Did you teach Audrey's Communication in Pop Culture Class? No? Than this version of this episode isn't for you. See those references on the bottom? They're there for exactly ONE person, and you know who you are. If you are not that person, go check out the directors cut version instead. We have FUN over there. Abad-Santos, A. (2017, June 9).

This is the FULL, RIDLEY-SCOTT DIRECTORS CUT-STYLE version of our Horror Movies episode. TBH mostly you're just gonna hear several minutes of us listing horror movies. Aren't you glad you paid for the steelbook version of this?

What, you thought that just because Carmen graduated and Audrey is on summer vacation they WOULDN'T talk about stuff they've studied in school? My dude, you are SO WRONG. And hey - wear a mask, mmkay?

Board the catbus and join us on part TWO of our discussion of Studio Ghibli! We talk about which films have the best and worst Rotten Tomato scores (spoiler alert: one of them has a 100% and it's SO GOOD please seek it out!), the merit of including some maybe-incest romance in a film, and fumble through the impossible task of ranking our favorites. Fun!

Let's once again travel to the before times and imagine that we live in a world where we are allowed to sit right next to our friends and talk about our favorite animation studio. Granted, Carmen and Audrey don't actually sit in even the same building when they record in normal times, but we give you full permission to pretend that they are sitting within 6 feet of you and sipping a nice cup of green tea while talking about Nausicaa, Kiki, Porco, and our other favorite early Ghibli friends.

Hey remember in the BEFORE TIMES when all was well and we didn't have to bring up the whole pandemic thing every time we talked to another human being? Well that's when we recorded this, with the intention to hold on to it for a few weeks while we built up a buffer of episodes. Then the world started burning down and a few weeks turned into a couple months and, well, here we are, with an episode that does not address the global crisis, but BOY HOWDY Audrey sure does talk about detective-based media a lot. But hey, maybe you're looking for a good escape from having to think about the pandemic! In which case, we present to you: Kitten Whiskers and Kanye: The Return of the Plosives.

Let's take a breather, shall we? This week our two (very audibly) tired hosts meander through a few of our favorite things that won't take up a full episode, including a spider, doughnuts, public transportation, and some listener submissions!

YOU THOUGHT WE WERE DONE TALKING ABOUT HARRY POTTER, DIDN'T YOU?! Oh, you were so, so wrong. In part THREE of our exploration into Harry Potter, we talk about all of the things in the franchise that we just. Can't. Stand. (This is the last one, we promise.)

We continue on our magical journey through the world of Harry Potter as we discuss books 5-7, fandom, merchandise, and other Harry Potter-related things.

We know it's probably been a whole week since you've had "Hedwig's Theme" stuck in your head, so we're here to fix that and get you thinking about Harry Potter for AT LEAST the next month or so. Mary Jane Moore joins us this week as we talk about our growing up with Harry Potter and what we like about the first half of the series. Yer a wizard, listener.

We love you YEAH, YEAH YEAH! And we're fairly certain that's not a bad thing. I know we're glad you're listening! This week Lexi Ramirez joins us to talk about her favorite band, The Beatles, and schools us on some old-school rock and roll. Find out who the fifth Beatle was, who funded a Monty Python film by mortgaging his own house, and how much they ACTUALLY slept the first year of stardom.

Happy Birthday to us! To celebrate our (belated) birthday, we're going to talk about people who are funnier than we are! Like, way funnier. Suuuuuper funny compared to us.
