Sid Branca guests on this bonus episode about all things Phantom! We discuss the novel, film adaptations, and the stage musical.

Note about the production: This was my FIRST TIME recording in person since before the pandemic. I messed up a bit with setting up the mic and chose the wrong setting, which is why my audio doesn't sound the best. But this was such a good discussion I didn't want to scrap it! I did my best to make it sound ok. Thank you for listening anyway!

Screenwriter/streamer Carol Grant joins me for a review episode about Todd Field's new Oscar-nominated film! This is the first review episode about a movie I actually liked. We talk about themes of colonialism, power, lesbian masculinity, and reactionary politics. Listen to find out why we think Lydia Tár would defend JK Rowling.
