Episodes

Chloe Was Always Dead: Why You're Wrong About 'Life is Strange' 02.02.2025

First episode of 2025! And what better subject to start it on than one of my favourite games. God help us all if that comment about RWBY ends up giving me an excuse to talk about that show, you have not seen me get overly invested in a silly thing until you see me talking about RWBY. Content Warnings: Mental Health, suicide, sexual assault, grief InnuendoStudios, 'Superposition: The Genre of L...

I Am Gwen Stacy (Or, Why Some Characters Are Us) 06.10.2024

Very personal one this time! But the second I rewatched this film, I knew I had to make this episode.

Defending Thasmin (I Can't Believe You've Made Me Do This) 10.07.2024

I don't even like this ship. James Woodall's video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Olpn9YsyMeM&t=1011s MiscDiv Theme by Taylor Harbison Other Music: 'Noel and Horatio's Theme' by Taylor Harbision, used by permission 'Sunny Days' by Anno Domini Beats, from YouTube's Audio Library 'Soporific' by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attributi...

'Fruits Basket' and The Salvation of Akito Soma 29.10.2023

It feels a little funny that within, like, a week of making a mini-episode about feeling like I had nothing personal and artistic to make, I came out with my most personal episode yet... Colleen's video: Gender Expression in Shoujo Manga - YouTube Music: 'Nighttime Stroll' by E's Jimmy Jams, from YouTube's Audio Library 'Danse Morialta' by Kevin MacLeod is licensed unde...

On Art, Inspiration, and Wanting More: A Breakdown 13.10.2023

Sorry it's been so long since I've posted anything. This is a bit of explanation about why. Also a good piece of evidence that I need to hurry up and find a counsellor.

That NYT Article About Hannah Gadsby is Dumb Actually (Bonus Minisode) 03.06.2023

I got pissy about an article and decided to ramble about it. Also, apologies for the way I sound in some of this; I'm currently in the middle of voice training and haven't quite gotten used to speaking in a higher register yet, so my pitch is a bit up and down. I also had to rerecord a load of bits because I forgot Hannah Gadsby uses they/them pronouns, so that's why the editing is a b...

All The World's A Stage: Comparing and Analysing 'Revolutionary Girl Utena' and 'Revue Starlight' 14.03.2023

You have no idea how long I've been wanting to put this essay out there. I wrote it in 2020, and never had anything to do with it until I started this project. I'm super proud of this piece, and everything else I've made over the past year. Now I just need to work out how to one-up it next year! MiscDiv Theme by Taylor Harbison Music:  "Gymnopedie no.1" by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Cr...

I Fixed 'Good For You' (Bonus Minisode) 27.01.2023

See, this was a proper mini episode. Less than five minutes, for an idea I literally only had when I woke up this morning. Go watch Laura Crone's video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eyvMPbHU5ww Music: Sunny Days by Anno Domini Beats Taken from YouTube Audio Library MiscDiv Theme by Taylor Harbison

Why I Can't Go Back to 'BoJack Horseman' 11.01.2023

Sorry it's been a while again! Last few months have been little hectic so I had this script lying around for weeks before I recorded and edited it. Bit of a heavier and more personal one today, but I'm super proud with how it's turned out. The next episode should be something a little special, potentially for the 1 year anniversary of the podcast if I can get my shit together! Links: Dan Olsen (Fo...

Mick Schumacher's Parasocial Hell (Bonus Minisode) 17.11.2022

Just a little unscripted ramble about some new F1 driver contract nonsense, that I thought gave some good extra context to the Daniel Ricciardo stuff from a few months ago. Back soon with something more substantial. MiscDiv theme by Taylor Harbison

'Dear Evan Hansen' has an Identity Crisis 04.11.2022

I've definitely got the 'miscellaneous' part of this title down. This was an interesting one to put together, so I hope you enjoy it! Next time, I'm going to be putting together a (hopefully) shorter piece on True Crime, and after that I've got a very fun, long-form piece that I've been working on for a couple of years, so I'm looking forward to finally sharing that.  MiscDiv Theme by Taylor...

Daniel Ricciardo's Parasocial Hell 12.08.2022

Bit of a longer one this time! I honestly started writing it expecting it to be 20 minutes at the most, but then it grew a little. Very proud of this one, though. It was a lot of fun to put together. A HUGE thank you to my anonymous friends who read the mean tweets for me - you really added a lot to the project! MiscDiv theme by Taylor Harbison. Music: 'Hall of the Mountain King' Kevin MacLeod (in...

Epilogue to 'The Batman' 17.04.2022

This took a bit longer to make than I expected! Not because it took ages to write or record or edit (in fact, taking it from script to finished took barely more than an hour), but because I've just been really busy recently. Guess that's what I get for finally finding a job... Anyway, hope this is interesting. I'll be back soon with something not about Batman.  MiscDiv theme by the amazing Ta...

Prelude to 'The Batman' 13.03.2022

As this episode comes out, I'm sitting in the cinema, waiting for 'The Batman' to start. Let's talk about why I'm not convinced just yet.  As always, the MiscDiv theme was created by the fantastic Taylor Harbison.

Shut the Hell Up and Make Something - An Introduction 14.02.2022

And here we are! This is a project I've been super excited to get started on. I'm hoping to get my first proper essay out reasonably soon, so keep an eye out here for that when it comes out.  A monumentally huge thanks to Taylor Harbison for the show's theme; it's fantastic as always.
