Dear Coconuts, 

With great power comes great responsibility. Therefore you have been warned, this episode is nothing but spoilers and discussing details we loved or not liked very much in all the Spider-Man movies! Only listen to this if you have already watched Spider-Man: No Way Home! There are moments where your jaw may drop with what Meral and Saman have said. We tried to avoid stating the ending but it sort of comes out! This episode has banter, laughs, sadness, dark humor, and salutes. Listen at your own risk! 

PS. Anarkali has been lost into the Spiderverse.

Dear Coconuts 

This has been a year for the books, in this new dystopian world we were currently living in, we had been reeling from the after effects of the first few waves of Coronavirus only to find out that its still mutating and we may have another lockdown. Went through environmental crises, important pop culture moments and so much more. Through it all, with all the noise outside we all did the best we could, spent time learning about ourselves such as the fact that we are stronger than we thought. Here's to hoping that 2022 will be a bit more gentle on our souls and on the planet!

Dear Coconuts,

It is a truth universally known that Meral is obsessed with The Umbrella Academy. In this episode, we talk about everything we loved about the show in its Netflix production of Season 1. Needless to say, this episode is sprinkled with spoilers so if you have not watched the season yet, do not listen to this! Gerard Way's comic book series has touched upon themes that tug on our adult heartstrings and this show is the perfect amount of chaos, cynism, love, and heroism!

The podcast by Robert Sheehan (Klaus), Tom Hopper (Luther), and Byron Knight is The Earth Locker Podcast (@theearthlocker on Instagram)

PS. This was made with a lot of love and control to fit within an hour! We hope you enjoy it! our PSA is our request you watch it!

Dear Coconuts,

In this episode, we discuss the painfully heartbreaking story of a woman who faced many difficulties in her life but managed to maintain her dignity through it all. In Khaled Hosseini's A thousand Splendid Suns we are introduced to Marium, who has a stoic personality that shows us we can face anything and no matter how hard it gets always persevere. Khaled Hosseini also shows us the beauty of a war-ravaged Afghanistan, the colors of the country, the strength of the common man and women, and the overall resilience of the people. It's a gorgeously written book and we recommend it to all our coconuts!

P.S. This episode is loaded with spoilers. You've been warned!

Dear Coconuts,

Mean Girls in its time was revolutionary, but what no one could have predicted was how important it will continue you be in the future. This movie not only shows us the cruel face of narcissism but also allowing us to appreciate how multidimensional humans really are. When you're young you are quick to see Regina as the main antagonist but as we get older we can appreciate that she was a victim of her circumstances too, with a superficial and childish mother, and a lot of pent-up anger. We are also able to appreciate some of the similar manipulation tactics used by Regina by Janice too. Overall, this movie was groundbreaking, providing a generation with amazing quotes such as "OMG Karen you can't just ask people why they're white"! LOL! The movie shows us what can happen if women work against each other, and how different it would be if they came together and didn't try to tear each other down. There would be peace. 

PS. Check out Meral being very passive-aggressive over her drain water iced coffee.
