE: itsnero.com / @itsnero on Twitter and Cohost / @itsnero@mstdn.itsnero.com on Mastodon JESSIE EARL IS ONLINE HERE: @lostrekkie on Youtube / @jessiegender on Twitter "BE KIND, MY NEIGHBOR", A GRAPHIC NOVEL BY YUGO LIMBO: https://www.silversprocket.net/be-kind-my-neighbor-by-yugo-limbo/ "BLADES OF FURRY", A WEBCOMIC BY DEYA MUNIZ AND EMILY ERDOS: https://www.webtoons.com/en/romance/blades-of-furry/list?title_no=2383&page=1 A TRAILER FOR THE TV SERIES "THE LORD OF THE RINGS: RINGS OF POWER": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x8UAUAuKNcU

   1a: Preludes And Nocturnes, pt. 1

   GREETINGS, DREAMERS! Welcome to the inaugural episode of SANDJOB, a podcast where three American queers with varying levels of experience read and review Neil Gaiman's SANDMAN series of comic books! Today's episode covers issues 1 through 4, originally published January to April of 1989 and collected in the trade volume PRELUDES AND NOCTURNES. Just who is the spooky, scary Sandman? How do the original comics compare to the recent film adaptation? How many fucked up little guys can you cram into the corners of a page? And why is Green Lantern here? We discuss all these questions... and more!
