| 12/24/23 | Meditation: Is Die Hard a Christmas Movie? | Let it snow, listeners, because this is it - the definitive debate! We’re going to answer, once and for all, whether Die Hard (1988) is Christmas movie, with ABSOLUTE CERTAINTY… kind of.

Framing our conversation about the much-maligned films are questions about the nature of the Force, the balance of politics and fantasy escapism, and recurring narrative conventions.

| 10/29/23 | Episode 215: Midnight Dreary | The Fall of the House of Usher (2023), Egyptian Mythology & Poe | Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary… We’re back for a spooky Halloween special covering Mike Flanagan’s latest anthology outing for Netflix, The Fall of the House of Usher. This reworking of the bibliography of Edgar Allan Poe opens many avenues for discussion, including a focus on Egyptian mythology and burial ritual, the multifaceted symbolism of the raven, the role of the mysterious and ancient Verna, and the recurring themes of Mr. Poe’s iconic work.

This week, we take a close look at Moonrise Kingdom and its mythic and musical roots. What lies beneath the surface of this seemingly familiar story of star-crossed lovers? What makes the island of New Penzance such a unique place to set the scene?

| 4/30/23 | Episode 211: Family of Geniuses | The Royal Tenenbaums (2001), Greek & Roman Mythology | Join us, if you like, in the perfectly imperfect house on Archer Avenue, where lived the once—great Tenenbaums, a family of geniuses. A decade of failure has brought us here, the Tenenbaum children scattered across New York and the seas, and their father, Royal, at last estranged. What will happen when we get everyone back under one roof? This is the start of our mini-series on the works of Wes Anderson, everyone’s favorite symmetry-obsessed, pastel-painted auteur. In our exploration of The Royal Tenenbaums, we’ll uncover mythological and historical connections hidden in the pastiche.

| 3/27/23 | Episode 210: Heads Will Roll | Sleepy Hollow feat. Garden of Doom | There’s a little town upstate, a close-knit community - mainly Dutch - called Sleepy Hollow. The village is haunted by a terrible specter: the Headless Horseman. Only Ichabod Crane, a squeamish, yet sensible officer of the law can crack the mystery that plagues Sleepy Hollow - if he can avoid losing his head. Tim Burton’s Gothic melodrama Sleepy Hollow is a lush adaptation of the Washington Irving short story, ripe for exploration of its inspiration and deeper meaning - if there is a deeper meaning, that is. We talk about witchcraft, cardinals, feminism (maybe?), early American law enforcement, and the many headless horsemen of folklore and mythology. Joining us as we get to the bottom of this movie is returning guest Jeff Lippman, the host of Garden of Doom. Thank you Jeff for your insight!

If you could change the past, would you? If you tried, would you actually change the events or would you cause a new reality to spring into existence? If you live long enough pretending to be someone else, do you become the fictitious person?

| 2/5/23 | Midnight Myth Meditation: Mythology vs Folklore in Big Fish (2003) | It’s a Midnight Myth Meditation disguised as a two-parter, carrying on from last week’s conversation around Big Fish. What is the difference between folklore and myth - if, like 18 and 28, there’s any difference at all? Are Edward Bloom’s stories myths or folktales? Does it matter?
