In Each Retelling Podcast

In which we explore all the ways old tales are made new

[ineachretelling]

Welcome to In Each Retelling

This is the tumblr for the podcast in which we explore all the ways old tales are made new. Join our host Jasmine Garcia and the rest of the IER family each week as we discuss adaptations of the fairytales we heard as children, the classic literature we read in high school, and the most ancient of mythologies that we still nerd out about today. 

New episodes are available every Monday on Buzzsprout or wherever you get your podcasts.

From the Journal of Jasmine Garcia:

“Hey Tumblr. Do you like fairytales, folklore, mythology, or classic literature? Do you like listening to a bunch of neurodivergent and/or queer disasters discussing media in both analytical and fannish ways? Are you excited that the SAG-AFTRA strike is finally coming to an end? Then have we got the podcast for you!”

One of the major ways Elementary stands out from other Holmes adaptations to me is how they wrote Watson. Like it would've been so easy to write her like any other Watson, brilliant, yes, undoubtedly, but forever attached to Sherlock. Watson is there because Sherlock wills it so, because Sherlock needs a rock and because Sherlock Holmes is a man forever in need of a partner. Usually.

But they broke that. They said this is Dr Joan Watson, and she is incandescent and ruthless. She's a surgeon and there's an episode where Sherlock says surgeons have a healthy dose of god complex and you think sure buddy and then Joan threatens Moriarty in the middle of a restaurant and you go, huh. She learns to pick pockets and watches out of boredom. She changed careers over and over again till she found the one that fit. She became a detective and could and would absolutely kill a man and vouch for someone killing a man because it's Sherlock and she loves him very much. She's a partner, in the very literal sense. She kept track of murders as a teenager. She enchanted the most dangerous woman on the planet and EARNED her protection. She's a cancer survivor. She threatens gangs and online hacker conglomerates in free time. She's a mother. She's half of two people who love each other very much. She moved across oceans for him and she would do it again.

​“Sinners” turns ONE-YEAR-OLD today! Originally released on April 18th, 2025 and wow what a year it’s been for this incredible movie! I did a slight update on my original print. Tons of people asked where Bo Chang was (he was warming up the car) so I added him to the party. I also added in the great Buddy Guy and the modern version of Stack and Mary! Okay, now I gotta go watch it again!!! Happy 1st Birthday to all you “Sinners”! @michaelbjordan @_milescaton_ @wunmimosaku @omarbensonmiller @lijunli @therealbuddyguy @sinnersmovie #sinners #michaelbjordan #sinnersmovie #sinnersfanart #oscars

A typical English countryside, as done by a true and loving hand. Though you can't see it, there's a little country fair down that road and over the hill.

[mysteriouspersonrambles]

Truthfully one of the most insane things to me that tumblr users have ever done is transform Dracula from a book about the Victorian scooby gang trying to defeat a vampire into a tragic time loop (which in turn makes the story even more of a gothic horror in my opinion) via the existence of Dracula Daily

Like what do you mean every single year the Harkers, the suitor squad and Van Helsing are forced to relive the worst year of their life

Sure they win in the end but over and over they are forced to loose the people they love, be striped of their personhood and fight what must have seemed like an impossible battle.

And nobody is even aware of this time loop except us and we just feed into this narrative. “Oh my friend Jonathan has just sent me another letter let’s hope this goes better than last year ;)”

And from a literary analysis standpoint this whole change is inane because it frames the book in an entirely new light. There is a meta layer of horror being applied to the book that was never possible before.

How many years will they suffer like this before someone realizes something is wrong? Before someone gets déjà vu just a few too many times?Before Jonathan and Mina realize they don’t know what their son looks like all grown up? How many years before they are free?
