We Are Not Amused episodes

  • Spoiled Til Salt Won't Save Him

    Join us for our final episode about The Secret Garden! Today we're comparing the second half of the book to the musical and 1993 film adaptation. (Not a surprising spoiler...the book is our favorite version of the story, except that ending. Justice for Mary!!)

  • Soot or Suit?

    “Stay there in the garden, where love grows free and wild. Come to my garden. Come, sweet child.” While these lyrics are technically from The Secret Garden Musical, they feel quite fitting as we once again discuss The Secret Garden; however, this time we’re taking it back to the thing that started it all - the book by Frances Hodgson Burnett. Join us as we compare the book, the musical, and the movie, discuss some key characters who we meet for the first time, and learn once again that pronunciations are difficult for Taylor.

  • Ben? Dickon? Colin? Dangit!

    Into the garden we go...again! This time around, we're reviewing the 1993 movie adaptation of The Secret Garden. Tune in to hear us discuss the differences between the film and the musical, some strange casting decisions, and a super weird child-cousin romance.

  • Come Spirit, Come Charm

    This week on We Are Not Amused, Tressa and Taylor talk about The Secret Garden musical presented by The Barn Players. Join us as we briefly discuss the plot, talk about the real stars - the kids, and find Harry Potter references, because obviously. Come join us in the garden!

  • Nelson Atkins Museum
    Join us as we take you through our visit to the Nelson Atkins Museum in Kansas City to see their miniature portraits collection (and some bonus exhibits). This episode is a prime example of what happens when we try to record while being super sleep deprived, having a cat that high on catnip, and having obnoxious upstairs neighbors. Enjoy! 🤪

  • Delightfully Dotty

    Today on We Are Not Amused, we are reviewing the "delightfully dotty" film Murder She Said (1961) based on the novel by Agatha Christie. Turns out the author was quite unamused with this adaptation of her story—tune in to see if we agreed with her or not!

  • After Rose

    If you thought our last episode had some wild moments, you just wait until you've heard this week's episode! Part 2 of Aleister Crowley's life is where it really gets crazy. Tune in for more traveling, love affairs, and sex magic, but also (unfortunately) some Nazis and child abuse. (Told you.)
