#81 How You Get The Girl Mar 13, 2024

Show notes

Part 3 of our series on the door theme. In this episode, we analyze all the steps up to Taylor's door (aka her heart): step 1, "stand there like a ghost, shaking from the rain...". Bonus slander on toxic masculinity, if that's your thing.

#80 The Last Time Mar 06, 2024

Show notes

Part 2 of our series about the door theme. Once again, we have a door and two people who are trying to communicate. We talked about (false) promises and hope in something that is not really there anymore.

#79 The Other Side Of The Door Feb 28, 2024

Show notes

First of three parts on songs with the recurring theme of the door. After a heated fight with her partner, Taylor walks away from their relationship, but that isn't really what she wanted. Teenage angst, passionate slamming of doors, and confusing times are ahead. We analyzed ALL of it... maybe a little too much (as always). Was she (Taylor) worth this mess? Of course.

#78 Special Session: TIME Person Of The Year Feb 21, 2024

Show notes

Taylor was named Person Of The Year 2023 by TIME Magazine and we talked about it! We read some parts of the article written by Sam Lansky and we urge you to spend some minutes reading it if you haven't already.

Disclaimer: we recorded this episode before Taylor announced The Tortured Poets Department and we were still clowning for reputation (Taylor's Version)

#77 The Door Theme Feb 14, 2024

Show notes

Doors came up so often during our analyses that we decided to dedicate an entire episode to the theme of the door! We split the references into three categories and discussed them. Are we reading too much into this? Probably, maybe they’re just doors, but this was fun.

Emergency Session: The Tortured Poets Department Feb 05, 2024

Show notes

Taylor announced a brand new album at the Grammys and we can't wait to listen to it! We shared our predictions and thoughts about this. We also talked about the fact that Taylor won AOTY for the 4th time... iconic!

#76 Labyrinth Jan 31, 2024

Show notes

Uh oh, we talked way too much about labyrinths this time. Basically this is an appreciation episode on a great example of Taylor’s masterful songwriting. And also an appreciation episode on the Etruscan civilization, our actual roman empire. And we don’t know how breathing works even though we’re both doctors (but not that kind of doctors, fortunately).

#75 Hits Different Jan 24, 2024

Show notes

Back for another Midnights bonus track! Written and produced by the Holy Trinity, Hits Different really does hit different. From drunkenly thinking about your ex moving on with other girls, to thinking you’re being taken away to a mental institution, Taylor takes us on a major emotional rollercoaster.

#74 You're Losing Me Jan 17, 2024

Show notes

What happens when you’re in a long term relationship but you don’t feel like you’re on the same page anymore? And your feelings are fading away, while you’re trying to keep them alive, begging for your partner to try to work on the relationship too. We tried to talk about it in this episode. Enjoy!
