Episode 9: Divergent



Divergent is an intense story that takes some narrative risks. Do those risks always pay off? Listen to find out! Megan gets into some train technicalities. Jenna rails against symbolic hand-cutting. We challenge filmmakers to not put mascara on actresses, for once, god, please.

Content warning: we discuss some instances of sexual assault in the book/movie. It isn't graphic, but if you want to avoid it, it happens from 36:10 - 38:30.

Episode 8: The Devil Wears Prada


The Devil Wears Prada: a bestselling novel made iconic by its movie adaptation. We discuss the good (Stanley Tucci) and the bad (some cringe-worthy descriptions of New York). Megan insists that being Miranda Priestly's assistant isn't all bad, and Jenna gets heated about linguistic inaccuracies.
