    RJ Fails the Voight-Kampff Test

    Megan and RJ are back (again)! And they swear it's really them and not a couple of criminal deviant androids. For real, they pinky-promise and everything. Join us for Philip K. Dick's Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? and discover the shame of electric pet ownership, the power of robo-snatch, and fun existential pranks to play on your friends.

    It's Not Easy Being the Green Knight

    It's Not Easy Being the Green Knight

    Um, hey, how's it going? Megan and RJ return from the void to bring you Sir Gawain and The Green Knight, a poem from Arthurian legend full of fun and games, including "Decapitation with Friends," "I'll Hunt and You Kiss," and "Please Have Sex with Me While My Husband is Gone." Megan gets accused of Horse Essentialism, RJ gets in touch with his inner Muppet, and Sir Gawain jizzes on a belt. Like, a lot.

    How the Grinch Got Cancelled

    How the Grinch Got Cancelled

    It's one fish, two fish, red fish, racism fish as we dive into the dark underbelly of Dr. Seuss (no, seriously). Learn which of his whimsical rhymes Have Not Aged Well and about his takes on Japanese internment camps, which were just always bad. Also: Sneetch Taint, Ted Cruz Fails to Understand Books for Babies, and why every Dr. Seuss book is better if you scream it in the voice of the guy from There Will Be Blood. I BIGGER YOUR MILKSHAKE, LORAX!

    Rent Owes Maya Angelou an Apology (and So Do We)

    We're blaming Rent: The Musical for mispronouncing Maya Angelou's last name all these years because we can. And because it's just another reason to hate Rent. We're also reading her poetry. That too. Join us and discover Angelou's cable-car aspirations, learn how to dance like you've got diamonds in your pants, endure Bad Takes from old white dude poetry critics, and RJ Goes On A Questionable Tangent About Barack Obama.

    The Divine Comedy Part 2: Take a Left at Lucifer's Junk, You Can't Miss It

    The Divine Comedy Part 2: Take a Left at Lucifer's Junk, You Can't Miss It

    Happy 4th birthday to us! What did we get ourselves to celebrate? Ah, nothing much, just the epic tale of two pedantic idiots fighting over possession of The Last Brain Cell as they make their dramatic journey to Hell and back (which happens to involve a massive, hemisphere-shaking ween). ...We're talking about Dante and Virgil. Not Megan and RJ. In case that wasn't clear. We DID buy ourselves one of God's Unlimited Pasta Passes though.

    The Divine Comedy Part 1: Dante Alighieri - Short, Shredded King?

    The Divine Comedy Part 1: Dante Alighieri - Short, Shredded King?

    ON!LC is back and we're taking things in a new direction: straight to hell! Specifically, the Inferno, as we lay out the biography of Dante Alighieri and the historical context for The Divine Comedy in the first of our two-part special. RJ ruins Lord of The Rings Forever, Megan genders some genres, and we decide that 2021 is The Year We Get Cancelled By Italians. We'll see you in hell (in our self-insert fanfic).

What a banger

The best days are oh no lit class days. I get to learn about all the classic books I didn’t read/understand and Megan and RJ are just a delight. And the cats. My cat appreciates them while we listen.

A great podcast!

Just discovered this podcast today, and after listening to one episode I am already hooked. Delightful hosts with a great premise who cover classic and no so classic novels, poems, short stories, etc in a really funny way. I hope they cover my favorite Arthurian legend fanfic The Once and Future King by TH White someday.
