Dear Coconuts, 

With great power comes great responsibility. Therefore you have been warned, this episode is nothing but spoilers and discussing details we loved or not liked very much in all the Spider-Man movies! Only listen to this if you have already watched Spider-Man: No Way Home! There are moments where your jaw may drop with what Meral and Saman have said. We tried to avoid stating the ending but it sort of comes out! This episode has banter, laughs, sadness, dark humor, and salutes. Listen at your own risk! 

PS. Anarkali has been lost into the Spiderverse.

Dear Coconuts 

This has been a year for the books, in this new dystopian world we were currently living in, we had been reeling from the after effects of the first few waves of Coronavirus only to find out that its still mutating and we may have another lockdown. Went through environmental crises, important pop culture moments and so much more. Through it all, with all the noise outside we all did the best we could, spent time learning about ourselves such as the fact that we are stronger than we thought. Here's to hoping that 2022 will be a bit more gentle on our souls and on the planet!

Dear Coconuts,

It is a truth universally known that Meral is obsessed with The Umbrella Academy. In this episode, we talk about everything we loved about the show in its Netflix production of Season 1. Needless to say, this episode is sprinkled with spoilers so if you have not watched the season yet, do not listen to this! Gerard Way's comic book series has touched upon themes that tug on our adult heartstrings and this show is the perfect amount of chaos, cynism, love, and heroism!

The podcast by Robert Sheehan (Klaus), Tom Hopper (Luther), and Byron Knight is The Earth Locker Podcast (@theearthlocker on Instagram)

PS. This was made with a lot of love and control to fit within an hour! We hope you enjoy it! our PSA is our request you watch it!

Dear Coconuts,

In this episode, we discuss the painfully heartbreaking story of a woman who faced many difficulties in her life but managed to maintain her dignity through it all. In Khaled Hosseini's A thousand Splendid Suns we are introduced to Marium, who has a stoic personality that shows us we can face anything and no matter how hard it gets always persevere. Khaled Hosseini also shows us the beauty of a war-ravaged Afghanistan, the colors of the country, the strength of the common man and women, and the overall resilience of the people. It's a gorgeously written book and we recommend it to all our coconuts!

P.S. This episode is loaded with spoilers. You've been warned!

Dear Coconuts,

Mean Girls in its time was revolutionary, but what no one could have predicted was how important it will continue you be in the future. This movie not only shows us the cruel face of narcissism but also allowing us to appreciate how multidimensional humans really are. When you're young you are quick to see Regina as the main antagonist but as we get older we can appreciate that she was a victim of her circumstances too, with a superficial and childish mother, and a lot of pent-up anger. We are also able to appreciate some of the similar manipulation tactics used by Regina by Janice too. Overall, this movie was groundbreaking, providing a generation with amazing quotes such as "OMG Karen you can't just ask people why they're white"! LOL! The movie shows us what can happen if women work against each other, and how different it would be if they came together and didn't try to tear each other down. There would be peace. 

PS. Check out Meral being very passive-aggressive over her drain water iced coffee.

Dear Coconuts, 

When we say we missed y'all we really mean it!! We're bacckkkk from our unscheduled summer hiatus. A lot has happened since then so get ready for a whirlwind of stories. Hopefully these stories can reiterate that us humans are capable of anything, with a little bit of perseverance, some tears and a lot of prayers. 

Tell us how your summer has been, we will be active on social media again, and will be reading everything, so tell us how you've been, or how you have dealt with a difficult situation? 

P.s: Saman forgot to take my AirPods off so my voice might be a but muffled ( I'm sorry ) ill be careful next time! Also at 33min and then again at 40 mins the music in the background is an ice cream truck pls ignore it 

LOVE YOU ALL

Hey Coconuts!

We had an absolute blast watching Bo Burnham’s Inside. It’s on Netflix! Give it a look see and tell us what you think! In this episode we share our take on Bo’s insight of the world! One of the things we really learnt was that we don't have to have opinions about everything under the sun nor should we demand opinions from 'our influencers' because at the end of the day we are all students. 

PS. Meral’s mic was stolen by Anarkali which is why she sounds like she’s underwater. Also Juneteenth is banned in some states not countries!

Hey Coconuts, 

Recording this episode was a lot of fun, we went down a wormhole of how authentic inside out is to the actual way us humans see the world, and how our brains work. We had a chance to revisit our love for the star of the movie "Bing Bong", and our own imaginary friends whom we may have forgotten. This movie has reconfirmed the concept of toxic positivity for us. To live a good and content life you should be able to feel all emotions and acknowledge them, even if that means having a good cry from time to time. That will only make you appreciate Joy more.

Hey Coconuts! 

We are back!!! And decided to talk about one of our favorite trilogies: The Hunger Games! Anyone who knows the books and movies while being aware of the news knows that drawing parallels is an easy feat. We hope you enjoy what we discussed and there’s definitely a lot more that can be said about the books and movies. We tried to keep it a little light-hearted as we didn’t want to be Debby Downers! 

PS. Anarkali is still in season break but reminded us of her presence by popping up every now and then.

May the odds be ever in your favor!

Hey,

This episode is a bit different, its only talking about the vile events that have been taking place. We will also discuss and try to educate ourselves and our friends about the terminology being used. And lastly urge everyone to pray for Palestine and also lets not forgot that very real lives are being lost and a lot of them are children. 

Also note well that after we finished recording we also heard that the only Covid centre and lab in Gaza was destroyed in an airstrike. 

P.S: Part of our goal is that you have answers ready for people who don't understand what's going on, and are saying this is "too complex" of an issue for them to speak on, well we've provided you with a timeline you can explain it to them using that.
