  • Pride and Prejudice

    Pride and Prejudice
    Nov 24 2025

    Pride and Prejudice is a masterclass in how confidently we can be wrong about people.

    The story of two people who mistake their first impressions for objective truth, until the story forces them to confront who the other person really is.

    This episode digs into Austen’s brilliance at showing how believing you have infallible judgment isn’t wisdom...it’s a trap.

    Most of the art used in this episode is from Hugh Thomson's 1894 illustrated edition of the book.

  • The Sword In The Stone \\ King Arthur Origin Story

    The Sword In The Stone \\ King Arthur Origin Story
    Nov 11 2025

    Disney did you dirty.

    Because you probably think Arthur becoming king was as easy as pulling the sword from the stone. But the actual myth is way more complicated (and therefore, realistic?).

    Before Camelot, before the round table, there was just a boy who didn't know what he was destined to be, and with no idea the struggle he would have to survive in order to claim his crown.

  • The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde \\ Beware Your Shadow

    The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde \\ Beware Your Shadow
    Oct 28 2025

    "Man is not truly one, but truly two."

    It's one of the most famous gothic horror novellas, and it all started when Robert Louis Stevenson had a nightmare so vivid that his wife had to wake him because of his screams.

    The story that dares to ask the question: Is man good, evil, or both?
