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 Happy Sherlock Day dear Listeners! As a special treat, here's a bonus episode in which Jasmine and River quiz Sam, Shami, and Callie on fun facts about the world's first consulting detective!  The following podcast is for entertainment purposes only.

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...

Send us Fan Mail Alas we don't have time to properly pay tribute to the Bard's birth/deathday, but we still have plenty of outtakes related to things we've reviewed! At long last, the missing half of the If I'm Being Honest episode! A weird number of references to Degrassi and Rocky Horror Picture Show ! River's unhinged fancasting of their Hamlet pitch for the very first...

Send us Fan Mail Once upon a time, a little over a year ago, from the mind of one Conor Duffy and the Fate TTRPG system came a tale about Jean Valjean, Queen Titania, Morgan le Fay, Alice, and Christine Daae being called on to stop a thief from stealing the very power of storytelling, while having to escape Chateau Dif, defeat the Sweet Witch, and persuade the First Goddess along the way. Now in a...

Send us Fan Mail I promised I wouldn't leave you empty handed while I got to work on these gigantic episodes, so enjoy, well, exactly what's on the tin. From The West Wing, to Empowered comics, to the revival of My Fair Lady , my friends sure do have a variety of interests that you can hear about here! Clips Used The West Wing "Made in America" from Bonnie & Clyde Find My G...

Send us Fan Mail Well. It figures that on a weekend our hostess did laundry and taxes, multiverse shenanigans would ensue. The universe may not be in the balance, but Jasmine's self esteem might be as she hides in a closet while her alternate self and her friends discuss what The Emperor's New Groove was once going to be, Kingdom of the Sun. What's wilder, what a different movie tha...

Send us Fan Mail As a wise, Australian bunny once said "Easter is new beginnings, new life, Easter is about hope," and so to celebrate we discussed the Tumblr darling, Rise of the Guardians, in which Jack Frost, Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, the Easter Bunny, and the Sandman formed a superhero team...and this movie is a lot better than that suggests. Join us in screaming about the gender...

Send us Fan Mail No need to wish for the Goblin King to take your baby brother away, dear listeners, this week we are covering the cult classic that takes inspiration from more classic tales than we can even count, Labyrinth ! Come for the nostalgia, stay for the David Bowie infodumps, the various comparisons to existing fairytales and classic stories, and conversations about what this film has to...

Send us Fan Mail Once again editing is hard and thus you're getting another chunk of my gigantic file of outtakes! This one's about half Broadway discussion, a quarter discussion of celebrities who have done various awful things, and a quarter bookwormy goodness.  Clips Used Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/yeti-music/chasing-balloons License code: N7BH6DYCM...

Send us Fan Mail Sally forth, tally ho, let's kill this double feature at last! Jasmine, River, Sam, Ilana, Bryan, and Kyle come together again to discuss the 2014 version of La Belle et La Bete and we all ask incredibly important questions such as whether it was worth sparing Mickey Mouse's life for this movie,  dear GOD who thought copying that one Mountain Dew Commercial with those pu...

Send us Fan Mail Editing is hard, not only because the La Belle et la Bete (2014) episode is taking longer than usual, but also what was meant to be a Beauty and the Beast themed outtake special needed some help from the outtakes in the vault...but hey, Disney fans tend to think of the Disney versions of Beauty and the Beast and The Little Mermaid in the same breath, right? Just have fun with the...

Send us Fan Mail "I ask you a little of this childish simplicity, and to bring us luck, let me speak four truly magic words, childhood's 'Open Sesame'...Once upon a time..." -Jean Cocteau And speaking of those very words, nearly a decade ago, Jasmine was delighted to see that Brows Held High would be discussing not only Jean Cocteau's take on one of her favorite fairy...

Send us Fan Mail Disney cast members are seeking to unionize!  Spotify is screwing over the authors of audiobooks! Disney Adults and theatre kids alike were hit with surprise teasers this week!

Send us Fan Mail With the La Belle et La Bete double feature still languishing and dying of loneliness due to scheduling issues, we've decided to instead celebrate Valentine's Day with a discussion of which of our favorite relationships within fairytales, myths, and classic literature has stood the test of time, and River's gonna rank them! Who will win? The socialite and the bootle...

Send us Fan Mail At long last, what was supposed to start off our December is starting off our February, but hey, it took Sir Gawain a year to get his quest done! The Green Knight is a fascinating take on Arthurian Legend that also happens to star Dev Patel with a magnificent beard. Ilana, Conor, Katie and I discuss the odd collisions of Christianity and paganism, the historical context of the tal...

Send us Fan Mail For the very first time, we have three stories to discuss for this segment of Retelling the News .
