Before getting into our conversation on Stephen King's "Doctor Sleep," we took a few minutes to discuss "escapist fiction" as a term, how and why it's used in our society, and what we think about that.

Knives Out
Charlyn and Fyx are back after a spring/early summer of gardening, isolation, and depression! We apologize for having such a long gap since our last podcast, and we hope you can bear with us as we try to get back on track. In this episode, we discuss the fun and cheeky Knives Out, its relationship to the mystery stories that have gone before, and the pointed conversations about class and racism the film definitely throws right at those tense, family-filled holiday dinner tables. Can you guess which Thrombey we think is the worst of the rotten bunch? You probably can!

The Half of It (Alice Wu)
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 discussion on the critical dividends of discomfort and taking risks, the intersectionality of characters, and why we were, ironically, originally not sure we wanted to willingly subject ourselves to the discomfort of secondhand embarrassment guaranteed by a film loosely retelling Cyrano de Bergerac.
