Cw: references to death, criminal injustice, mention of forced sex work, brief mention of COVID-19.
Of all the times to leave the brick at Stevie’s house, right before Quarantine was not the best - but here we are, and Stevie takes charge to lead us through Champmathieu’s case! We’re unhappy with Norman Denny, Hugo writes a Phoenix Wright game, we talk the physiognomy question, scaring small boys is a criminal offence, and Nemo gets to talk about their new favourite show, Mo Dao Zu Shi. There’s also lengthy conversation about authority, kindness and duty.

We finish Part One: Fantine with plant propagation, sad awoos, Jesus not taking the wheel, some really cool canon mama/papa gender stuff, stage manager rights, a great big huge discussion about what Javert means, a confrontation and... Fantine dies. #5timesJavert #and1timeIt’sValjean #Switching #DomSubUnderones

cw: mentions of police brutality, anti-black racism, islamophobia, slavery, death, war, anti-ziganism
In what is potentially my favourite episode yet, we talk about translations: intent, poetics, Medieval interests, censorship, roasting Victor Hugo, propaganda, Death of the Author, time and digressions, and Tumblr.

Part 2, Book 1, Waterloo, Chapter 1. Waterloo. We’re in Waterloo, and boy will you hear about it. Hugo goes for a walk. He tries to write a war epic. There’s a little drop of rain. The French didn’t acccttualllllyyyyy lose the war, and we go into the power of being wrong.

Listen as someone who’s not studied history tries to explain the study of History! Victor (noted ouiaboo) uses stylism for credibility, Friendship is Ended With Destiny, the jokes and japes of war, and Hugo calls Napoleon a short bitch.

More Napoleonic fanfic, more Iliad fanfic, more fighting, and wet….. wet…. roads. We do most of our fact checking via Hetalia. Hugo is thirsty for some ruffled men in ripped shirts. As the great poet Victor Hugo once said: MERDE. We get financially dommed.

Just when you thought Waterloo was over, we get some post-game commentary! Basically France won. Finally, FINALLY we get a glimpse of some semblance of plot. But don’t read into it too much.

Bet you thought you saw the last of Waterloo! Surprise! More history!! Napoleon gets f*ed by Waterloo and Hugo but hey, he’s got 2 hands. Stevie throws down at Horrible Histories, Nemo reads a book.
[We talk a lot about a picture in this episode. Image description: A large, lavish room decorated entirely in red and gold. There are several large bronze statues holding up lights. Gold chairs are decorated with red patterned fabric. Through the window you can see the sea.]

So you don’t want to catch up with every episode we’ve done in the last 3 years? Don’t know anything about Les Mis? No problem! Join us while we explain the story so far to our Audio Director Jade, who can’t even name the protagonist! We forget our helpful mnemonics, solve some open case murder mysters, and Victor Hugo’s horoscope reads him for filth.

Welcome to season 2! Stevie deliberately antagonises kpop stans, Hugo continues to piss us off so Nemo continues to mangle French in retaliation.
