We did it!! We finally got our episode on Deirdre Sullivan's Perfectly Preventable Deaths and Precious Catastophe recorded and posted!
I mean, the girls have much to share, with at least 60% of said sharing being on how much we LOVE Deirdre, seriously she is the actual best, we cannot.
But if we were to try to quantify what it is we have to say in this episode, we've got:
- Which do we like better – the humour or the lyricism? The question that nearly tears the friend group apart (not really)
- Mamó being an actual beast and then the wise woman archetype in general
- Predatory behaviour and how it’s permitted to just exist because we don’t really have the toolkit to combat it
- Ownership of human souls being a focus, and the main threat in both books
- The strength of sisterhood being the main power that fights that threat
- And of course, the most important erotic chimney metaphor of recent times
Tangents? I don't know if we did go on any tangents... (JK OF COURSE WE DID):
- Chloe’s been 공부해ing her Korean
- Clee’s trapezius muscle is still terrifying
- Saoirse and Sarah geek out considerably about Dwayne The Rock Johnson and lament the loss of Glenn Greenwald to sad, sad media criticism
- Astroworld and whether the Kardashians are agents of evil or women being real about the time, money and medical expertise involved in maintaining that body type
- How Chloe says the word “elegant”
- LC’s sister’s sexy, sexy BTS fanfic. Again.
- Irish death notices on the radio (no it’s NOT weird)
- Chloe’s Granny Nolan is beyond terrifying
- You can make Katie understand almost anything by comparing it to Series 7 of The Simpsons
- Of course following that we go on quite the tangent about the words “embiggen” and “cromulent”
Like...that's enough isn't it?
