TW: mentions of drugs, violence
This week is… a lot. Like, if you want actual content, I’d advise starting at 32:00. Otherwise: we’re in the same room after a long time not recording together, so queue the early onset hysteria! Nemo, Grace and Stevie talk identity theft, the G man, Big Valjean Moods, squicks, dark fics and we get our Marketing Game On!

Lads, lads, lads, here them boys, here them average, unremarkable boys. What’s up 2019! It’s been A Fuckin’ While! We’ve made it to Fantine!
Tune in dive into the fleur-de-lis, a social context of Paris, the beginnings of a merry prank, Cockney Rhymed Names, Scented and Glowing gals that Boob boobingly and some r/Romantic discourse.
Bonus game, count how many times Grace says: “It’s such Bullshit”.

cw: Racism, Domestic Abuse, Emotional Abuse, Sexual Assault.
A “mini” review of the first two episodes of Andrew Davies’ BBC adaptation of Les Mis. It might shock you to find out that we get pretty angry about racism, misogyny and abuse.

cw: alcohol
We continue our journey with Fantine! After last episode’s mind-gripping cliffhanger, tune in for pillaging bees, absinthe fields, a Spanish song about leggies, the architecture of Paris, gratified male vanity… and a whole lot of stanning over our favourite Favorite. Do not fuck the fields.

My theatre’s always open! About 5 months ago, we watched Les Mis West End, and we finally got around to talking about our thoughts. This includes Valjean’s Titties Out, Big Shrek Energy, how incredible we think Carley is, Nemo’s vested interest against vibrato, Stevie’s newfound love of lighting design and Bishop Myriel’s French Manicure.

cw: transphobia mention, death mention, incel mention, extended conversation about rape, animal death, alcohol mention, sex work
A story about an NPC plumber, a tragedy about punny people, the wisdom of a Law Student voiding his soul with overindulgence and zeal, basic-level Orientalism, 19th Century TripAdvisor, Stevie’s Horrifying Revelation and … a horse.
(also apologies for the clicking in the background, Jade was playing Don’t Starve!)
