About this episode
The episode discusses the aftermath of a wedding in Les Misérables, focusing on character developments and societal issues.
Cw: reference to domestic and child abuse, discrimination against incarcerated people, Nemo and Stevie are together at long last! This week we stare at a wall! It's the day after the wedding and Hugo immediately comes at us with his usual gross bullshit. Valjean makes his confession because he’s a (stupidly) honest man, and Cosette is transformed into … “a woman”. Marius thinks he’s galaxy brained as he tries to make 2+2=5. This podcast was produced by Nemo Martin. The audio direction and intro composing is by JDWasabi. It is a Captain's Collection Creation.
