<p>The most magical and spooky of days is upon us, listeners, and with it we bring you a long promised tale of love and horror, set amidst a house that has become a living thing unto itself. Prepare to indulge in some prime gothic heroine problems, and have a Happy Halloween! </p>

<p>Talking points: setting as protagonist; Real Life Byronic Hero Tom Hiddleston; color in costumes and lighting; GDT continuing to know what we need; sex and the horror genre; what makes a ghost; supernatural versus mundane horror; the gothic plot formula in film; gendered fears in character and authorship; and, hey, why don&#8217;t more people just lean into their tropes?</p>

Episode 26: Terry Pratchett's "Jingo"

Remedial Studies is a podcast by two nerdy ladies who just want to make the world listen to our academic opinions on the most nonacademic subjects. No media form is off limits! Books people call trash? Absolutely! Albums from artists you never heard of (or heard too much of)? You betcha! Movies that never got their box office due for being "too niche?" Where would we be without them! Television that you stayed up way too late to watch? We're right they're with you! Games that would have gotten you made fun of as a kid that are kind of cool now? We're your one stop shop! Join us, Hannah and Rachel, as we work through all the pop culture we can get our hands on and do our best to stay on topic along the way. New episodes every other Tuesday.
