Fifty Weeks of Grey

It’s time for another notebook roundup with Anthony and Ross. This week, the pair of them discuss missed talking points from weeks 11-19, as well as some news about the future of the podcast!

We also answer our first fan mail! And as always, it’s jam-packed with stupid jokes and dumb opinions.

We go in depth into our source material! No actually. We had someone read the book.

This week we’re joined by Garett! Who endured the unenviable task of reading Fifty Shades of Grey! We talk about the differences between the book and the film, get deep into our opinions, and learn who the real villain of Fifty Shades might be…

No longer satisfied with the lacklustre billionaires we see in Fifty Shades of Grey, Ross has devised a game. Enter Fantasy Court, where each of our hosts will propose an alternative billionaire to replace Christian Grey in the story of Fifty Shades of Grey! 

A gruelling debate across three topics - and one surprise category - Anthony, Milana and Ross will argue why their candidate would be the best billionaire for the story, best for the film, best for the world they inhabit, and most importantly, best for Anastasia Steele.

While Anthony’s mind unravels, it falls into a thin red string that he’s started to attach to random notes and pictures all around his apartment. He shares his thoughts on (potentially) the most dangerous (allegedly) character in the entire Fifty Shades of Grey universe; Anastasia’s mom.

Is she murdering her ex-husbands? Probably not. Does she plan to murder Christian Grey? Unlikely. Will Anthony subject Ross and Milana to his crackpot theory despite having no proof or even knowing this woman’s name? Absolutely he will.

Will they be convinced?

No.

We’re dedicating this week to supporting Black Lives Matter. Below you’ll find a list of resources where you can help support and learn more about the Black Lives Matter movement, as well as a list of some podcasts by Black Content Creators.

Here is a list of Anti-Racism Resources by Sarah Sophie Flicker and Alyssa Klein.

The Black Lives Matter At School movement is a network of educators dedicated to increasing the education about and discussion around race in educational systems. They’ve been compiling a wealth of resources that are free to access for anyone via this Google Drive, and it has resources for all grade levels, as well as post-secondary and adult learners.

It’s time we dive into the deep(ish) end and find out what’s going on behind the scenes of Fifty Shades of Grey! Anthony enables Amazon’s “X-Ray Vision” to find the salacious secrets, titillating trivia, and g-adjective goofs. The crew speculates on robotic cameras, The Weekend vs Rita Ora, and some place called “The Pit”.

Anthony is slipping further into insanity, while Ross and Milana remain thoroughly underwhelmed.

Hang on, what was digitally added in? 

We talk about our dream dates, dream breakups, and the worst jobs to have in the film industry. Milana takes the crew on a speed date complete with a list of wild Would-You-Rather questions scientifically designed to make Anthony and Ross uncomfortable.

If anyone was worried that we had stopped getting weirder, have no fear.

It’s time for hot gossip from half a decade ago! We learn what other hunks were considered for the lead role of Christian Grey in our favourite film, talk about cults, and reach out to our very close, very famous Canadian Celebrity Friends! We also put our knowledge to the test with a Quiz on how much we know about Fifty Shades of Grey to find out if Anthony is truly the expert that he claims to be. The results are NOT surprising!

We also raise beef with Change.org and TheQuiz.com - websites who have had it too good for too long.

In celebration of Midnight Sun being announced this week - the gang is up to something different! But just as stupid as ever!

50 Shades of Grey isn’t the ONLY movie we suffer through this week! Anthony, Milana, and Ross ALL watch the movie based on the book that started it all - Twilight (based on the novel Twilight by Stephenie Meyer).

Did we know about the new book being announced when we recorded this? You bet we didn’t.

Together they try to trace the DNA and inspiration of 50 Shades back to the source material, but eventually just wind up talking about sexy shiny vampires and sour-faced teenagers.

Anthony tells us about his obsession with trashy entertainment (outside of 50 Shades), Milana has dating advice, Ross has dating woes, and we pitch a hot new sci-fi spin-off. Somewhere in there we also discuss Week 12 of Anthony’s stupid quest.
