SWEARS AND SPOILERS!

Morgan read the 1891 novel The Picture of Dorian Gray and revelled in the wordplay, for at least the first two reads.

Brent watched the 2009 movie Dorian Gray and rolled his eyes at a stylized, unrealistic view of the Victorian era.

I'll leave much of this episode to the superior eloquence of Oscar Wilde and his defence of his art, and aestheticism as a whole.

Oh no!

Morgan and Brent rerecord their promo with the new microphones and they try to be clever.

Does it work?

Probably not.

But I am experiencing cognitive dissonance and hitting publish and letting you guys deal with it.

Good Talk

Morgan goes over the life and times of Mary Shelley in under 10 minutes.

Blink and you might miss how awful Percy is.

In this mini episode, I am going to introduce the myth of Prometheus as it is so critical to Frankenstein or the modern day Prometheus by Mary Shelley.

I was going to retell the story of Prometheus the same way I first read it, in a 1920s children's adaption very similar to the kind I used to read at my Nanna and Grandpa's house when I was a kid. But I hadn't anticipated how woefully inaccurate this retelling would be. So instead I'm going to attempt to break the myth down myself.

This could be rough.
