              • 035: 90s Legacies - Matthew Perry and the Gospel of Jack Skellington

                What is your legacy? In the wake of Matthew Perry's passing, Alex the Rebel and Andrew the Saint look to the 1990s (and 790s) for wisdom on forming a personal legacy. Plus, tune in for a fresh batch of hot takes, including which Austen film adaptations are best and what Jack Skellington can teach us about evangelism.

                • Notable Mention: Sense and Sensibility (1995), Armageddon, Corpse Bride, Emma (2020), The Nightmare Before Christmas, F•R•I•E•N•D•S, Baby J; Beowulf: A Translation and Commentary by J.R.R. Tolkien; Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing: A Memoir by Matthew Perry
                  • Assigned Reading: Leaf by Niggle by J.R.R. Tolkien
                    • Editor's Notes: Alan Rickman is also in Sense and Sensibility. Watch it. | The Old English word for fate/doom/etc. is "wyrd." | Yes, Andrew pronounced Cynewulf wrong. | Tolkien proposed that there were real historical roots to the characters featured in Beowulf, though they had taken on a larger-than-life status in myth. His retelling of the "original myth" in Sellic Spell is an entertaining version that ties the story even closer to fairytales. -Andrew
