In Episode 19, Abigail and new guest Brendan get down and greasy with steampunk romance! There's cringe, there's a lot of history, and there's plenty of bullshit theorizing about sugarcoating subversive themes so people actually pay attention. The featured book is Meljean Brook's (AKA Milla Vane) THE IRON DUKE! Special mentions go out to Will Smith's genitals in Wild Wild West, gummy vitamins for moral improvement, and mini bustle skirts.
