A couple with some pretty fundamental communication issues goes home to see the parents but it turns out she's still in the closet. Lots of holiday "fun" ensues with a ton of fundamentally annoying and miserable people. It still boggles my mind why this is called Happiest Season when most of the movie is spent with so many deeply unhappy people! Needless to say we spend a lot of time dunking on it.

Both Chloe and Val loved the book so of course we're here to give you a wonderfully chaotic interview with the author. Chloe rambles about ergodic literature and Abe Lincoln. Val asks some really thoughtful questions. Some major book spoilers just FYI!

We're back with act 2! This narratively and thematically-focused act stands in stark contrast to this episode where we're all over the place. Still, I think this is a fun one where Chloe desperately tries to understand the zaniness Val is up to.

Chloe caught Val playing 30+ hours per week. Val did not catch Chloe doing this but she was. We're obsessed with this extremely fun, extremely queer game. This week we're looking at Act 1.

This week we're talking about the 90s cult classic "But I'm a Cheerleader" directed by Jamie Babbit. Chloe digresses heavily into a random story about an opossum. Val tries to keep Chloe on task, failing miserably. For a 90s queer film, this movie holds up! You should watch it!

We're talking Girl, Serpent, Thorn by Melissa Bashardoust which is a pretty good sapphic fantasy novel inspired by Persian folklore. Val has some ideas on how to make the main character more likable. Chloe digresses a whole bunch. I think this is a more serious one, but it's really good I promise!

Chloe comes prepared with a list. Val is a bit more freeform. We discuss pros and antis, a topic that we are definitely qualified to engage in and certainly won't make anyone upset at us. Chloe laments the lack of lesbian Persona 5 fics while Val goes over Chloe's head on literary knowledge.

Val didn't completely finish reading the comic. Oh and Chloe had audio issues due to airplane traffic :(. But BUT dear listeners I think this might be our funniest episode? Or at least we were thoroughly entertained while making it and I hope that the goofiness shines through. This comic is great too! Read it at bvbcomix.com!

Discussion includes the Collector as a villain, Val's love of a good mean girl, and how much we love Luz's mom. Val confuses Star Trek for Battlestar Galactica. For shame, Val, for shame.

Chloe and Val, also two friends, go on a trip this episode as they debate whether this movie counts as a comedy or not. Chloe probably offends the British. Val claims to be the reasonable one in the show intro. Don't believe her.

Chloe hates on Percy while Val does her best to defend him and we debate the merits of mustache-twirling villains. Join us next week for The Legend of Zelda or The Legend of Sleepy Hollow or something probably.
