Cw: description of death, war mention, misogyny
This week Hugo predicts the 2024 UK election, the barricade is filled with autistic men who appreciate the engineering of a canon, and Gavroche makes all the boys tremble. And hold on to your garters because we have an extended portion where Victor Hugo tells us in extreme detail what he thinks of young womens' bedrooms.

Cw: descriptions of warfare, gun violence, death, child death, race riots,
Nemo and Stevie boil in their own sweat as the barricade comes under cannon fire. Valjean performs some sick snipes, the National Guard cause unnecessary bloodshed, there's some hope – and then despair.

Cw: drug mention, child death mention, description of child poverty, starvation, blood mention, injury description, suicide mention
We discuss an album that was not made for us (but which becomes increasingly more imprinted on our souls), another person has pissed off Hugo so we get another session of Opinion Time, and it's time to get sad about bread. We rejoin the barricade and witness the preparations of the barricade boys as the soldiers prepare their final assault – and Valjean offers to blow Javert.

Two people who are, at heart, sixty years old, go to the digital club to give YOU the rundown of which Les Miserables character corresponds to which song from Charlie XCX's album brat. Featuring angsty breakup ER, egg Marius and many romcom realisations.

Cw: death mention, discussion of racism/colonialist mentality,
Valjean and Javert explore some bondage together in the alleyway behind the tavern. We delight in this. And then Hugo reminds us that he was indeed a white man from the nineteenth century as he teaches us about protest and colonial power.

Cw: discussions of death, blood, battle wounds
Open your death notes because it's time to catalogue some boy death! Someone is lost in translation, Marius is bloodied and Hugo is epic. Enjolras canonically kisses a man twice… and then the iconic scene we've all been waiting for.

Cw: sinophobia, discussion of sewage,
We dive into the sewers and for the first time ever, Hugo might be right about science, and also teaches us some new words?? We say the word cloaca about seventy thousand times, the English are respectable, and we find Javert's Inspection Chamber ;) Also, did you know the origin of the word OOZE? Prepare yourself because Nemo and Stevie have a LOT of passion about sewers.

Cw: discussions of sewage, getting lost in the dark, references to suicide, death,
Hugo takes us into the horrors of the sewers, where our smart boy is led by the hand of God. A criminal goes for a stroll by the Seine, pursued by a tall man who is more attractive than Chris Evans… and we finally reach the culmination of a bready bit.

Cw: description of drowning, death, sewage,
[re-uploaded, apologies for the incorrect audio]
Hugo sucks us in with a horrifying account of the sewers, Jean Valean struggles through the sewers, gets down on his knees, only to be met with a familiar and talkative face.

Cw: implications of suicide, death,
Hugo starts us off with some equal opportunity foot fetish, the return of a knob, and Javert and Valjean meet again in filthy circumstances. Javert and Valjean have a tense cab ride around town, Marius narrowly escapes becoming the protagonist of a different musical and if an old man can change, then so can other people.
I talk about Nestor. It's not Nestor, it's Priam.
