Mazes and Monsters with Adrian Daub
Added 2024-08-26 22:33:00 +0000 UTCWelcome to our Satanic Panic TV Movie Club! This 1982 movie (and the Rona Jaffe novel it's based on) was such a big part of the Dungeons & Dragons episode Adrian and I did that it seemed like we just had to talk about it here.
Mazes and Monsters is streaming on a ton of platforms (at least in the US), and there are also a few YouTube uploads. So please watch along with us if you feel like some '80s cheese, and let us know what your favorite parts are.

Thanks to Adrian for putting Elizabeth Freeman on my reading list

2024-10-07 12:43:21 +0000 UTCYes! I was listening while out for a walk and just repeated “fighter” out loud for about a block😂 Accents are definitely regional here. I’d say what’s more recognizable are specific words and turns of phrase.

2024-09-11 14:42:20 +0000 UTCYes, I always say the stereotypical “Canadian” accent is really Minnesota and the prairies

2024-09-05 15:18:40 +0000 UTCAs a person who use to dissociate a lot by escaping into imaginary worlds when I was a teenager and who struggled even more with chrononormativity, thank you for this episode (I felt weirdly seen). Adrian Daub is such a great guest, a book club with him about Children of the zoo station would be so interesting (I live in France and here too, the story of Christiane F. was used to terrify kids, it terrified me).

2024-09-04 14:32:09 +0000 UTCCanadian here... I just sat at the kitchen table wondering what IS my accent. Said "fighter" a bunch. That being said... There is no "Canadian" accent. The accent varies greatly depending on the region. You wouldn't talk to a Newfie and someone from Vancouver and say there is a similar accent that represents the entire nation

2024-09-01 20:35:51 +0000 UTCI thought for sure Sarah's Tom Hanks panic connection was going to be starting the satanic panic in pop culture with this movie and it ending with The Burbs.

2024-08-31 20:53:38 +0000 UTCI was going to skip watching but now that it's filmed in Toronto... I gotta see it. The Toronto accent really depends on if you're doing a "proper" voice or what immigrant community your suburb/neighbourhood is majority - Scarborough is very influenced by patois and it's the biggest former suburb.... drake does this weird like imitation of it but he's from a very upper crust, and mostly Jewish area. He honestly should have a similar accent to Geddy Lee. They're like two subway stops distance; him and Will Arnett (Canadians know all Canadians). The expanse of Ontario used "Buddy" to insult someone. Also like 50% or more of our universities have tunnels because cold; and they're all trying to rip off "English" universities or brutalist. Sometimes both. 75% both. My friend had to use the former morgue-to-research tunnel at McGill and like - why is that open??? That's haunted.

2024-08-28 21:26:27 +0000 UTCI love Tom Hanks in the 'Burbs as well which I feel like is a fun commentary on the Satanic Panic as well!!

2024-08-28 00:18:44 +0000 UTCI'm a West-coast Canadian, just like the USA has regional accents, we have ours. The far East Coast has strong remnants of Scottish-Irishness to them, Quebec is obviously French-accented, the prairies have a lot of redneck culture so they mimic the accents (and politics 😒) of Bible Belt southern states, and BC, more sprcifically Vamcouver region has a more flat generic American sound, its where a lot of American media is made

2024-08-27 17:52:43 +0000 UTCThis brought some memories back. My grandparents had this movie on VHS when I was a kid I watched it at their house. I think they bought it because my uncle (teen at the time) and my parents all played DnD, but it was a disappointing movie if you enjoy fantasy gaming. Years later my grandma played a DnD campaign with my parents. My family was very “renaissance fair people” growing up, including my grandmother and her sister. Great episode btw. Adrian is wonderful.

2024-08-27 13:50:40 +0000 UTCI want to play D&D with Adrian so badly. I'd even DM.

2024-08-27 13:43:43 +0000 UTCEvery episode, I think, "This guest is so delightful, I hope they come back." But I feel compelled to comment and say Adrian is so charming and insightful and funny and I would listen to anything the two of you talk about!!

2024-08-27 05:18:32 +0000 UTCSo, fun fact: Hagood Hardy, who wrote the theme for this movie, is also the composer of the score from the 1985 Anne of Green Gables mini series!! The queerness and Canadian-ness of it all! Also, I cannot believe that I know this.
