A friend went to go see Project Hail Mary today and was telling someone about it later who launched into a lengthy monologue about how she doesn't like space movies that are "just about space," but which also featured the funniest line I've heard in a hot second

May I present:

Why you should listen to I Found A Wormhole

Oh we're at it again, boys. I Found A Wormhole is a 5-episode miniseries audio drama in which the main character finds an anomaly in an abandoned bathroom in the woods.

Why you should listen in no particular order:

Holy circular storytelling Batman

There are 360 days in a circle, I'll tell you that much.

The podcast is single narrator (with one or two brief exceptions) but fully immersive with great audio quality and sound design

I love seeing scientific process in a scifi story, and the low-budget but remarkably consistent and detailed experiments really make it great.

I listened to the whole thing over an evening, and boy oh boy am I THINKING ABOUT IT

Experiments are about the minutiae, but/and the story really keeps that without becoming repetitive

Almonds and Strawberries...

Rock

Paper

Scissors

Just finished this show. Holy shit it’s really good everyone needs to listen to it. It’s 5 15-20 minute episodes, I binged it in an evening and it was so worth it. Seriously all my audiodrama mutuals download this show right now.

It has not escaped me that Anthy, the subservient prop that all the boys fantasize about possessing and all the girls use as a scapegoat for their anger over male misbehavior, is the only brown student. This is somewhat complicated by dashboard osmosis leading me to believe that Anthy's brother is the one running the show, and he is presumably also darker skinned (Desi, I'm assuming)? However I'm not sure any of the councilmembers lauding him as their wise and powerful inspiration/leader know that.

I’ve started listening to the book project Hail Mary and frankly there’s no room in the plot of this book for that man everyone seems to be shipping Grace with so I decided to look it up and apparently instead of letting a character not have a romantic interest y’all have yoinked a character out of some kind of Markiplier project

[what-even-is-thiss]

This is the goddamned Jack Frost and Elsa situation all over again

[clonerightsagenda]

Anthy please that is not good snail husbandry your snails are going to die

Love that there have been no adults present in this high school ever since Utena exploded the hall monitor with her butch swag

[tomatotext]

and, look, I’m not complaining, not at all, but this is why it’s very important to be abundantly clear and specific with your Etsy witch.

The horrible little mouse thing annoys me because I tend to hate cutesy little critter companions on principle but also it feels like it's tonally inappropriate. Stop trying to convince me this is a cute school comedy. I know what this anime is about

[ourmutualignorance]

the devil said it's lindsey graham's turn today to speak with mitch mcconnell for 20 minutes

[clonerightsagenda]

why do symptoms always happen on the fucking weekend

[unadulteratedhideouttrash]

[clonerightsagenda]

Also Anthy said she does all the cleaning and calling people Master for the same reason Utena dresses like a boy - because she likes it - so. Is the Rose Bride a tradwife

[clonerightsagenda]

I haven't watched much anime but I'm aware that the all powerful student council is a trope. Still these kids are in middle and high school so it's hard to deal with their ominous machinations. Forget being at the club; they should be playing Minecraft.

Interesting how despite not knowing what the fuck is going on and intending to throw the duel, Utena immediately and effortlessly pulls the sword out of Anthy's chest. The duel sucks its participants into the ritual even when they're not being possessed by a spirit I fear is Purple Incest Brother

There is some sort of unauthorized fucking Thing in here
