In Each Retelling

Send us Fan Mail This week it would seem that our attempts to thwart Dracula have put a target on our beloved Shami's back, so she sadly could not join Jas, Ellie, and Callie this week. To distract ourselves and MAYBE find a solution, we explore how Renfield is a desperate wannabe member of the Evil Polycule, Mina and Jonathan being relationship goals, Lucy is scared and alone, and oddly enou...

Send us Fan Mail In the penultimate episode of Lightning Thief Month, we discuss the musical adaptation, and it's honestly a little surprising that it exists, and Jas questions whether or not this adaptation is much better than the despised film adaptation in spite of taking just as many liberties, and River and Meredith help explain why the fanbase gives it a pass. The following podcast is f...

Send us Fan Mail It's just Jas and Callie today, and the good news is Jonathan's alive! The bad news is Mina and Lucy have no idea of the danger they're in. About the only comfort we have is how gay they're still being, and plotting all the ways we're going to beat up Dracula. The following podcast is for entertainment purposes only. The views and opinions expressed therei...

Send us Fan Mail Fourteen years ago, Jasmine's family had a movie night, and discovered the director of two films Jasmine had a great fondness for at the time had done a similar film about the children of Greek gods, and had a pretty decent time, blissfully unaware of the fandom outrage. Now, Jasmine, River, Leif, and Callie discuss whether or not that outrage was justified...spoiler alert, y...

Send us Fan Mail Between the major character deaths, the ill fated puppies, and Dracula's first bite out of Lucy, it's a harrowing week in the Dracula novel this week. Join Jas, Ellie, Shami, and Callie as we discover our comic relief had hidden depths just before we lost him, and that the SPCA has existed for 200 years (and if you can you should 100% donate to your local chapter to save...

Send us Fan Mail Surprise bonus episode, although does it really count when it's belated? But hey, this episode gets to come out on the anniversary of its subject matter, the beautifully sung, beautifully animated roleplaying game (or is it a visual novel? Jury's still out) where a metaphorical boat lost at sea must clear her name in the murder of the last muse! Here Jas, River, Ellie, a...

Send us Fan Mail "Look, I didn't want to be a half blood." Nearly 20 years ago, that simple sentence renewed youthful interest in Greek mythology, and shockingly, there have been three adaptations (four if you count the graphic novel) of this modern myth about a troubled preteen boy who discovers he's a descendant of the Greek gods, and this month, we at In Each Retelling are e...

Send us Fan Mail The Captain of the Demeter is wrong about his first mate, the older gentleman Lucy and Mina met might be right about not being so precious about the dead, and maybe the way to shake up the Dracula story is by incorporating lesser known vampire myths. The following podcast is for entertainment purposes only. The views and opinions expressed therein belong only to the speakers. Addi...

Send us Fan Mail Wrath Month belatedly continues with one of the loosest Shakespeare adaptations ever, and Jas tries to figure out how she feels about it while River, Matt, and Kyle explain why they love this meandering but poignant film, and come up with some fun double features for it! The following podcast is for entertainment purposes only. The views and opinions expressed therein belong only...

Send us Fan Mail How on earth did D&D, Taylor Swift, Star Trek, Chappel Roan, and all other sorts of nerdy shit get involved in our quest to read  Dracula and help the Harkers break the time loop? Find out on this belated edition of  Dracula Weekly , starring Jas, Callie, and Ellie! The following podcast is for entertainment purposes only. The views and opinions expressed therein belong only t...

Send us Fan Mail This week on Dracula Weekly, while the crew of the Demeter is feeling tense, Lucy and Mina are trying to be blissfully unaware in their proto cottagecore outing, but between Lucy's sleepwalking and Mina's suspicions about Jonathan's letter, it's hard to not feel like the tropes are hungry. Meanwhile Jas, Callie, and Shami bemoan the constant character assassina...

Send us Fan Mail Shami and Jas are short on novel to read and ideas on how to break the time loop this week, so we decided to discuss all of the varying adaptations of Dracula in these unprecedented times. We've got Moffat being on his bullshit, lady vampires that are tired of the Count's shit, a surprising amount of ballet, and a couple of adaptations that technically never were. The fo...

Send us Fan Mail IER returns, and since we tragically missed Pride Month, July will now be wrath month, and our first entry is really an embodiment of feminine rage in Black Swan , where Sam and Jas discuss the horrors of being a woman, being a ballerina, and our society's over-romanticization of sacrifice. The following podcast is for entertainment purposes only. The views and opinions expre...

Send us Fan Mail Happy anniversary In Each Retelling! And to celebrate a year of doing this podcast, we are finally going to start unleashing the looming specter that has haunted us from the very beginning...this week, Shami, River, Callie, and Jas must begin what is going to become a semi regular discussion of good, the bad, and the ugly contained in ABC's Once Upon a Time.  The following po...

Send us Fan Mail This week, Jonathan's days and Lucy's proposals are both numbered, and have left Shami, Callie, and Jas to propose a The Princess and the Frog / Dracula fusion AU, and a fancast worthy of the glorious polycule we'd make to fulfill Lucy's wishes that she could marry every man who would have her...even if we gotta side eye her a little bit for period expected ant...

Send us Fan Mail Today is the 20th of May! I proclaim Eliza Doolittle Day, and what better way to celebrate than to discuss the classic, if somewhat controversial film  My Fair Lady . Jasmine, Ellie, and Callie are all too eager to discuss the ways Greek mythology, Shaw's play, and the Broadway musical culminate into this film, most especially in a happy ending that this story perhaps doesn&a...

Send us Fan Mail Shami and Jasmine are on their own, much like Jonathan is in the castle he's imprisoned in...or so he thought before the Brides of Dracula make the single appearance so iconic that it makes it into Dracula adaptations of all different kinds, such as The Invitation  and A Dowry of Blood . Meanwhile, Lucy is in love with Arthur Holmwood while singing the praises of Dr. Seward w...

Send us Fan Mail Our belated Passover episode has finally come, as we all discuss the absolute masterpiece that is The Prince of Egypt, from the score, to the animation, to the brilliant way they managed to touch the hearts of religious and nonreligious folks alike, as well as shedding a light on how we must remember to stand up for the oppressed wherever they are. The following podcast is for ent...

Send us Fan Mail It's that time of year again, when the tragic time loop of our dear friend Jonathan begins  anew, and what better way to motivate ourselves to join the Dracula Daily party than with a weekly fly on the wall book club for our dear listeners? This week Shami, Callie, and Jasmine discuss how Dracula ruined a perfectly good polycule, Jonathan Harker is a precious disaster that mu...

Send us Fan Mail Happy Revenge of the Sixth Day, everyone! In honor of this series of nerdy holidays that just happened to fall on a weekend this year, here are all the times I had to take out us talking about Star Wars on this podcast...it's shockingly a lot less than you'd think, especially given how often Sam's on. Enjoy, and may the force be with you always. Clips Used Theme Mus...

Send us Fan Mail A long, long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, it is a period of just...so much Star Wars, and given this is arguably a weekend of celebrating George Lucas' flagship franchise, River, Justin, and Addie all decided to offer their own contributions to the universe, with Sam serving as a judge! Let's just say all of our expectations were subverted with this one, Rian Joh...

Send us Fan Mail There have certainly been some... interesting   trailers that have come out recently, from a horror movie retelling of The Little Mermaid that's lacking in horror,  the Asylum's latest offering that's certainly doing... something with the classic monsters, and as a palette cleanser, our celebration of an upcoming anthology of fairytales by disabled South Asian women...
