• Episode 46: Fact or Fiction: Should It Be Accurate If It’s Boring?

  This week, we accidentally stumble into a surprisingly deep question: does historical accuracy actually matter if the story’s good?From Braveheart’s creative liberties to Chernobyl’s condensed timelines, we explore how far films and books can stretch the truth before it stops being “based on a true story” and starts being full-on fan-fiction.Comments, questions, feedback?

• Episode 45: Is Hugh Grant Too Charming to Be Scary?

  Hugh Grant in a horror movie? We ask if he’s just too charming to be scary.

• Episode 44: The Monster is Frankenstein

  This week we dig into Guillermo del Toro’s upcoming Frankenstein and the review that had us wondering if the critic even read the book. We chat about why the creature was never really the monster, how Hollywood keeps twisting the story, and what a faithful adaptation might actually look like. Plus, a few rants about media literacy and why The Pitt is a fantastic show and maybe we should've talked about that instead. Comments, questions, feedback?

• Episode 43: Books, Boundaries & the Bendigo Writers Festival

  At the Bendigo Writers Festival, a new code of conduct sparked debate about free speech, safe spaces, and censorship. We dig into the controversy, and still manage tangents on The Naked Gun reboot, George R.R. Martin’s Sesame Street characters, and why fandoms never stop arguing.Comments, questions, feedback?

• Episode 42: Superman, Spicy Dracula & Dickens’ Worst Guest

  We tried to stay on topic… but failed spectacularly. Starting with James Gunn’s Superman and a disastrously bad War of the Worlds remake, we somehow end up deep-diving into Iceland’s saucy Dracula, the time Hans Christian Andersen became Dickens’ houseguest from hell, and the bizarre habits of famous authors.Comments, questions, feedback?
