The Muggle Prime Minister: Character Study

Apr 28 2024 63 mins  
Alice and Martha discuss the first unnamed character to win the Real Weirdo, Canonical John Major! This isn't a Fudge character study, and this isn't a Scrimgeour character study, and it isn't about the froglike man in the painting, either, although Mary GrandPre might lead us to believe otherwise.Please consider supporting us on Patreon! www.patreon.com/realweirdsistersNew episode

Into the Pensieve: Stuart Little

Apr 14 2024 70 mins  
Alice and Martha enter a world which is entirely E.B. White's own, which may or may not be a good thing. Is Stuart a mouse or not? What ever happened to Margolo? And what exactly were the publishers thinking? Stuart Little is quite the canoe ride and is nothing like the sisters remembered. In this series, Alice and Martha reminisce on shared memories, inside jokes, and experiences

Neville Longbottom: Character Study, Part 7

Apr 07 2024 70 mins  
Alice, Martha, and Jim Dale are back to finish discussing Neville. In the seventh book, Neville becomes--there's no other word for it--cool. As usual, this is obvious to readers through his long hair, his casual demeanor, and his habit of calling people by the first syllable of their name. Neville's arc is one of the best of the series, and Alice and Martha do take a break from moc

Neville Longbottom: Character Study, Part 6

Mar 31 2024 47 mins  
Neville's arc continues in the sixth book, though perhaps not quite as gracefully as readers might hope - there's still plenty of falling on his back, hitting his head, and of course, lighting his own pants on fire! Though Dean might still find him hilarious, Harry, Augusta, and McGonagall seem to view Neville with a newfound respect. Please consider supporting us on Patreon! www.p

Neville Longbottom: Character Study, Part 5

Mar 24 2024 58 mins  
I dink it's time for our fifth Neville character study, in fact I'b sure id is! After Christmas on the closed ward, Neville takes an "alarming" and "unnerving" turn as he becomes a master dueler, which he shows off at the Department of Mysteries -- a completely error-free enterprise on Neville and all the DA teens' behalf. This episode covers Neville's arc in the second half of Ord

Neville Longbottom: Character Study, Part 3

Mar 10 2024 65 mins  
Alice and Martha pick up their conversation on Neville from several years ago, this time, hopefully, without repeating any content! In the fourth book, Neville continues his arc as the class dunce and is often the butt of the narrator's jokes. But with the revelation about what happened to his parents, Harry and readers begin to see Neville in a new light. Please consider supportin

Professors Tofty and Marchbanks: Character Study

Mar 03 2024 53 mins  
It's time to break down everyone's favorite dynamic duo of professors! With help from the Wiki, Alice and Martha speculate on whether old Griselda Marchbanks is really a close friend of the Malfoys, how old Professor Tofty really is, and what these two legendary proctors do for the rest of the school year.

Into the Pensieve: Make Way for Ducklings

Feb 25 2024 52 mins  
Alice and Martha dive into Make Way for Ducklings by Robert McCloskey. This super cute picture book includes some yaasss queen moments, a deadbeat dad, and some questionable duck-feeding tips. In any case, it's not The Borrowers... and that's for the best! In this series, Alice and Martha reminisce on shared memories, inside jokes, and experiences reading both classic and lesser-kn
