Juvenalia – Détails, épisodes et analyse

Author and Journalist Vicki Notaro joins us to talk about the queen of melodramas, the wind beneath our wings, Garry Marshall’s Beaches (1988). There’s a lot to get through, the performances, shitty New York Apartments, Nouveau Riche New York Apartments, Celeb/Normie friendships: can they ever work? Boradway auditions, and lots more. It’s a good time.

Donegal folk artist Ramper is with us to talk about the impact that Rory Gallagher’s live album Irish Tour ‘74 had on him as a young fella. We also talk about how our taste in guitar gods has changed as we’ve gotten older and just about the whole idea of guitar gods in general.

Ramper’s debut album Loner is out now. He’s on tour this month. You can catch him on 25th May in Belfast, followed by Galway (28th May), Dublin (29th May) and Donegal (31 May).

On Halloween Night 1992, the BBC aired Ghostwatch, which purported to be a live investigation into a house and family that had been plagued by poltergeist activity. The studio segments were hosted by Michael Parkinson, while children’s presenter Sarah Greene explored the house and interviewed the family at the center of the haunting. Things started to go very wrong and the show ended in disaster. Due to a quirk of scheduling, a large part of the audience didn’t realise that it was all fake. Ghostwatch is frequently listed as one of the scariest TV moments of all time. Ghostwatch was written by Stephen Volk and directed by Lesley Manning.

Comics writer and artist Nick Roche joins us to relive his experience of watching Ghostwatch, aged 13, dressed as Batman for Halloween.

Nick is @NickRoche. His orignal graphic novel Scarenthood is out now and he’s currently the robot designer for Transformers:EarthSpark on Nickolodeon.

Writer Rachael Krishna joined us to talk about Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice’s Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. We talked about Donny Osmond, genre experiments, Any Dream Will Do, and a very good chat about musicals based on existing properties. It’s a great episode, we hope you like it.

It’s a crossover episode! Cassie, Jen, and Sophie from The Creep Dive joined us and we joined them to talk about The Blair Witch Project in the first Tall Tales Big Zoom. We just generally creeped ourselves out, talked about how good Heather Donahue was as Heather, and had a lengthy digression about secrets and Sleep No More. It was an absolute blast.

Fionnuala Jones of Bandwagons and *gestures around* the internet returns to Juvenalia to discuss the other late 90s Japanese monster-based megahit, Digimon. We compare Digimon and Pokémon, discover which Digimon wore jeans, and generally agree that Digimon was excellent and totally deserving of a rewatch. 

You can watch Jenna Stoeber's excellent video What If Digimon Had Beaten Pokémon here

Ireland's premier non-binary drag entity Wren Dennehy aka Avoca Reaction joins us to talk about the 90's family film that all 90s family films aspire to be, Mrs. Doubtfire. We talk about gender obviously, the genius of Robin Williams, the underrated performance by Sally Field that GROUNDS THE WHOLE FILM, how good the child actors are, Pierce Brosnan's beautiful face, San Francisco, Harvey Fierstein, and wrap it up with a chat about Dublin youth theatre, writing, and our school musicals. It's a nice hour, we could all do with a nice hour.

New Year New Us! Not really, we're exactly the same, everything is exactly the same BUT we decided to do things a little differently for our first episode of 2021. Alan, Sarah, and Cassie Delaney all picked the thing that absolutely changed them forever, their Juvenalia Prime topic and talked about it. Cassie's Creep Dive energy was a bad influence and we ran out of time before we could talk about Sarah's thing so we're going to do that on Patreon at a later date. Right here, right now though you get to listen to Cassie talk about Sister Act II and Alan talk about The Bends. In between there's lots of talk about choirs and just the joy of singing in harmony. Happy new year everybody.

Also, near the end of the episode Cassie looks at her phone and realises that an attempted coup is happening in the US Capitol so listen out for that little piece of history.

Cassie is @cassielorraine. She runs Tall Tales, the podcast network that this very podcast appears on and co-hosts The Creep Dive.

Millennial Saturday morning TV shows! The true golden age of television! Cat Deeley! Ant and Dec! Zoe Ball! Jamie Theakston! Trevor and Simon! Alan and Sarah go through the many ways in which Going Live, LIVE & Kicking, and SMTV Live are in many ways the most important television shows of all time with some timely diversions into British panel shows and the career of Simon Amstell. Also Alan and Sarah talk about their histories working in and appearing on kids TV. We couldn't think of a Christmas episode we wanted to do so we did this instead. Hope you like it whenever you listen to it! Happy last week of the year, thanks for sticking with us this year xx

Jeffrey Cranor of, among many other things Welcome To Night Vale and Within The Wires,  joins us to talk about 1981's swords 'n' stop motion epic Clash Of The Titans.  We admire Ray Harryhausen's uncanny creatures, marvel at the fact that it came out the same week as Raiders Of The Lost Ark,  and generally poke and prod at a classic movie that seems unstuck in time.
