It's a new season! Welcome to Read it and Weep Season 8: Embrace the Weep!

This season is all about the media that moves us and our friends. So obviously, OBVIOUSLY, it had to be Eurovision.

For this, I've roped in my friend Cathy to tell me about the highs and lows of Eurovision.

Plus, Anthony's prepared some slides! Also, we're on YouTube (at least until I get annoyed with video editing)

We recommend:

Local Flutes
Touching Grass
Democracy
Lordi

Alex and Ezra are long-time friends who are both a mile wide and an inch. After careful research, we've determined there are exactly 1,206 things to know about the world, so we're setting out on a quest to learn one fact about everything that's ever happened BUT NOT TWO.

This episode? We learn just one thing about Twist Ties and Noses.

YouTube: Watch our faces and say nice things in the comments!

Season 8 is starting soon! Shape it by giving us feedback on the Patreon!

Hot Frosty 2: Hot Ice. Cool Canadian hockey phenom Shane Hollander and Brusque Russian hockey hot-shot Illya Rosanov are rivals on the skates but, surprise, lovers between the sheets. They're hot and cold as public and private lives cross-check each other, but in an uplifting, very needed example of queer joy, it's all actually okay!

They profess their love, come out to Shane's parents, and get all the happy endings that they deserve. However many hockey sticks you like in your fantasy, you're sure to get melted by Heated Rivalry.

Space, the final frontier. But also time, some would say, a more final frontier.
These are the voyages of the Starship Enterprise.
To go cheat at dom jot and get stabbed in the back.
To get robbed by a time traveler while saving a planet.
To prevent 22 years of war by killing off Tasha Yar again.
And to boldly meet Kelsey Grammars like no one has met Kelsey Grammars before.

This is a special one. Not only are we talking running, we're doing it with my friends Dru Johnston (NipGuards episode) and Ben Kegan. Ben made a whole incredible documentary about running. We even have NCAA indoor champion Colby Alexander joining us to talk about his experience in the movie. Check it out:

"SECONDS AWAY follows Belgian-American runner Peter Callahan and his longtime coach, Patrick McHugh, as they chase a qualifying time fast enough to make the Olympic Games. When Patrick is diagnosed with cancer, their pursuit becomes an unflinching look inside the sacrifices, devotion, and rare bond that define life at the edge of elite running."

Space. On a crappy mining ship in the future, everyone dies except for Dave Lister, a lowly technician, who survives for 3 million years in stasis.

Joining him are the suave descendant of his cat, the hologram of his dead pompous bunkmate, a low-polygon max headroom-looking android, and the ship's computer who, depending on the episode, is a man, a woman, an idiot, a genius. If you ever saw Star Trek and Doctor Who and thought–I want the opposite of this, you might just want to take a trip with Red Dwarf.
