179: The Princess Bride with Aoife Barry

Juvenalia ·

2023/08/10

Writer and broadcaster Aoife Barry returns to the podcast and she’s brought one of the big topics, one we assumed would have come up at some point in the previous 178 episodes but it’s here now and that’s the important thing. It’s Rob Reiner’s The Princess Bride! We enthuse wildly about the film before jumping into a discussion about the types of films Hollywood is willing to make now. It’s a great hour. Aoife is @SweetOblivion26. Aoife’s book Social Capital, which is excellent, is out now. Alan

Sarah told us about the Tower Of The Sun in Osaka. Alan told us about Terry Pratchett and Stephen Baxter’s Long Earth series, and Andrea told us about Ryan Gosling’s 2009 folk-horror-doo wop album Dead Man’s Bones. We hope you like it.

Juvenalia ·

2023/03/02

The Juvenalia Christmas Latetacular 2022

Juvenalia ·

2023/01/04

Ok, so we definitely thought we had this scheduled to go up over Christmas but we just came back from our holidays and it turns out we messed up. Sorry. You’re probably still making your way through all the Christmas specials from other podcasts anyway so what’s one more eh? Alan and Sarah have never seen It’s A Wonderful Life. Sarah and Cassie have never seen Die Hard. Alan, Sarah AND Andrea have never seen The Holiday so we decided to watch all of them and see what the fuss was about. (Spolier

Juvenalia ·

2022/12/08

It’s the winter time do we’ve got some more recommendations for you. Not, I repeat, not Christmas recommendations. You have to follow your own bliss at Christmas. No, instead Alan and Sarah are here to talk about things that feel wintery-but-not-Christmassy to them. Things like Windwaker, Sigur Ros’s (), Mulled Wine and Nigella’s Roast Chicken, Twin Peaks, and Mount Eerie. Extremely un-festive we’re sure you’ll agree. Alan is @alan_maguire.
