WRQ 36 - Holes

00:00 / 2:05:43

We watched and read Holes, by Louis Sachar. Hey, did you know that they made a criminal justice system For Kids?

If you think about it, podcasting is just like digging a hole. You have to shovel the words out of your brain until you’ve made it all the way to the bottom of your Reaper recording. I’m good at metaphors.

Next time, we’re finishing up the LotR trilogy with Return of the King! Hope y’all are ready to climb Mt Doom with us.

WRQ 35 - Land of the Lustrous

00:00 / 1:37:37

We read Land of the Lustrous, a manga that really fuckin goes places.

Do you ever forget that your girlfriend exists for like a second? Do you ever feed your arms to a talking iceberg? Do you ever get digested by a snail, reconstituted from mineral particles in its shell, and then suddenly find that you can speak the snail’s language? Do you ever nap for 100 years? Phos does those things. They’re a pretty funny guy.

Next week, we’re covering Holes, by Louis Sachar. Book or movie version.

WRQ 34 - Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers

00:00 / 1:37:03

We returned to JRR Tolkien’s wild ride, with The Two Towers. A book where almost nothing exciting happens, but gosh darn it, we still love Samwise so so much.

I’m gonna be 100, I don’t actually remember too much of what happens in 2 Towers. Gollum shows up. Helm’s Deep happens. Sam and Frodo made me cry. That’s probably all the important stuff, right?

Next week, we’re covering Land of the Lustrous. Recommended reading is volumes 1-3 of the manga, with volumes 8 & 9 as extra credit. What if Steven Universe had a lot of body horror, and also contemplated how messed up it would be if you were immortal, and also at one point all human sapience in the universe is permanently eradicated.

WRQ 33 - Good Omens

00:00 / 1:37:18

We read Good Omens. Much like the angle and devil protagonists, this book has some good parts and some bad parts. And I think we can guess who wrote what.

We discuss the apocalypse, human morality, and whether Crowley and Azeraphael kissing is actually homophobic (it is).

Next week, we’re covering Lord of the Rings: the Two Towers, both the book and movie. The book made us all ask “Where is Sam?”

WRQ 32 - Star Trek: TOS (ft. Spike)

00:00 / 1:46:00

Folks did you know that sexism existed in the 1960s? Gene Roddenberry won’t let us forget. We watched Star Trek, with our lovely guest, Spike.

Hey did you know that Star Trek is bonkers? It has communist flower cum, medieval knights, drug-fueled phrenology benders, and womanly hysteria.

Next week, we’re covering Good Omens, the original novel. A book that puts the FUN in FUNdamentalist christianity.

WRQ 31 - Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring

00:00 / 1:44:43

We read/watched Fellowship of the Ring, and folks these silly little guys are in love.

What if a funny old man smoked a bunch of weed and told you surprise you have an evil artifact now and it needs to be destroyed in the fires of Mount Doom. What if your gardener overheard, and next thing you know you’re sick in bed and he’s holding your hand just to keep it warm haha.

Next week, we’re covering Star Trek (TOS). The legendary series that originated slash fiction. Suggested watching is S1E15 Shore Leave, S1E24 This Side of Paradise, S2E1 Amok Time, S3E24 Turnabout Intruder, with extra credit S1E28 The City on the Edge of Forever

WRQ 30 - Succession

00:00 / 1:55:40

We watched Succession, a show about billionaires being the worst people on earth, but you don’t have to feel bad about it because it’s fiction and definitely nothing directly mirrors real life haha.

TomGreg is a truly deplorable and abusive relationship, but at least it’s really funny to watch haha.

Next week, we’re covering Fellowship of the Ring, both the book and the 2001 movie adaptation. Truly hobbits are the original Funny Little Guys!

WRQ 29 - The Great Mouse Detective

00:00 / 1:30:34

We watched The Great Mouse Detective. A fun movie about two mouse boyfriends who hate each other. Also transphobia and racism. Thanks Disney!!!!

In this movie, Rattigan serenades us, Basil takes a selfie, Dawson makes up a name, and gravity is terrifying.

Next week, we’re watching Succession. Recommended viewing is season 1, episodes 1, 4, 6, and 8, season 2 S1:E1, S1:E4, S1:E6, S1:E8, S2:E3, S2:E4, S3:E4, S3:E7, S3:E9, S4:E3, and S4:E10

WRQ 28 - Cars 2

00:00 / 1:36:24

We watched Cars 2. Possibly the worst thing we have ever seen on this podcast.

This movie invented new types of racism. Even for a disney movie, that’s pretty impressive. We don’t even talk about queerbait much. We just watched this move ’cause it’s awful.

Next week, we’re watching The Great Mouse Detective, because Emory is back on their furry bullshit.

WRQ 27 - Polite Society

00:00 / 1:46:38

We watched Polite Society, the unofficial sequel to Hot Rod.

The film follows a funny little weirdo named Ria, who takes it SUPER NORMALLY when her sister gets engaged to be straight married a wealthy doctor. This is also a film about the world’s strongest uterus.

Next week, we’re watching Cars 2, a pro-eugenics movie from Disney and Pixar studios.
