Literary Merit episodes

  • Happiest Season

    We took a few weeks off, but we watched the lesbian Christmas movie so that makes up for it, right? Also, Alex blinded me with science, and Ashley is craving the flave.

    53 min
  • Troy and Modern Mythology

    We can't stop playing Hades, so we decided to put the mythology hope to use and watch Troy (2004). What do these modern retellings tell us? Also, Alex doubled down, and Ashley found a new masterpiece.

    1 hr 2 min
  • The Fall

    At long last, Ashley has seen The Fall. If you haven't, you really, really, really, really should. Also, Alex found flavortown, and Ashley got precocious. 

    1 hr 19 min
  • Quarantine Round Up 2

    Listen, we're all having a hard time. Sometimes you just need to rewatch some old stuff. Also, Alex had fun with shapes and Ashley uncovered history's mysteries.

    48 min
  • Atomic Blonde (with Leonora!)

    While everyone else is talking about that other (extremely good) Charlize Theron action film, we watched one from a few years ago that many people passed on. Watch out Keanu, because we're here for the Theronaissance.

    Check out Leonora on twitter and Letterboxd:

  • Doctor Sleep

    As we continue our great HBO adventure, we have arrived at the film adaptation of Doctor Sleep. And Ashley has now determined she's never, ever going to watch Ready Player One. Also, Alex joined the wild rumpus and Ashley found some big old holes.

    1 hr 3 min
  • Watchmen (HBO)

    We watched Watchmen.

    Get it? Also, Alex chased a mystery and Ashley enjoyed a refreshing drink.

    1 hr 12 min
  • Blood Machines

    Black trans people are one of the most vulnerable populations in America. During Pride and every other month of the year, please consider giving your time and/or money to support this community. Black Lives Matter. (The Marsha P. Johnson Institute: https://marshap.org/about-mpji/)

    Also, we watched a weird series(?) called Blood Machines.
