Ep. 28 - Thom Misses Moiraine, Please Come Back (A Crown of Swords)

Explicit content warning

09/15/21 • 76 min

Hannah and Laura take a trip down memory lane and discuss mix CD's, pre-ordering books, high school dress up days, and the age of flip phones. Ahhh memories. Laura thinks Iron Man 3 was the best of the Iron Man movies and has serious issues with Rotten Tomatoes reviewers and the fact that Nick Fury was not present, her most important factor. Hannah feels a little pressured and anxious whilst reading The Return of the King, but is still moving toward Mordor.
We learn that Laura is a night owl and Hannah is a midday macaw (this is a horrible bird reference but work with me, people). While discussing the women in A Crown of Swords, we realize that the women characters are more problematic than we previously thought. Reminder for Laura's mom: do not listen to next week's episode.
Hannah does say that 10 Things I Hate about You as How to Lose a Guys in 10 Days.

Ep. 27- Sorry You Had to Hear it Here (A Crown of Swords)

Send us a text

Laura is still on her Marvel journey, and some are hits and some are definite misses. She also enjoyed a really great documentary on Netflix which sparked a good discussion on the representation of women in media. Hannah gives a great imitation of one of her favorite people, Selena Gomez, and shares how she feels about current romantic comedies. Hannah has been jamming out to Kacey Musgraves and Laura to...BTS. We break the rules this week and discuss some women along with the men because we have issues with the character portrayals in A Crown of Swords. Spoiler: Hannah still hates Gawyn.

This week we covered some Wheel of Time fan fiction with our friends Sara and Lilly from FICTION FANS PODCAST! We were so thrilled to have them join to talk all things silly, sexy, and weird in our brief introduction to Wheel of Time fan fiction (and Lilly's introduction to some of The Wheel of Time nonsense). "We laughed exactly as much as we were intended to." Laura and Hannah discuss blind spots and Hannah serenades the girls to Teenage Dirtbag. She apologizes. You can find the stories we talked about below.
Reminder to Laura's mom: Don't listen to this episode.
