In which we begrudgingly appreciate an inconceivably convincing metafictional frame, discuss whether the movie is sometimes better than the book after all, and wound one of our own so deeply she is mostly dead by the end of the episode. All this and more as the Bluestockings discuss the book and film The Princess Bride.

Kat longs for the magical doors of Howl’s Moving Castle, Bee reaches for some pop culture comfort food, and Gricel returns! The lady nerds share feedback about Hairspray, discuss being kooky old ladies, and prepare for their battle of wits.

In which we wonder about what exactly they sell at the joke shop, long for the fashions of the 60s, and discover some timely social distancing dance moves. All this and more as we discuss the 1988 movie Hairspray.

Gricel crawls out of her hobbit hole, Bee recruits yet another member into the Pushing Daisies cult, and Kat announces it's Madison Time. The lady nerds share some Secret Garden feedback, discuss previous recommendations, and dance in joy over their next pick.

In which we discuss how children's literature has the power to shape our entire lives, rhapsodize about the romantic yet melancholic beauty of the moors, and wonder why west wings are forbidden. All this and more as the Bluestockings discuss the book and 1993 film The Secret Garden.

Kat explores the next, next generation and Bee finally finds her Austen hero. The lady nerds catch up and hear someone crying (or is it just the wind?).

In which we reveal our holodeck programs, do some feminist fawning, and wonder if Riker has been from the mirror universe this whole time. All this and more as the Bluestockings discuss the TV series Star Trek: The Next Generation.

The lady nerds look back on the works they discussed in 2019 and once again, in the spirit of the season, mercilessly pit them against each other to award “Sockies” in 10 categories. Happy Holidays!

Gricel makes an announcement, Bee tries her hand at extroverting, and Kat steps into her permanent, Permanent Host duties. The lady nerds discuss a new direction for the show, make some excellent recommendations, and invite you to take some tea... Earl Grey, hot.
