Comedian Tim Platt from Rude Tales Of Magic and Oh These Those Stars Of Space joins us to talk about the impact that Jim Carrey and The Mask had on him as a child. We talk about Carrey’s performance and Cameron Diaz and Milo The Dog and the special effects of course but also about figuring out your artistic vocation, The Mask as alcohol, Man On The Moon, and the editorial biases of Edge City’s newspapers. It’s a good time.

Tim is @TimothyPlatt. He stars in Rude Tales Of Magic and Oh These Those Stars Of Space. His debut comedy album Teeth Like Beak is coming very soon.

Welcome to The OC bitch! Jessa Hastings, author of the Magnolia Parks Universe books, joins us as we put on our collared t-shirts and huge belts to talk about The OC! We talk about how Adam Brody changed nerds forever, finding Marissa annoying, Sandy and Kirsten, the music, the clothes, and how The OC is directly responsible for the scripted reality explosion of the mid-noughties. It’s a good time.

Jessa is @jessa.hastings. The latest book in the Magnolia Parks Universe, Into The Dark, is out now.

Comedian Sophia Cadogan joins us to talk about 1994’s Interview With The Vampire. We talk about the hair, and the necks, and the blood. But also about Kirsten Dunst’s amazing performance. We try to figure out why the coffins are important. We admire Brad PItt’s character’s action-oriented problem-solving methods (setting fire to everything all of the time). We had a lot of fun. You will too probably?

You can find Sophia everywhere at @SophiaCadogan. Her new show Princess Melancholy is on 17+18 Feb in Smock Alley, Dublin.

Welcome to our first proper episode of 2024. If you listened to our Weezer episode or our Patreon episodes then you know that Andrea and Alan are big fans of Pat Finnerty. Pat makes a fantastic youtube series called What Makes This Song Stink. We were delighted when he agreed to appear on the show and even more delighted when he picked Spinal Tap.

P.S. there’s a bit near the end where Pat says U2 but we misheard him and thought he said YouTube so if you’re wondering why we suddenly start talking about YouTube, that’s why.

Pat is @the_pat_finnerty_show on instagram. What Makes This Song Stink is on YouTube. Start from episode 1, thank us later.

Alan is @alan_maguire. Juvenalia is his main thing right now but he’s doing a bit of stand up here and there.

Happy Weird Inbetweeny Bit of the year where nothing’s really happening. We realised that people don’t get around to Christmas episodes of podcasts until January so we just talked about some non-Christmassy things we’d been watching lately. We also did our Off Menu menus just for the hell of it.

We’re going to take a break for a couple of weeks while we get everything lined up for 2024 but we’ll back soon. Thanks for sticking around.

Alan, Sarah, and Andrea.

What’s this? What’s this? Meg Hyland’s back to talk to us about The Nightmare Before Christmas. We were going to rewrite all the lyrics to What’s This to be about the podcast but literally none of the words associated with this podcast scan with the meter of the song so instead just listen to the episode. It’s about creative burnout, and mall goths, and passing the wierd parts of yourself onto younger relatives.

Meagan is @meghyland. She’s extremely talented, follow her.

Award-winning podcaster Andy Gaffney returns to Juvenalia to stun us with the depth and breadth of his Power Rangers knowledge. We talk about b-sides of Power Rangers singles, the two Rita Repulsas, Power Rangers Live In The Point Depot Dublin, Jedward(?), and lots, lots more.

PS There’s a little bit of talk about Santa, so if you listen to Juvenalia around believers, it might be better to keep this one for later.

Andy is @BeGrandAndy. His current project is the podcast Promenade which is excellent and you should listen to it.

Author and journalist Lauren Bravo joins us to discuss in a most genteel aspect the 1995 BBC adaptation of Pride and Prejudice. The Colin Firth one. Much like Mr. Darcy and the lake, we dive right in to talking about wet shirts and sideburns. But we eventually talk about other things too.

Lauren is @LaurenBravo everywhere. Her debut novel Preloved is out now.

Alan is ⁠@alan_maguire⁠. He does a bit of standup but Juvenalia is his main thing really.

You can ignore this bit, we've just updated the shownotes to force some podcatchers to redownload the episode because of a technical difficulty
