Happy Oatly's-On-Thin-F*cking-Ice Day! 

This week, Elyse tackles Once Upon a Time, discussing what happens when fairy tales come to the modern world - some of the major talking points include creepy little boys, cringe dialogue, and (naturally) the Hero's Journey. If you've already seen Once Upon a Time and are jonesing for more, check out its spinoff Once Upon a Time in Wonderland! Claire then dives into You, starring the reluctant and yet incredibly wonderful Penn Badgley. They touch on what makes a well-written unsympathetic villain, introduces the idea of a "Hook Season" and its narrative purpose, calls out Elyse with brutal accuracy on her media consumption habits, and so much more. Be sure to binge the first two seasons of You to prepare for season 3 premiering on October 15th! Will these shows end up on your Don't Watch List? Listen to find out! 

Before We Go: 

Elyse - Slay the Spire, a deck-building roguelike videogame developed by Mega Crit games (available on PC, Switch, iOS/Android, PS4, and Xbox). In this game, you must carefully construct your deck of cards as you attempt to defeat increasingly difficult opponents, so you can finally emerge victorious at the top of the Spire. 

Claire - Squid Game, a South Korean dystopian TV show currently on Netflix. This chilling series follows individuals in crippling amounts of debt who get roped into competing in a series of children's games so they can win a life-changing cash prize, at the expense of the lives of others. 

Warning: This episode contains minor plot spoilers for the two television series Once Upon a Time and You.
