Fantasy Time

Happy MLK Day!

In light of domestic terrorists mounting an insurrection against the capital of the United States, and a new strain of Coronavirus entering the global chat, Falyn and Paris have decided to postpone their scheduled Summary & Review in favor of addressing the current state of affairs.

In this episode, the gals discuss the importance of witnessing the world you live in before you try to escape it and answer questions about racism that no one asked them. The gals also discuss butts, bodies, and their favorite long-gone past-times like drinking in bars.

*This episode contains mature themes and sexual content*

This episode was intended to be a summary and reflection on the highs and lows of 2020... But it turned out to be so much more.

The gals discuss their Christmas experiences and reminisce on their favorite times together throughout their friendship. They also talk about p***, s***, and c**.

Enjoy.

Falyn went a little experimental with this one. She took the last unreleased episode of 2020 and injected it with bloopers. The gals discuss everything from selling feet pics, Bo Burnham, hot teachers, bad writing, and, of course, dicks. Who knew it would take 5 hours to create 42 minutes of pure chaos?

Paris and Falyn review the super cute and wildly inaccurate renaissance rom-com Ever After (1998), starring Drew Barrymore and her poor British accent. This retelling of Cinderella is charming, fun, and is devoid of any people of color. It's an American classic!

In a desperate bid for emotional relief, the gals attempt to focus on the things they are enjoying the most during this holiday season. After they talk shit, of course.

(Warning: This episode contains loud keyboard clacking, the crunch of Whoppers, and reallyreally bad Grinch impersonations. Listener discretion is advised.)

In order to distract themselves from the trials of 2020, Paris and Falyn have immersed themselves in the innocent and surprisingly nuanced world of Stardew Valley. In their first video game review, the gals discuss their lives as farmers and rank the residents of Stardew Valley from “Standard” to “Iridium” tier sex appeal.

Not all character introductions are created equal. Falyn and Paris must reconcile poop-related plotholes and exquisite writing style in this Summary & Review of The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V.E. Schwab. In one of their best episodes yet, the gals attempt to understand how even the most talented of authors are capable of “Capital ‘B’ Black” mistakes.

It took them a hot minute, but the girls have finally gotten around to their Summary & Review ofDeborah Harkness's surprisingly problematic fantasy novel,A Discovery of Witches. Paris leads the way through her world of magical, delicious-smelling, misogynistic, vampire yogis. Along the way, they discuss sexism, racial representation, and that one time Falyn dated a libertarian.

In an attempt to give themselves a break from reality (and more time to finish reading their current book), the gals dive into the 2005 movie adaptation of Jane Austen's classic,Pride and Prejudice.

Joined by their dear friend Maxwell Romprey, the gals discuss his recommendation:Sabriel, by Garth Nix. As they stumble their way through their Summary and Review,Max, Paris, and Falyn contemplate fantasy-realism, sex with magical cats, and whether or not 30-year-old men should write stories about young women.
