In this episode, Matt David is still not present and is dealing with international relocation shenanigans, so Matt Donald brings in recurring guest co-host Christina Eilert for the third week in a row, and this time we're talking about our favorite tropes in fiction and narrative storytelling. What is a trope specifically? What are different ways a trope can change a narrative? What makes certain tropes satisfying? What kind of funky magazines does Christina write at? We discuss it all, while barely going into all the various tropes we COULD go into (that would be a multi-day episode) and talk about Spider-Man, Shrek, Corpse Bride, and Hercules.
