S1E89 - A Spell on You (Hocus Pocus)

We are not the happiest about this movie. A couple with some pretty fundamental communication issues goes home to see the parents but it turns out she's still in the closet. Lots of holiday "fun" ensues with a ton of fundamentally annoying and miserable people. It still boggles my mind why this is called Happiest Season when most of the movie is spent with so many deeply unhappy people! Needless to say we spend a lot of time dunking on it.

It's the end of the year! We're talking about the songs, shows, movies, games, books, and podcasts we loved this year. Also Chloe takes a side on Barbenheimer. Val fails at describing games. We both bemoan that we haven't read enough books this year.

HOLY MOLY IS THIS SHOW IS GOOD. Watch it and then come listen to this episode and geek out with us! Scott Pilgrim is an amazing tribute to anime and video games and 90s nerd culture.

This week we were lucky enough to have a chance to sit down with Lambda Literary Award-winning author Lianyu Tan to discuss her dark vampire love triangle novel: The Wicked and the Willing. Both Chloe and Val loved the book so of course we're here to give you a wonderfully chaotic interview with the author. Chloe rambles about ergodic literature and Abe Lincoln. Val asks some really thoughtful questions. Some major book spoilers just FYI! Check out Lianyu website: https://lianyutan.com for info about her books and where to purchase!

It's time for a Val episode. That's right Val is here today to try to convince Chloe to play one of her favorite games: Little Nightmares. It's not very queer but it's got cannibalism and wet rats so we're halfway there.

Ok this isn't queer but it's got a bunch of queer icons in it so it counts! We're ending Spooktober with this Halloween classic that we adore. We discuss just how much we love Bette Midler. Val and Chloe also talk about the Disney channel, other holiday specials, and generally our Halloween traditions. What are your Halloween faves? Did we miss an iconic queer Halloween film?

NO SPOILERS FROM ACT 3. Aside from maybe some vague allusions to themes and/or location. Spoilers for Acts 1 and 2 as well as the plots of the previous games. We're back with act 2! This narratively and thematically-focused act stands in stark contrast to this episode where we're all over the place. Still, I think this is a fun one where Chloe desperately tries to understand the zaniness Val is up to.

NO SPOILERS FROM ACT 2 or 3. Aside from maybe some vague allusions to themes. Spoilers for Acts 1 as well as the plots of the previous games. Who knew Chloe could instaneously recite the entire plots of Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 from memory? Everyone. Everyone knew that. Chloe and Val have BG3 fever. Chloe caught Val playing 30+ hours per week. Val did not catch Chloe doing this but she was. We're obsessed with this extremely fun, extremely queer game. This week we're looking at Act 1.
