Sigh no more listeners, because we’re back with a new episode on William Shakespeare’s ‘Much Ado About Nothing’, and we’ll be focusing on not one, not two, but four adaptations! Our media of choice are Kenneth Branagh’s 1993 film, the 2005 BBC TV adaptation, Kenny Leon’s 2019 production, and of course, Will Gluck’s 2023 film ‘Anyone But You’. And with so much to talk about, we’ve made this one into a two parter - look out for the second episode, coming soon! For now, pull up your deck chair, and try not to fall off as we ask why are there so many Shakespeare adaptations, what is a romcom, and does ‘Anyone But You’ succeed at being either of these things? 🎭📖💔🏄🏼‍♀️👰🏽‍♀️💗👩🏼‍❤️‍👨🏼⛪ [Performing Arts Emoji; Open Book Emoji; Broken Heart Emoji; Woman Surfing: Medium-Light Skin Tone Emoji; Open Book Emoji; Bride Emoji; Growing Heart Emoji; Church Emoji] 📝 Shownotes: 📝 📼 Preread text (Rowan Ellis, https://youtu.be/SMFll3aIbmo) Primary Sources:🎭 Much Ado About Nothing (~1598) by William Shakespeare🎞️ Much Ado About Nothing (1993) (dir., wr. by Kenneth Branagh)📺 ShakespeaRe-Told (2005) Ep. 1 Much Ado About Nothing (2005) (dir.

Ahoy once more! 🏴 (emoji for black flag) The flag you’ve spotted in the distance is no illusion – we’re finally releasing another episode on Black Sails 🏴‍☠️🏝️⚓ (emojis for pirate flag, island, anchor) This month, we’re training our spy glasses on Season 1, Episode 2. Whether it’s tits or fruit, our main focus is VALUE – we’ll be digging into how ideas around value operate within pirate stories with their tropes of buried treasure, gold coins, and treasure maps. And as always, we’ll be exploring the influence of Empire on how worth is ascribed to the objects, places, and people of Nassau.

Little Women (1994/2019) Part 3 is now LIVE We’ve reached the final part of our trilogy on Little Women, and the time has come to say good-bye to the March sisters and co… But not before we’ve thoroughly discussed these adaptations one last time! So join us once more as we examine how the two films treat their male love-interests, how Gerwig reimagines the concept of the ‘family’, and as we question who, or what, we should be directing our criticisms towards when we critique these movies. Can Little Women be a ‘story for every generation’? Or is this the wrong question?

One question listeners: are you a Jo, Amy, Beth, or Meg? This episode, we’re discussing characters in the 1994 and 2019 versions of Little Women, and diving deep into subtextual readings and fan interpretations. We’ll discuss disability, autistic, and queer readings, and try to answer our question: is Little Women a ‘story for every generation’, and why is it so popular?

If the main character is a girl, make sure she is married by the end. Or dead. Either way – Little Women (2019) Hello again listeners! After a short hiatus, we are back! And we’re very excited to be bringing you a three part discussion on the cultural phenomenon that is Little Women. 👭🏼👭🏻 [two women Holding Hands emojis] For our discussions, we’ll be focusing on two of the most beloved adaptations of the original 19th century novel: Gillian Armstrong’s 1994 film, starring Winona Ryder as Jo, and Greta Gerwig’s 2019 version starring Saoirse Ronan. Through these three episodes we want to ask the question of whether ‘every generation deserves its own Little Women’, why the story remains so popular, and how its rich history of adaptation and analysis interact to inform our current understanding of the text.  Our main focus in this episode is how the 1994 and 2019 versions build, comment on, and reimagine the story of Little Women for their respective audiences, using not only the ‘original’ text, but also previous adaptations and interpretations of the text, and even Alcott’s own biography.

Hello, listeners! And, to complete the mysterious duology that is #500DaysOfSummer, we're proud to announce that Part 2 is now live! Joined once more by the wonderful Loretta, we’ll be talking about: 🔹The 'male gaze' and what it represents 🔹The role of romcoms in teaching us how relationships should be structured 🔹 And why these characters are acting like teenagers when they’re supposed to be almost 30 🙄.

Hey listeners, we’re back with a new episode!  Summer is over… and as the months get colder, what better way to stay warm than to snuggle up with a feel-good romcom? But looking back over a decade later, is “(500) Days of Summer” (2009) still the subversive, charming film we remember?

This episode: PASSING DOUBLE BILL! 🎞️ 📖 Snubbed at the Oscars (but not by us!! 😆) this episode we’re discussing Rebecca Hall’s magnificent directorial debut “Passing” (2021) alongside Nella Larson's acclaimed 1929 novel of the same name! 👒 👩🏽‍❤️‍👩🏼 🎺 Today’s episode goes in-depth on adaptation theory, as we try to understand how our different interactions with the original and adapted text shaped our interpretations of the story. We also discuss: adapting problematic tropes, ambiguous endings and “Little Women” (2019), how to translate a narrator’s voice into film (spoiler alert: don’t use a voice over), how academic theory influences adaptation and public perception, and why Irene, Clare, and Brian would have been the best Harlem Renaissance throuple. Also shout-out to Lili’s feminist literature reading group convenor Roxanne Douglas for introducing her to the book, and for the phrase “the fanfiction writes itself” (see shownotes “Putting the ‘Bro’”) CWs: discussions of racism, suicide, brief mention of domestic abuse, racist hate speech, the n-word, alcohol 📝 Shownotes: 📝 📼 Preread text (Rowan Ellis, www.youtube.com/watch?v=SMFll3aIbmo) 🎞️ “Passing” (2021) by Rebecca Hall (Screenplay and Direction) (www.imdb.com/title/tt8893974/) 📖 “Passing” (1929) by Nella Larsen (“Seitenwechsel” in German doerlemann.com/6642) 🎧 “Passing” (2010) (Librivox Audio Book) (librivox.org/passing-by-nella-larsen/) 📃 “Passing” Screenplay by Rebecca Hall (deadline.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Passing-Read-The-Screenplay.pdf) 🎺 “Passing” Score by Devonté Hynes (music.apple.com/us/album/passing-music-from-and-inspired-by-the-original/1592777552) 📰 Bien-Kahn, Joseph (2021) ”How to Get a Black-Led Indie Film Funded in Hollywood” (www.vulture.com/2021/11/passing-movie-significant-productions.html) 📰 Chappet, Marie-Claire (2022) “Tessa Thompson: "There are all kinds of Black women that we don't get to see on screen."

Come closer and let us *whisper in your eyes* 👁️👄👁️, because it’s time to discuss the Bob’s Burgers episode “Boyz 4 Now,” and everyone’s favourite fictional pre-teen boy band🕺👯‍♂️👨‍🎤. Whether you’re team Griffin, Boo Boo, or an Allencaholic, you’re sure to find this episode *so interesting*, as we explore how Bob’s Burgers lovingly subverts, parodies, and plays with our preconceptions of the ‘boy band’. We also discuss the mechanics of comedy in animation, the art of tablescaping, and Tina Belcher as a millennial feminist icon. There’s only one thing left to say… Will you be mine?

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, or maybe yes?? Either way, in this episode we’re talking about the 1984 film Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, directed by Hayao Miyazaki, and the movie that led to the creation of Studio Ghibli.*  Join us as we explore how Nausicaa subverts our preconceptions about sci-fi and apocalyptic dystopia, its depiction of humanity’s relationship to the natural world, and why we should stop trying to keep insects out of our homes and embrace them as our many-feelered siblings 🦠🐞🐛🐜. * In the episode we say that Nausicaa was the first Studio Ghibli film when it was actually animated by Topcraft. However, Nausicaa was directed by Studio Ghibli co-founder Hayao Miyazaki and its success led to the creation of the studio.
