Whoa!nus: The Dish Dish - “The Marriage Lesson That I Learned Too Late” by Matthew Fray & The Hero

What can the self reflection of a divorced heterosexual man tell us about the Happily Ever After secret sauce - THE APOLOGY.

More importantly, perhaps, what does that secret sauce say about us as Romance Consumers and Straight, Yt Ladies? Like, what is that secret sauce covering?

Whoa!nus: Hunk-a-Blunk Full o' Balls - What is Bridgerton?

In which Isabeau tries to answer Morgan's questions about "Bridgerton". Because, perhaps like you, we are just two assholes coughing up the dust Bridgerton has left us in.

Join us as we bumble through Blibberton - from Anthony to Cletus to Ghouly, totally forgetting about Francesca and Gregory. We unearth Twitter controversies, desperately try to get on the same page about The Bridgerton Ball and cough up a couple of spoilers along the way.

How does the show speak about race? And fatness? What is a Diamond, exactly? How does the show represent Romance to the broader public?

The episode for when you've consumed absolutely everything or absolutely nothing about Bubberton!


Whoa!nus: Jane is Dead, Long Live Jane

At the conclusion of Jane Eyre, yr grls reflect on what brought us to Jane Eyre and where Jane Eyre has brought us - including, but not limited to, it’s contrasts with “Pride and Prejudice”.

Is Jane Eyre a self aware text or does it mostly benefit from modern readers seeing its Id? Is the Darcy more prevalent than The Rochester? Is an archetype it’s arc? What’s next?

What’s wet is always wet.


Whoa!nus: They Did The Monster March

Yr grls were working in the lab late one night, when their eyes beheld an eerie sight..

For a monster rose (a-wink) from the slab, and to their surprise

THEY DID IT IN MARCH! They did a MOoOnster March...

Join us for a seasonally inappropriate announcement. And then join us for the rest of the month as we read:

  • "Asquidentally in Love" by K. Hiers

  • "Love, Laugh, Lich" by Kate Prior

  • "Dragon Bound" by Thea Harrison

  • "Deceived by the Gargoyles" by Lillian Lark

Who needs October anyhow?


Whoa!nus Goes To The Movies: She-Devil! Feat. Andrea Martucci from Shelf Love

Get a soda pop the size of a tot and a slightly smaller barrel'o'popcorn because yr grls are going to La Cinema with friend-of-the-show Andrea from Shelf Love!

We are following up our live Tweet watch along of She-Devil (1989, dir. Susan Seidelman)with in-depth discussion of the film.

Who is the titular "SHEEEE Devil"? Is vengeance against a patriarchal wrong necessarily a feminist practice? Why Ed Begley Jr.?

WARNING: This week's episode may give you whiplash, looking back on '21 and forward to '22 so quick!

Yr grls look back on their stack as a whole and as individual books and experiences - what was the weirdest read of 2021? The sexiest? The suprisiest? The biggest WHOA and the lowest NO? And what did we learn? And what can we do with it moving forward?

Bring your novelty "2022" glitter glasses and those little arm garters old timey accountants used to wear, we're crunching data!
