Cw: death mention, misogyny, fatphobia, racism, Islamophobia, sex work, reference to war, alcohol abuse, imperialism, referenced eugenicism / nazism
In a strange turn of events, it’s back to in-person recordings as we get the history of the Corinthe, including an excellent chef, a new old man we love (RIP), some new Hugolian women, before we head over to the Brunch Before the Revolution where we drink some brandy-stout-absinthe cocktails.

Cw: distant firework noises, misogyny, description of protest, guns, references to antisemitic conspiracy theories, references to zionism,
Nemo does some live foley work as we BUILD A BARRICADE! That’s right! Furniture is turned upside down! Cobblestones are uprooted! Hugo is a misogynist! There are tanned, sexy dockworkers and pale twinks, and Javert wishes he had the hands of a linen-maid!

Cw: police brutality, description of injury, death, suicidal ideation, disassociation, warfare, emotional manipulation in a relationship,
We build the WORLD’S STRONGEST AU to start this (unfortunate rerecord episode). The barricades are up and (surprise!) we’re already facing death. Enjolras shows us what leadership means to him, Hugo has a lot of hope for the future (yikes), and Marius tests our patience as he goes to find his death. WHO-HOO! EEEE!!

Cw: death, references to incest and implied pedophilia,
Eponine becomes a mermaid, cursed Marriage AUs, and the most heroic child (and secret leader of the barricade) goes on a mission. We solve a mystery involving a blotter, and then Hugo gives us a moral conundrum to really chew on.

Cw: threats to a child, descriptions of gun warfare
This episode is mostly about a Sumo!Grantaire AU. If you want to cut straight back to the actual story, it begins at 14:15. Valjean reads a letter and struggles with the overwhelming desire to murder Marius (mood) before getting dressed and heading out. The little King of the Barricades shows us how it’s done and takes us to the end of the fourth of five parts. We talk about the remastered 2012 film, have a retrospective about what we’ve come across in this Part so far, and come up with about 76 AUs.

Cw: death, execution, children dying of starvation, sex work discrimination,
Welcome to season 5, in which there are some new barricade men to ship, which Providence means Nemo has links to them. These barricades are inspired by our main boy barricade, which has some leadership issues. Mods are asleep, alcohol is banned, and some student boys do some pontification before choosing who should leave wearing a uniform.

Cw: mention of plane crash, war mention
Nemo and Stevie record the first cross-continental episode, we talk about Hugo's hatred of Taylor Swift's lifestyle, lions and phoenixes, and Hugo/Enjolras' hope for a united states of Europe. There's some thinking about politics and then Javert and Enjolras have some kinky times on a table with some rope.
'The worse side, [Enjolras] cannot imagine. He’s part of it already. The blond hair, fair skin and fine profile that Hugo gives him’ adds to ‘his exclusive devotion to a political cause, the charisma he exercises over others more sensible than he is, his gifts for public speaking and for military action and his unshakeable faith in the purifying virtue of violence speak to us now of the kind of men who turned the twentieth century not into utopia but into sheer hell’ David Bellos, The Novel of the Century: The Extraordinary Adventure of Les Misérables. Penguin Books, 2018, p. 201.
