We're talking about an iconic, highly quotable movie that satirizes a genre while being a perfect example of that genre! New episode out today 💙📽️

The picnic scene/battle of wits from The Princess Bride. The man in black sits in front of two wine goblets and says Where is the poison?

Drew Barrymore playing Casey in Scream crouches on the phone while a voice on the other line says What door am I at?

Oh it's October you say? The perfect time to spotlight Canadian horror books? 🩸📚

Uncited Podcast 🏳️‍🌈🇨🇦 @uncitedpod.bsky.social · Nov 22

New book review/recommendation! Daniel Perry's Modern Folklore is an absolutely gripping horror novella about the things that haunt us: our regrets, our vices, the mysterious figure of a woman with long dark hair, Toronto rental units.

Amy's definitive review of The Life of a Showgirl is IN

Text across all three screenshots:

Amy’s Version
Overall I think I’d give this 3.5/5 opals. It’s pretty but not for every day.

The Fate of Ophelia: A fun song, but I know too much about hamlet to not tear it apart. Frankly would have been cooler to have a Shakespearean sonnet rhyme scheme, or more references to ghosts. Also i don’t love the little off beat « the fate of ophelia » part of the song
Elizabeth Taylor: this one is fun. Also kinda on the nose re: you’re only as hot as your last hit. This one will grow on people.
Opalite: Amy’s favourite. It’s fun. It’s cute. If this was on any other album people would be head over heels for it.
Father figure: forever skip. It’s not doing what she thinks it’s doing. I’m not pearl clutching about the « my dick’s bigger » but I just don’t want to listen to it.
Eldest Daughter: not as traumatic as I expected it to be. For a track 5 it’s pretty tame and I expect it to grow on me the next time I’m forced to be in charge of something I shouldn’t be.
Ruin the Friendship: was this a debut vault track that she added the bridge to in order to make it current? It sounds like debut. Kinda sad, kinda out of place, but I guess it represents grief?
Actually Romantic: didn’t need to be as specific as it is to get it’s point across. It’s a shame it’s so catchy because I kinda want to put it in my skip list. It’s one of those annoying songs that people read too much into. Also can we stop caring about MH?
Wi$h Li$t: rich girl wants to live a normal white picket fence life. I don’t love it because like « in your life you'll do things
Greater than dating the boy on the football team ». But also as someone who never imagined life with a partner or kids etc. I kinda get it. Might be a skip. Also it sounds so much like her song Glitch.
Wood: this song needed Jack to help produce it. Sometimes some songs are better not published. Skip. But good for you Taylor have all the fun.
CANCELLED!: this is catchy, this is fun, this is going to be …

This week we're talking about the poem that inspired Disney's Mulan! There was a poem? Heck yeah there was. It's from 5th or 6th century China, and way more concise than either of us was expecting. 💙📚

Would you like to:

A) Be liked by most people? (Warning: If you select this option, you must do things most people like)

B) Accumulate unchecked power at the expense of your own citizens and the international community?

You can't sustainably win on hate because the people who care about their friends, family, loved ones, and community care more than the people who care about hate ✨

As always, today is a good day to support a writer, an artist, a creator. If you have the means, commission an art piece, leave a tip, buy a book. Or you can always signal boost their work or write them a nice comment.
