Show notes

Screw books! We're a True Crime podcast now! Megan and RJ are joined by Kate, host of the podcast Ignorance Was Bliss to get all up in Truman Capote's genre-birthing "nonfiction" book, In Cold Blood. Together we'll objectify nuns, workshop Kansas tourism slogans, play "Capote or Pitbull?", and learn why murderers are often really, really dumb. Just like, so unbelievably stupid, you guys.

61: This Teen Angst Is Vintage Jun 13, 2019

Show notes

Another special request episode takes us back down that old YA road to Paul Zindel's novel, Pardon Me, You're Stepping on My Eyeball. Soak in that good good 1970s teenage disillusionment while RJ forgets who wrote Catcher in the Rye, gives the graduation speech no one asked for, and just generally drives Megan to the brink of madness.

60: If She Breathes, She's a Thot: The Tragedy of Othello May 30, 2019

Show notes

We're back for more Big Willy, this time taking a look at Othello, the classic tale of tragedy, betrayal, and people flat-out refusing to JUST TALK TO EACH OTHER, MY GOD. We discover that Iago is not a parrot, but do the parrot voice anyway, learn the dangers of being on #IslandTime, have difficulty saying "Brabantio," and make that one stupid Spaceship Earth joke AGAIN because we're basic.

59: The Remains of the Day — The Phantom Menace May 16, 2019

Show notes

You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll wonder why we keep talking about Star Wars as we recount Kazuo Ishiguro's acclaimed classic, The Remains of the Day, the most frustratingly captivating novel about a butler who doesn't have sex. We revisit being Too British For Feelings, give up on our jazz dreams, and remember that we're all complicit in war crimes. And nude John Cleese. We're complicit in that too.

58: A Long Title About Little (Golden) Books May 02, 2019

Show notes

Take a trip to Little Golden Book Land as we take advantage of a mysterious delivery to revisit such greats as The Poky Little Puppy! Learn about LGB's humble beginnings, how Scuffy the Tugboat can defeat Thanos, and why the illustrations are not as cute as you remember. We cast a hip new Little Golden Movie, try not to sexualize trains, and achieve our dreams at zombo.com!

57: I Can Feel It Cummings in the Air Tonight Apr 18, 2019

Show notes

Oh Lord do we ever feel it coming as we dive back into the weird, wonderful, nearly constantly horny world of poetry with E.E. Cummings (and learn why we definitely wrote his name properly here). RJ remembers the 90s, Megan defends Avante Garde art against good sense, and we all learn that real love is less about marriage and more about being true to your farts.
