    Silo: S2-e7 – "The Dive" takes a turn
    Dec 27 2024

    Elysia and Luke follow "The Dive" – episode 7 of season 2 of Silo – to the depths of the drama, and the set up for the final arcs of the season. We get into the nitty gritty of all the action in both silos – plus important questions like "who should survive" Luke's romantic coupling doomsaying, and what major and minor characters might play a key role in how the brewing unrest plays out.

  • The Man Who Invented Christmas (2017) & the real Charles Dickens – The intermezzo

    The Man Who Invented Christmas (2017) & the real Charles Dickens – The intermezzo
    Dec 24 2024

    Elysia and Luke gather around the mics once more to continue their winter tale with this briefer interlude looking at one specific film – about Charles Dickens' life and writing A Christmas Carol.

    We use that as a jumping-off point to discuss the real man: How much of the film's story is true? What else should you know about him? And, perhaps most importantly for this series... Did he actually invent Christmas? And if not, who did?


    Watch out for the final episode in our 2024 A Christmas Carol haunt, where Luke and Elysia watch some of the silliest and most beloved twists on the tale, and find out which ones we think are worth your time.


    The Man Who Invented Christmas (2017) is available in most countries on Disney+ or Hulu.


    I – Start with the opening notes episode, if you haven't yet, for the background on this series.

    II – The sheet music (novella and earlier story) episode is available to Book Club members in Supercast (Silozens or Storyzens)/Patreon.

    III – And also join the chorus to discuss some of the most classic classic Christmas Carol adaptations.
