PODCAST

In Each Retelling

The podcast where we explore how old tales are made new! Whether it"s the fairytales we heard as children, the classic literature we read in high school, or the most ancient of mythologies, it seems creators can"t help but keep putting their own spin on old stories, and we"re going to tackle every flavor we can get our nerdy hands on.

V for Vendetta

2025/11/05

Send us a text We do indeed remember, remember the 5th of November...but it has very little to do with the actual Guy Fawkes. 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. The followi...

Join Jas, Leif, Gillian, and for the very first time Daelen in exploring the ways this movie provides some cute yet macabre shenanigans starring Scooby, Shaggy, Scrappy, and the daughters of our beloved monsters...

Send us a text It's time for yet another Monster Month Wish, this time our very first legasequel, and our very first time discussing the Ghostbusters franchise, which of course has never caused anyone any problems, right? 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...

Send us a text Monster Month 3: Dream Warriors in the Underworld continues with Amy's wish for us to cover The Company of Wolves. 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.

Join Jas, River, Gillian, and Alex as we do our best not to start crying about this movie by cheering on the brutal not-life to fascists, and whether or not the monsters in this movie attract your average Monster Lover!

2025/09/30

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.

Send us a text One Tuesday, September 16th, If Looks Could Kill, a novel about Jack the Ripper facing Medusa (or rather, many Medusas) hits bookstores, and Jas had the pleasure of speaking with author Julie Berry about what inspired her to have these two titans, one from myth, and one from history, collide, and the themes and messages that both she and I hope readers will be sinking their teeth into as they read her story.

Send us a text We make a proper return with Grady's first wish episode on the 1991 Oscar Winning film The Fisher King. Join Grady, Jas, Leif, and Gillian in our discussion of the sincerity and stylization that makes this fable of friendship, love, and redemption a true wonder, and in crying over how much we all miss Robin Williams. If you haven't seen this film, or find yourself skeptical of the premise, this is one rare time where I'm saying in the description, do yourself a favor and give i...

Here, Jas, Grady, and Kyle Kallgren of Brows Held High fame discuss the ways this film was ahead of its time, the ways in which is was, unfortunately, very much of its time, and the ways it has impacted science fiction as we know it today.

Send us a text We begin our voyage among the stars with Addie's first wish, in which she has chosen to share with Jas and Sam her favorite flavor of comfort trash, the 1998 Lost in Space, which in itself is an adaptation of the hit TV show, which is itself a science fiction reskin of The Swiss Family Robinson, which is itself a take on Robinson Crusoe, you get the idea right? Join us as Addie enjoys our suffering through a surprisingly dull movie that lacks the heart that its youngest charact...

Join Jas, Ellie, Sam, River, and Violet as they discuss how this YA novel by Laura Pohl (please do not take this personally, we know you're on Tumblr) didn't end up working for any of us.
