PHINEAS AND FERB!!!!!!

Y'all might know by now this is one of our favorite shows ever, and in thinking of fun episodes we can do for our patrons (especially as SAG-AFTRA goes on 100+ days of striking against AMPTP), we thought now would be a great time to begin a mini-patreon-exclusive series surrounding a piece of non-struck work (TV...

Shoutout A24 for continually slaying and (in addition to not being associated with AMPTP) accepting every single one of SAG-AFTRA's terms, thus allowing us to present you with this month's episode on Celine Song's PAST LIVES!!

From before I even sat in the AMC to view this stunning film, I knew it would be one of my top movies of the year. The good news is it's NOW STREAMING and we, of course, encourage you to watch it before listening to the episode. THAT BEING SAID, there's not a whol...

Stay tuned for something book/musical/music related and let us know if there's anything in particular you'd like us to talk about <3
