Andy and Dani talk about their love of myth. Andy got to make ambrosia in elementary school, a claymation a$$ titan movie, Dani accidentally takes a 300 level classics course, favorite Greek Myths, and we need to stop hating on Hades.

The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller

Andy and Dani talk Greek Mythology. It’s Dani’s birthday episode, will they pronounce all the names correctly, Tilda Swinton would make a great Thetis, rewriting a well known story, who brings up GoT this episode, and mother-in-laws. 

Andy and Dani talk about investigating new cities. Your quintessential local bar, Dani admits to joining Bumble BFF, Portland, Maine and mystery beers, you get what you get and you don’t get upset, everyone in Minnesota is a giant, and everyone should find an arepas place.

Silence of the Lambs written by Thomas Harris & directed by Jonathan Demme

Andy reads and Dani watches Silence of the Lambs. Dani thinks murder is a lot of work, did the movie do the book justice, no one here likes scary movies, books you’ve lied about reading, and marry, f*ck, kill.

*SPOILERS*

Andy and Dani yell about Ted Lasso. Can you tell they love this show, not watching a show just because it’s recommended, favorite scenes, favorite episodes, can the actors actually play soccer, and please hire Andy and Dani to be on the next season of Ted Lasso.

Dune by Frank Herbert

Andy and Dani talk for a long time about Dune, the book and movie. Dani had a hard time holding the book in her hands, Andy is a big idea guy, could Jake Johnson play Duke Leto, movie vs book, and did you like Paul?

Sorry we’re a day late, friends!

Andy and Dani talk about music. Has Dani really been listening to happy music, singing songs you know you can sing well… or can you, listening to music while wfh is very different than listening at the office, and don’t worry Andy still loves Ka.

There There by Tommy Orange

Andy and Dani read another very heavy book. Dani turns into the biggest English major nerd, realistic characters and conversations, will Andy bring up GoT, favorite quotes, and is this a top read of 2021?

Andy and Dani talk about the murder mystery genre. Dani starts talking about aliens immediately, mystery books are like math problems, Brad the unsuspecting killer, everyone should watch the movie Clue, and a murder mystery maid of honor speech.

Bluebird Bluebird by Attica Locke

Andy and Dani read a murder mystery. Every book should have one steampunk character, Andy is passionate about renaissance fairs, how many characters are too many, what character would you want as your Naked & Afraid partner?
