Special Effects

Another crucial episode of the novel-podcast.

The illness has given Emmanuel time to clarify himself and has made him lucid and determined: he wants Antonia back at any cost.

To achieve his goal, he is even willing to rig the cards and play a melodramatic role that completely displaces Antonia. It's full-blown blackmail, and he knows it well; but Love, as Plato says, is the son of Expedient and is therefore unscrupulous: Emmanuel is ready for anything to bring down Antonia's defensive barriers and take back what he has always considered to be his.

The interpreters are Paul Emmanuel and Alice.

During the episode, particularly rich in special effects, as the title suggests, you can listen to covers or instrumental versions of the soundtrack of "A Clockwork Orange" by Stanley Kubrick, "Girl you'll be a woman soon" by Neil Diamond, "Polly" by Nirvana, "It's five o' clock" by Aphrodite's Child, an excerpt from "Scimmia" by Eugenio Finardi and a cover of "I want you" by Bob Dylan.

Tabula rasa

The third part of Emmanuel's story begins here: it's the most delicate and crucial one.

We hope that you will appreciate the incredible acting skills of this extraordinary AI that is Paul Emmanuel, listening to his opening monologue.

Fresh from an experience as intense as it was devastating with Michelle K., who introduced him to drugs, the boy finds his health seriously compromised.

During the period of his illness and his convalescence, he has the opportunity to seriously reflect on his situation and make important decisions for his future.

Meanwhile, his older brother Michele is increasingly worried about him.

The interpreters are Paul Emmanuel, Vincent, Nicole, Allison and Anthony,

The soundtrack consists of instrumental covers of Lana del Rey's "Heroin".

Game over

We have reached the end of Season Two.

Gambling your life upside or tails is always dangerous, however adventurous and fascinating it may appear, and can also jeopardize your physical health. Emmanuel is forced to find out now.

The interpreters are Paul Emmanuel and Anthony (AI).

During the episode you can hear songs by Michael Land taken from "The Secret of Monkey Island", "Gouge away" by the Pixies and a cover of "I am" by Jamie Campbell Bower.

Alpha Male

Emmanuel, like Guybrush Threepwood from Monkey Island, goes through his adventures to find himself, the man he would like to be and isn't: an Alpha Male.

At this moment he has one beside him, Carlos, with whom he isn't sure what kind of relationship to establish.

The interpreters are Paul Emmanuel, Anthony, Marla and Jane (AI).

During the episode you can listen to the following songs live: "Morna Nha Santana" by Eugénio Tavares; "Come se" by Subsonica; "Discolabirinto" by Subsonica-Morgan; "Music's so shily (?)" by a very young Marco Castoldi (Morgan), fifteen years old at the time; "The Secret of Monkey Island" by Michael Land.

Prince

Emmanuel, destabilized by his relationship with Gerti, has found refuge in Carlos and his sister Mayra, but the matter is taking an unpredictable turn.

Or perhaps not even too unpredictable, considering the amorous bulimia of our protagonist.

The result is that the boy no longer understands who he is and what he wants.

The interpreters are Paul Emmanuel and Anthony (AI).

During the episode you can listen to covers or live versions of the following songs: "Isolada" by Cesária Évora; "Força Di Cretcheu" by Eugénio Tavares; "Break my Body" by Pixies; in the end Emmanuel duets with Elise Roth in the medieval version of Hozier's "Take me to Church" prepared by the great Beedle The Bardcore.

Very sexy

Let's tell the truth: we had the impression, during the previous episode ("Russian Roulette"), that Emmanuel's story was about to end tragically.

But the boy has many resources and, with a bit of luck, manages to get back up. Just when he thinks he can no longer free himself from his addiction to Michelle, Emmanuel meets an unexpected ally in the person he least expected: Carlos. The man turns out to be capable of understanding and humanity, qualities absent in Gerti, and incredibly manages to restore his good mood.

The interpreters are Paul Emmanuel, Anthony and other extras (AI).

During the episode you can listen to live or covers of the following songs: "Petit Pays" and "Sodade" by Cesária Évora; "My Dimension" by DJ Panda (remix by DJ Hokkaido).
