Ep21: Brad Pitt and the Nightmare on Tom Cruise Street

Welcome back to EYE! Join us as we explain and thoroughly complain about Interview with the Vampire… the cinematic, uh, hype, from 1994. “There’s nothing pensive about Brad Pitt…” and yet, come, friends, let us tell you why we sympathize! Warning - this is a Nandor the Relentless stan account, and not a Tom Cruise fan account.



S/o to Meredith Bull for her haunting cover on TikTok of Bullet with Butterfly Wings by the Smashing Pumpkins!!

Ep 19: Dante’s Whole and Swole Song of Fire and Ice

Welcome back to EYE! Join us as we hash it out over our September novel, "Mexican Gothic" by Silvia Moreno-Garcia. Let’s just say, the nomenclature was indeed accurate. Bonus content — we heard the book is turning into a Hulu show, so we saved the casting directors some trouble and picked out our main cast!

Ep 18: The Mentally Metal Gymnastics of Repurposed Goths

Welcome back to EYE! We're loudly greeting Spooky Szn this September with our book of the month, "Mexican Gothic" by Silvia Moreno-Garcia. Today’s Prep-isode (get it…?) will spotlight several crucial elements to enrich and support your reading of "Mexican Gothic" along with us. Moreno-Garcia’s gothic horror novel is an onion of dark symbolism with parallels to disturbing historical truths. Check out this episode to reveal the Word(s) of the Month, motifs and symbols, and our really chaotic dissection of the main characters’ names. Is the nomenclature accurate?!

Ep 16: Blazing Confessions and French Ass Words ~research your authors~

cw: suicide/ neglect/ abuse/ self harm/ mental health/ manic depression

It’s Book Prep Week! This week we spotlight the late, great poet Sylvia Plath, author of our book of the month: The Bell Jar. Plath’s tumultuous and short life serves as the resource from which she pulled the content of this novel, which we discuss today. Word of the Week (Month?) is also back today, with a dark twist and a root word that accidentally serves as a motif throughout the discussion.

Stay tuned for our next episode, our deep dive into and underneath The Bell Jar.
