Journey with us into the wonders of the natural world and horrors of the unnatural world, as we cross over 90s Nicktoon The Wild Thornberrys and Victorian monster mash drama Penny Dreadful. Check us out on iTunes, Soundcloud, and Stitcher for a discussion about microwaving hearts, making sure you’re casting the right Josh for the job, narratives dealing with colonialism, and snack food depravities. We apologize for our many failed attempts at replicating the Nigel Thornberry voice. (Sorry, Tim Curry!)
Where you can find this pop culture (as of show date):
- The Wild Thornberrys is available to rent or buy on platforms like Amazon or iTunes.
- Penny Dreadful is currently streaming on Netflix and Showtime.
