Anglo-Filles

Welcome to episode 71. The “we’re alive!” episode. We are, in fact, alive and we’re here to catch up on: The Avengers, Game of Thrones, Keanu Reeves, Robert Pattinson, Chernobyl, EL James, and Norwegian Royalty.

I promise the episode title makes sense in context.

Welcome to episode “nice!”, in which we discuss what we liked and didn’t like about Netflix’s Outlaw King, a movie about Robert the Bruce, starring Best Hollywood Chris. We also check in with some of Netflix’s other offerings in the realm of sexy history, and would you like to find out how much going to private (err… public?) school in Scotland would cost you?

And here to read Kayleigh’s review of Outlaw King on Pajiba.

Welcome to episode 68 (no, you didn’t miss episode 67, we’ll explain), our episode for July of 2018. Yes, I said July. Yes, I know what day it is. Don’t worry about it, as the great Jeff Goldblum once said, “Life gets in the way.”

We are one fille short, so are taking this opportunity to let you get to know one of us a little better. Get ready to hear about fancy dress, fancy food, harp playing, and a hungry cat.

Welcome to episode 66, which is three days late. (“But, Alina, isn’t this the April episode?” “I SAID THREE DAYS LATE.”) I promise it was worth the wait, as we’re once again joined by Cleolinda Jones! Today, we’re talking about the Star Wars films and murder bears that live in Cleo’s phone.

Here’s the link to Cleolinda’s live-tweet of her epic “watch the entire series in chronological order” project.

Here are the SF Debris specials looking at George Lucas’s journey to make the films: the original trilogy and the prequel trilogy.

And, as we wandered briefly into the topic, here is a collection of F/F and transgender romances, here’s a Twitter thread to check out.

Welcome to episode 65! Also known as the one in which Alina was sure she could find a great pun for the title, but then gave up and gave in to her stupidest impulse. The “double O” refers to the Olympics and the Oscars, two things that happened that we will dissect and discuss in this two-parter.

We’ll talk about the Olympics first, the post-Oscar wrap-up begins at around 1 hour 5 minutes into the episode.
