We’re finally up to the chapter we’ve all been waiting for — our main man, the Man in the Iron Mask. Featuring 19th century French segues and shennanigans, fancy Bastille cells, noble prisoners and the old bait’n’switch.

SPECIAL - Dumas
Grace and Stevie’s first attempt at recording the April Fool’s episode. It’s certainly an episode. They discuss Hugo’s contemporaries Dumas - a challenger for the title of Most Tangents in a single novel - and Baroness Orczy - a woman (yay!) who wasn't cool with uprisings (less yay).

cw: child abuse, fatphobia mention, death mention
Evil people are ugly, humans are terrible, children make us sad. Pure innocence, sentimental romance novels, the lower-middle class and the media rotting your sheeple brains.

cw: death mention, animal death, fire mention, alcohol mention, sex work.
Elephant poaching, ample backsliding, gardening God-complexes. We discuss how to live by the tenets of Jean Valjean, factory-based respectability politics and effortlessly inventing the economy of small towns. Stevie finally cracks and Nemo is thrilled. Weeds are people, I guess.

cw: Police brutality, extensive conversations about class, ableism, child cruelty, misogyny, incest, death
Talking of money- this week, Nemo Grace and Stevie talk Repentant Cop Characters, Class Traitors, Mob Mentality, Police Brutality 101, The Evil Poor, we Let Incest Go and there are some incredibly questionable accents. A reminder to people in 2021, please remind us about the 200 year anniversary of Bishop Myriel’s death!
Today marks the beginning of episodes mixed by Nemo not Jade, so apologies for the cruddier sound quality!

cw: police, animal death, ableism, child death, structural racism and classism, antiziganism, police brutality, drug mentions, police shooting, internalised racism
This week Nemo, Grace and Stevie build DIY snack receptacles out of our audio equipment, talk calumny about Hugo’s mixing of metaphors, then get on to our most important episode yet: Javert (and also how miseducation about institutionalised racism causes communities of colour to fight ourselves instead of fighting the root of the problem: white supremacy.) Also, tag yourself: Damn, Dance or Dab.

cw: death, leukemia, suicide mention, child abuse, descriptions of violence, ableism, sex work, domestic abuse, mental illness (schizophrenia, paranoia)
We work through our sugar rush and carb coma to talk about our new favourite thing: Les Miserables: Owarinaki Tabiji. This film is part Japanese soap opera, part BL drama with a dash of Les Mis. We go into Osakan accents, technical manslaughter, child actors that far surpass the adults, canon Valvert dates, kidnapping tips and sloppy crime scenes, M Tanube with the lead pipe in the car park, Javert in high places.
Character key:
Baba Jun aka ‘Watanabe’ (Jean Valjean), Watanabe Takumi (Fauchelevent), Tokuda (Bishop Myriel), Tanube (Thernadier), Saito Ryousuke (Javert), Fuwa Yui (Fantine), Kosue (Cosette), Ritsuko (Original Character), Erika (Eponine), Usui Shin (Marius) Usui Taiichirou (M. Gillenormand)
