On this episode, teacher and mythologist Natalie Rousseau joins me to discuss the 2024 Netflix show Kaos, which is a contemporization of various stories from Greek mythology. Natalie shares some of the source stories from Ovid including that of Canaeus, a princess who asked Poseidon to turn her into a man, and Dionysus as the disrupting liberator.

It Ends With Us is a film based on the book of the same name by Colleen Hoover. The genre is romance, but the content is domestic violence, which feels somewhat dissonant. We talk about DV, healing from trauma, and how It Ends With Us does some things right and some things very, very wrong. Plus a little actor drama.
