2026/01/05

Send us a text At long last, we spearhead a new holiday tradition for IER: A Twelfth Night on the Twelfth Night. As we bid farewell to the holiday season and 2025, Jas, River, Conor, and Beth talk about the most recent Shakespeare in the Park production of Twelfth Night starring Lupita Nyong'o, Sandra Oh, and Peter Dinklage that PBS very kindly released on their website (and can now be found on the Internet Archive!), and the ways it is very gay and very gender, and the ways it coul...

Send us a text Happy Hanukkah to you dear listeners, and while we do not have eight specials to talk about this year, we do have three! From a lesser known TV movie based on a beloved picture book, to the millennial nostalgia of Even Stevens' spin on It's a Wonderful Life, to the truly enhappifying episode of The Ghost and Molly McGee, Jas, Shami, Chandler, and Charlotte have much to ponder as we come up with an echil-latke recipe.

2025/12/15

Send us a text December 16, 2025 is the 250th birthday of Jane Austen, and we at In Each Retelling are very very very sorry for celebrating this auspicious occasion with a film that fails as a not only an adaptation of her masterpiece, but also fails as an adaptation of the Melissa de la Cruz novel it was also based on, as a romantic comedy, and arguably even as a Hallmark Christmas movie! Join Jas, River, Ellie, and Gillian as we at the very least say this movie brought us all closer togethe...

2025/12/08

Send us a text Yet another Wild Card Wish has come to us in the form of OKZoomer cofounder Billy Roddie asking Jas to draw them a sheep...erm, I mean, asking us to discuss the animated film adaptation of The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupery. Join them as well as Sam and Ellie as we prove that a story need not be complicated in order to be deep, the perils and promise of growing up, and do our best not to get too bogged down by "matters of consequence".

Join a near perfect reflection of the Marches and Laurie, Jas, Sam, Gillian, Violet, and Conor, in discussing the ways this film updates (and arguably upgrades) the foundation Lou Alcott set, and how this story remains ever relevant to young girls.

Lynch/Oz

2025/11/29

Send us a text Dearly beloved listeners, we've gathered here to not just close out Oz Month, but to in some way eulogize one of the first great losses of an artist of this year, David Lynch. Join Jas, Ellie, and Todd in discussing the documentary Lynch/Oz, a deep dive into how Lynch was inspired by the 1939 film version of The Wizard of Oz, but also is a love letter to cinema in general. This is less review than a meditation on this film, and believe it or not, dear listeners, we managed to m...

Join Jas, Charley, Ella, and newcomers Sophie and DGil (one of whom is the one true naysayer of this beloved film in this episode) as we discuss whether or not making this single musical two movies was a good choice, gush over the performances, and ...

Join Ellie, Charley, Gillian, and Jas (with a cameo from Roxanne, who longtime listeners might recognize from our Mummy episode!) as we discuss how somehow Disney looked at the success of Wicked and missed damn near everything that made it the enduring success it is, from rampant misogyny, to not recognizing their main cha...

Surprise, dear listeners, we have an extra episode, and another wild card wish, this one from Wall Dweller Sam, and we're here to talk about the 2005 V for Vendetta that so angered Alan Moore that he never wanted to work with Hollywood again, but as far as Jas, Sam, Conor, Nick, and Gillian are concerned, it just keeps getting more relevant as time goes on.

Join Jas, Rhaps, and Wish Guest of Honor DND (and perhaps a surprise cameo for later...) as we discuss the undeniable parallels between this movie and a certain space wizard movie that arguably started the legasequel trend, the elephant in the room that is the first time thi...

Join her, Jas, Sam, Grady, and Gillian as we journey into the woods (and try to not make too many references to a certain musical) and discuss how this film brings the classic tale back to its metaphorical roots, the good, bad, and ugly of the various werewolf transformations, and celebrate feral girlhood.

Send us a text For our 100th episode (I know right?), the Loom Spectre of ABC's Once Upon a Time returns. The curse may be here on the show, but it's broken in Storybrooke, and that means what was a pretty solid formula is thrown all the way out of whack. Join four people whose brain chemistries were poisoned by this show at a young age, and the one sane person who saw this show for the joke it was as we discuss how the cracks present from the beginning really began to show here.
