Bread & Barricades: A Les Mis Podcast

Cw: discussion of ableism, paedophilia and colonialism, 

In an alternate world, Ariel and Nemo would be running a Disney podcast. As it is, you’re stuck with us, talking about Les Mis, until such time as Dark!Benji and Autumn rise. We start with some disability theory, Hugo’s ghost permeates all, some ruminations on the podcast. Also, Les Mis is a comedy when it’s at its best.

Cw:  referenced sex work, death mention, Hugo the lolicon

We attempt to solve the sexy mystery of Chad Sexy Garden versus Virginal tick Garden, we get Hugo’s opinions on the education of women and Catholic schoolgirls, and Jean Valjean is a prolific reader (aka Autistic King). We touch upon some complex thoughts about Cosette, who she is, and how we talk about her.

Cw: mention of death in childbirth, Nazi mention, genocide mention, disability discussion, ableism mention, sexual content 

That’s right it’s another Voltaire-heavy episode because once the obsession starts, it just won’t stop. We’ve got catty gossip, disability privilege, and we have more sad fanfic ideas for our boy Fauchelevent.

Nemo quotes a lot from the book ‘Passionate Minds’ by David Bodanis, a biography of Emilie/Voltaire.

Cw: abortion as metaphor, depression mention, conversations about incarceration, NSFW conversations

Slutty slutty Javert is back, and he’s got a criminal to catch and a jail of men to get secrets out of. We then move over for some Daddy Beef and little Gremlin action, and then we become drunk girls in a bathroom telling Eponine she can do better.

Cw:  racism (specifically anti-Blackness and slavery discussion), Christianity and colonisation discussion, sex work mention, misogyny, grooming mention, 

We start off with a mini-special, looking at reviews of Les Mis that came out in the South of the USA in the Civil War, including the most radical takedown of Marius we’ve ever seen, before finally bringing the story back to the barricade boys, including that good, good E/R food.

Cw:  imperialism, conversation about “savages”, and “darkness”

Our final foray into Hugo’s sexy twink, REALITY. This :) book :) is :) relatable :) as we talk about monarchy, poverty and communism in a week where the UK celebrates the Queen’s Jubilee. Glad we :) live in the future :) and none of Hugo’s issues are current issues :))

Cw: extended conversation about war, protests and revolutions, transness, COVID, paedophilia mention, 

This week we talk about sheds for a bit, which becomes relevant, for sure. Stevie is a man of the people, we push through chats about Enj’s pepis and Nemo tries real hard to concentrate as we learn about a “few” pages of grossly relevant history and his thoughts on REALITY.

Stevie lays their plans for their one man panto, continues to have a breakdown over their cop boyfriend, Javert, and we watch the ultimate police procedural full of 100% hot people. Also, a revelation about Javert’s canonically being gay…

Cw: suicide mention, familial loss, racism inc anti-Indigenous and anti-Blackness, vivid description of branding, 

Nemo and Stevie are perhaps their most feral this episode. They start out as sewer rats, Valjean is trapped in a trap and becomes the Batman, and Nemo wins their great, 4-year-in-the-making con.

Cw:  child abuse reference, suicide reference, 

Stevie, Nemo and Marius are brave little meow meows. Stevie remembers their obsession with lighting, we think about some long… sharp… sticks, and there’s a clown car of boys. We also get into a conversation about who Valjean’s actual foil is.
