  • Enola Holmes: The Case of the Missing Marquess (2006)
    Jun 30 2026

    Brenna and Joe dip a toe into Nancy Springer's mystery series with the first Enola Holmes Mystery: The Case of the Missing Marquess (2006)

    This Middle grade text is deft, but surprisingly deep, particularly the way Springer uses women's fashion as a central component of the narrative.

    Plus: sexist Sherlock Holmes and Mycroft; a bad mother; and the novel's subtle, but specific historical/political context.

  • Labyrinth (1986) feat. Jes Battis
    Jun 23 2026

    Joe and Brenna are joined by returning guest Jes Battis to discuss Jim Henson's Labyrinth (1986) for its 40th anniversary.

    Jes literally wrote the book on the film, It's Only Forever: Labyrinth, which means this celebratory episode is filled with tons of insights into both the film and Jim Henson.

    Plus: 80s nostalgia; academia as goblin-world; our fave characters/puppets and songs; and, of course, the David Bowie of it all.
