    For this episode, we're covering the late international treasure, Julian Sands and reviewing 'Warlock' from 1989. Linda apologizes to Lord Wandsworth College. Our special guest, Donnie (from Cage's Kiss and Donnie's Reviews) shares that he could get behind Julian Sands, but we all know it would be the other way around. Jane takes a stand against characters who harm animals in movies. Linda shares some info on Julian Sands and too much information about her proclivities.

    We're finally wrapping up on 'The 10th Kingdom'! Jane talks about the amazing book version of 'The Princess Bride' (you can acquire a copy from a local bookshop at https://bookshop.org/shop/broomflicks), the cringiest scene, the real VIPs of the series, and wonders if the best lines (usually from the troll sibs) are ad-libbed. Linda talks about her appreciation of the series portraying mental illness is a non-magical way, super wolf-man sperm, and magical abortions!

    Jane saw a production of 'Into the Woods' by Seattle's 5th Avenue Theatre and gives her review!

    T10thK, Ep 4: It's Not a Prediction, It's Murder

    We covered the penultimate episode of The 10th Kingdom! We're almost there! In this episode, we discuss the mighty stealth skills of Rutger Hauer (The Huntsman), the moral ethics of kissing lessons, inappropriate dreams, diggy diggy'ing holes, the return of the troll sibs, the worst engagement ring ever (and the MVP of the episode - a fish), and a better (though darker) alternate ending to the series. Also, we discuss the plight of actresses who do not fit society's ideal mold and the wonderful Camryn Manheim!

    Beauty & the Beast (1991): That's Too Many Eggs!

    We honor the life of the wonderful Dame Angela Lansbury by covering the original, animated version of 'Beauty and the Beast.' Of course, we diverge into a chat about how amazing 'The Righteous Gemstones' is before going into the original story behind the film and some interesting trivia (do you know who else auditioned for Beast?!) For a more in-depth discussion about Dame Angela Lansbury, listen to our first episode 'Eggland's Best' where we cover 'Bedknobs and Broomsticks'...just please remember that it's our first episode and have mercy.

    A History Lesson on the Romani ("Gypsies")

    We know it's been a while - we plan to get more consistent in 2023. Jane had a baby and Linda still has chronic fatigue and was preparing for some time off from work. Since we covered the episode of 'The 10th Kingdom' wherein a group of 'gypsies' were portrayed as bad guys, Linda's been promising to research the Roma and record a minisode. Well, here it is! Learn about the history and struggles of the Roma people.  WARNING: it's a huge bummer. Sources: Craig TM; www.opensocietyfoundations.org (they have a great video on YouTube); the European Roma Rights Centre (errc.org); the Health and Human Rights Journal (hhrjournal.org); The YouTube channel Chronicles of India; www.LiveScience.com; and the Roma Activist, Grassroots Coordinator, Community Organizer Nicu Dumitru.

    T10thK, Ep.3: God Save Queen

    Linda and Jane discuss episode 3 of 'The 10th Kingdom,' wherein Wolf is on his monthly cycle and creates a creepy energy with the ladies; everyone's hoping the wishing well will be a gusher again; an ungrateful magic bird gets prissy; and  Virginia shows what an awful person she is by assassinating the memory of Queen, trying to convince Wolf that her and her dad literally leaving him to die would be an acceptable thing, and slut-shaming young shepherdesses (one which is a murder victim). Yeah this one was CRINGY.
