read books that you don't understand. read books where you have to pay attention. read books that make you reread a page eight times to figure it out. read books that you need to take notes on. read books with words you have to google. read books that don't make sense without research on the setting. read books that make you feel stupid because otherwise you'll just be stupid.
Mortifed! Episode 213: B-Cumby and the Case of God's Worst Wig (Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy)
On this episode, @leylses and @monsterfactoryfanfic begin a new unit on spy media with the classic 1974 novel (and it's 2011 adaptation), Tinker, Tailor, Soldier Spy! We discuss the difficulty of grappling with dense texts, the limitations of the podcast as critical media project, and approve of the book's handling of messy bisexuals.

This week, @monsterfactoryfanfic and @leylses indulge in the glorious tradition of watching advertisements for video games and going, "Ooh!" "Aah!" or "Neat, but not for me." We did not poison ourselves with Mountain Dew or hot wings this time, but if you have suggestions for future physical trials you can e-mail us at [email protected].

our episode was supposed to be on hansel & gretel: witch hunters and what we learned is that this was just an enjoyable 87 minutes of campy fun, but ultimately not much to talk about.
we will still have a new episode next monday, but it'll likely be about ~5 mins on h&g and then the rest of the time we'll talk about game announcement we're excited about. and we're going to physically restrain ourselves with AI-integrated shock collars that will electrocute us every time we start to talk about kingdom hearts 4.

@monsterfactoryfanfic and @leylses finish up their 2 month journey through Ayn Rand’s “The Fountainhead!” We get the maddest we've ever been, get fully irradiated with yaoi, make a short pilgrimage to the cuck chair, and cap it all off with a special musical ending, for real fans only.Â

Despite this giving me permanent brain poisoning, I’m really happy with this series of episodes. Reading Fountainhead a chunk at a time and then discussing it with Leyla has scratched a real itch that I haven’t been able to get at since taking a break from YouTube. I think this series has been really funny and gave us a real understanding of what makes libertarianism appealing, and also why it’s a big fairy tale. If you like this sort of literary deep dive, please consider sharing our work with your friends!
