Lock up your uncles, this week Kim and Alice are covering ‘Catherine Called Birdy’. Another example of a contemporary lens on a historical drama, we’re covering what they got right (casting, historically accurate flatulence) and wrong (most other things) in Lena Dunham’s adaptation of this medieval coming-of-age tale.

Kim and Alice interrupt their hamster funerals to bring you Bram Stoker’s Dracula, the campy 90s classic with award-winning rat costumes. We’re redefining ugly crying, discussing the frankly unreasonable number of nipples and Kim sounds off about Vlad the Impaler: the original Asian mum.

It’s chicken-blood time girls! While Kim’s off witching it up in another country, Alice is joined by Kirstyn and Ben from There’s Not Always a Twist. In this episode, they’re turning their attention to The Crucible; the witch-trial thriller based on Arthur Miller’s play. We’re talking about hysteria, how the play links to McCarthyism and comparing the film with the Inside No.9 episode, ‘The Trial of Elizabeth Gadge’. Plus Alice’s horrifying theatre camp experience, and Daniel Day-Lewis’ construction skills.
