I really gotta say I'm tickled pink when y'all complement my asks. I'm at a loss for words at the moment, so all I can say is thank you. Another great episode! Your insight into the topics is always very enlightening and interesting.

Late reply here, but as much as we’ve all ghosted Tumblr these days we really love your blog and rec it to all. Thanks so much for all of the support! It really means a lot.

This week we’re joined by Marie-Claire for our explorational into the pivotal shoujo manga "Hana Yori Dango"(Boys Over Flowers), along with the 2018 Chinese TV adaptation "Meteor Garden." We talk shop about questionable hairstyles, roast the “Flower 4” on Shan Cai’s behalf, and discuss all the tropes in this definitive enemies-to-lovers coming-of-age tale.

Hi ladies! What are your thoughts on the novel Little Women and its many adaptations? Also, what are some of your opinions on the Greta Gerwig’s adaptation set to release this December? I’m quite excited about it, but would love to know your thoughts!

Hello harpies! I've just listened to The Last Unicorn episode (so late! sorry!) and on the topic of beastly brides, are there any plans for a Little Mermaid episode?

Absolutely! Not in the immediate future but it’s coming. Thanks for listening.

Highlights of today’s episode include a discussion on Novik’s reclamation of the folktale via a Jewish perspective. Bonus content includes perpetual stanning of not one but TWO monster husbands, and Shi is called out for not shipping Chernobog. Popsicle jokes are made.

It would be really interesting to hear you talk about the discography of Bjork. I think her music is powerful and weird and complex and it would be nice to hear you discuss it.

This is a cool idea. Erin’s a big fan and has definitely delved into the weirdness of her career, Shi and Nat less so. We haven’t covered any discographies so far but we definitely won’t rule it out for the future.

Harpies! Have you read the Temeraire series by Naomi Novik. It’s an alternate history type book featuring dragons in the Napoleonic Wars!

We haven’t gotten around to it yet, but we love Uprooted and Spinning Silver! We’ll be dropping an episode on Spinning Silver this coming Tuesday, actually. Stay tuned! Thanks for listening.

Long ago in the Dark Ages of Web 1.0, internet lore was shared not through wikis and YouTube videos but through the anonymity of forum boards, comment threads and instant messenger. It was from this digital, primordial stew that a new phenomenon was born: “creepypasta,” or internet ghost stories. On this week’s episode, we dive deep into Ted’s Caving Page, reminisce about Jeff the Killer, and run head-first into Slenderman’s arms. Bonus content: an explanation on how much makeup is too much makeup when acting out your clown kink.

Hi ladies! What are your thoughts on the continuous stream of Disney remakes? I quite liked the movies with “new flavor” such as Cinderella and Maleficent. However, the one-for-one remake of Beauty and the Beast come off as quite flat. I think the words of David Ehlrich (Indiewire) in his Lion King review summarize my feelings in the matter: “Instead, this soulless chimera of a film comes off as little more than a glorified tech demo from a greedy conglomerate.”

Hi anon, we’ve actually answered this live on our upcoming Babadook episode! Thanks for the question and for listening.
