Episode 133: TAOT Coraline - The Book #3

January 24th, 2024  |  1 hr 4 mins

The final episode covers all the rest and of course includes our final thoughts. Strap in to join the good fight and see what wonderfully random tangents we come up with this time. And do let us know if you are team pineapple on pizza or if you are maybe even team banana on pizza.

Episode 132: TAOT Coraline - The Book #2

January 10th, 2024  |  53 mins 43 secs

Remember how Vero said we never shut up? Yeah, she was right. Part Two is obviously not the final part, we barely make it through chapters 5, 6 and 7.
Join in for the juicy middle part, where we get puns, debates, tangents and so much more.

Episode 131: TAOT Coraline - The Book #1

December 27th, 2023  |  1 hr 9 mins

After talking endlessly about Coraline, the movie, we can't move on without getting deep into the book as well. Part One covers the first four chapters.

Episode 130: TAOT Coraline - The Movie #3

December 13th, 2023  |  1 hr 18 mins

The final part of our Coraline coverage! And oh myyy are you in for something. We realise we don't dislike a single character in this (how weird), we feel with and for Coraline, we keep praising the Cat, we debate if just maybe the other Mother is simply misunderstood, we theorize about the potential locations of the parents, Lina continues with her great theory that Vero hates and at the very end Vero gets to make some predictions about the Book.

Let us know if you watched along with us, if you knew beforehand and if you already have read the book.

Episode 129: TAOT Coraline - The Movie #2

November 29th, 2023  |  1 hr 14 mins

Spoiler: we did not manage to finish it this round. So enjoy the juicy middle part of our Coraline coverage, where we talked about penis shaped flowers, ponder if the other Mother truly loves Coraline, Lina keeps harping on about her theory, we debate if the other puppets eat, argue about the reasoning of Shakespeare, make up a few solid theories together and find more layers to this than you probably wanted.

So, hopefully you will have fun!

Episode 128: TAOT Coraline - The Movie #1

November 15th, 2023  |  1 hr 22 mins

Before we get started on the next series, we really wanted to talk about Coraline. Not only because it is an amazing movie, but also because Vero had never seen this one!
So strap in for Part One where we manage to cover half an hour of this movie...
We have THEORIES, we have OPINIONS and because we are us, we also have TANGENTS. (If you want even more tangents, you need to listen to the bonus stuff).
Let us know what your first time experience watching this movie was!

Episode 127: TAOT Stardust - The Book #3

November 1st, 2023  |  1 hr 29 mins

Welcome to the final episodes of Stardust the Book! We had a lot to say, not just about those final chapters, but also about how book and movie compare to each other. Please let us know if you prefer one over the other and if yes, why!

Episode 126: TAOT Stardust - The Book #2

October 18th, 2023  |  1 hr 20 mins

Time for the second part of Stardust The Book, the middle part, the juicy part! We obviously did not finish the book, there will be one more episode!
We make it all the way from Chapter 4 and finish Chapter 7 but because Lina was melting in her soundbooth, we stopped one more time.
Join us for the usual amount of debates, chaos, tangents and hilarity!

Episode 125: TAOT Stardust - The Book #1

October 4th, 2023  |  1 hr 5 secs

After covering Stardust The Movie, we kinda had to do the book - especially since Vero had never read it! We expected this to be long-ish but it still turned out much longer than we thought - so strap in for a ride ;)

In this first one we cover Chapter 1, Chapter 2 and Chapter 3 - simply because it was a perfect spot to take a break.
We hope you enjoy our second book coverage as much as we enjoyed reading and debating every single detail!

Episode 124: TAOT Good Omens Summoning 2

September 20th, 2023  |  3 hrs 1 min

The timeth hath commeth againeth - and while these episodes tend to be long, this one got reeeeeeal long. Double the length of the previous one! And we weren't even drinking this time around...
There is talk about the best and worst character, our favourite relationship, the copious amounts of bonus material on Amazon, debating what effect spoilers had on us, analysis of Opening and Outros, comparing season 1 and 2 and of course wild predictions for season 3!
We hope you enjoy these THREE HOURS listening to us slightly losing our minds (the actual recording took over 5 hours because we are us and also there is bonus material hinthint )

Episode 123: TAOT Good Omens S2 E6

September 6th, 2023  |  2 hrs 15 mins

This is it. This is the finale. It's a long one. And it's an emotional one. There is joy, there is anger, there is laughter and there are tears.
We also somehow managed to have technical issues in the first 12 minutes, we apologize for that, Vero's audio gets a lot better after that.

Episode 122: TAOT Good Omens S2 E5

August 30th, 2023  |  1 hr 58 mins

This weeks megasode is here, and this time it's not in the episode of the show, it's the episode of the podcast! As we're gearing up for the finale, our predictions and guesses are getting wilder, and possibly more accurate.

Episode 121: TAOT Good Omens S2 E4

August 23rd, 2023  |  1 hr 41 mins

We really were not kidding when we said it will only get longer. Get ready for a lot of honest opinions, Aziraphale specific, because we were not the happiest beans. HOWEVER! We also had a lot of fun, came up with some more theories and had some good times with Amazon subtitles!

Episode 120: TAOT Good Omens S2 E3

August 16th, 2023  |  1 hr 29 mins

As the story enravels, Vero looses her mind multiple times, over David Tennant's accents, actor choices and more. Lina on the other hand gets grumpy and frustrated with Aziraphale's behaviour.
We both sing praises to side characters and come up with brilliant alternative episode names and great cosplays.

Episode 119: TAOT Good Omens S2 E2

August 9th, 2023  |  1 hr 32 mins

CHAPTER TWOOOOO! If you thought the last one was chunky, strap in, because we have a feeling these are not gonna get any shorter.

Episode 118: TAOT Good Omens S2 E1

August 2nd, 2023  |  1 hr 26 mins

IT IS OUT! For the first time in history of TAOT we truly don't know what's to come, so please, enjoy our wild theories, because episode 1 is giving us all the questions and no answers!
Vero shares some wild theories, while Lina shares her frustration. But everything comes together in the end and the HYPE is real!!!
