This one was definitely one of my favorites so far to record! Maybe it’s the nerd in me, but there’s something about the combination of (fictional) murder & museums that I find so entertaining!

[TotallyNormalAboutThat @TotallyNormalAT]

Hi Friends! Who is excited for some murder this March? We know we are! This week we are kicking things off with a totally normal chat about Bones! We discussed museums, anthropology, the way queer history is told, and so much more! Check it out!

Hi friends! This week we had a totally normal conversation about the movie Easy A! Chatting about stuff like bullying, manipulation, entitlement, and the power of the truth definitely felt like some timely topics! We hope you agree!

Hi friends! This week we had a totally normal chat about Naomi & Ely’s No Kiss List!

This movie is an amazing blend of rom-com & coming of age story, and it was so much fun to watch!

[Lucia (Lou) 💚💙🌈 @assortedpuzlpcs]

This one was definitely interesting for us. How do you have a coherent conversation about a movie with this many plots??

[TotallyNormalAboutThat @TotallyNormalAT]

Hey friends! It’s almost Valentine’s Day, so what better movie to discuss than, well, Valentine’s Day? We had quite a time with this one! Enjoy!

This week we discussed both movies & our feelings about the story as a metaphor for queerness, along with things like generational trauma & colonization. Don’t worry, we also had a blast discussing fun stuff like Olaf, Sven, the trolls, and more! Enjoy!

[TotallyNormalAboutThat @TotallyNormalAT]

Hi friends! It’s literally freezing outside where we are, so we thought why not talk about Frozen?!

I seriously debated if I wanted to keep posting fun facts this week since covered this particular movie. But I think these fun facts are actually a really good example of how movies & TV are group projects in a way that books are not, so they’re going up for now.

Today's Fun Fact:

In Stardust, Ditchwater Sal is portrayed by Melanie Hill. Melanie also plays Mary Howden in the BBC's Merlin, a character that appears in the episode "Lamia". In Stardust, Ditchwater Sal is killed by the character Lamia!

If you do choose to listen, please know that we do not discuss the situation going on in this episode outside of a brief acknowledgement, but rather focus entirely on the movie itself.

Hey friends

This week we discussed the movie Stardust, which is an adaptation of one of Neil Gaiman’s works.

The episode was recorded prior to the recent Vulture article, and at the time we were not aware of the scope of the accusations against him. +

[TotallyNormalAboutThat @TotallyNormalAT]

We absolutely do NOT support Gaiman or his actions, and are in full support of the victims coming forward.

That said, we know the timing of this episode is rough & if you are not able to listen to it now (or ever) we absolutely understand! +
