Ep 22: The Martian

The Martian tells the story of Mark Watney, an astronaut stranded on Mars. It's scientifically detailed but completely ignores psychological probabilities. Megan wonders what Mark Watney's dating prospects are. Jenna gets upset about the fact that we're not going to the moon anymore. We debate whether a cheesy ending can be earned.

Ep 21: She's the Man (Twelfth Night)

Can you FEEL the ENERGY in this ROOM? Welcome to the first episode of A Bit Much in which the hosts are in the same physical location! We're here to talk about the 2006 movie She's the Man, and the Shakespeare play it is loosely based on. We talk about gender a lot (it's a crossdressing plot!). Megan reminisces on her soccer-playing days. Jenna is considerably less prepared than usual. We both fail to remember the characters from the B-plot.

Ep 20: Slaughterhouse-Five

Slaughterhouse-Five is the most notable of Kurt Vonnegut's novels, and tells the story of Billy Pilgrim as he hops around in time, reliving various points in his life. Megan agrees with the assertion that time is a construct. Jenna loves the comforting nihilism of "so it goes." We get a little too deep, but we also complain about dog continuity, so all-in-all it evens out.

Content warning: this story heavily features World War II and the bombing of Dresden, so there's discussion of war-related violence throughout the episode, although we don't get too graphic.
