When you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be Lucy Liu. Using deductive reasoning, you must’ve surmised, dear listeners, that Les Filles are discussing the Sherlock Holmes oeuvre this month. Join us as we reminisce about our favourite classic adaptations and delve into the pros and cons of the new crop.
Hey, did you know that the term “smoking gun” comes from a Sherlock Holmes story?
Kayleigh’s back! She regales Alina, Reidan with her tales of Swedish vampires as performed by Scots and then the Filles proceed through the Breach into the dimension of the Summer Blockbusters. The Squee! The Good Enough! The …Eh. Was the winter of our discontent made glorious summer by these sons of Hollywood? Listen to episode 10 of Anglo-Filles to find out.

Kayleigh, sadly, had more glamorous things to do this month than record a podcast (make sure to ask her about Swedish vampires as done by Scots). Meanwhile, Alina and Reidan have decided that one Hugo nominee is just not enough and have decided to see if I can just snare the entire Hugo ballot. We get a good start with Seanan McGuire, nominated a record 5 times this year!
So, a zombie, and a cryptid walk into a bar and the bartender goes, “What are you doing with that tapeworm?” (“Alina, what are you talking about?!” – Listen to find out!)
Hugo Nominated Fanwriter Mark Oshiro returns to the Made of Fail family by joining Les Filles for an hour to talk about The Princess Bride. Could such an occasion and such a topic not be marked by much squeeing? Inconceivable!
Hey, did you know ancient Romans had sex? So did the Tudors! And don’t even get us started on the Borgias.
Reidan, Kayleigh, and Alina are coming together (sorry, couldn’t stop myself) to celebrate this excellent trend in today’s television: naked James Purefoy explicit history-based shows.
It is a truth universally acknowledged… Yeah, insert your own podcasting/Austen pun here.
Hey, Jane Austen was a writer and she wrote books. And then people took these books and wrote more books (inserting zombies, seamonsters, and platypuses), made TV shows, and movies. Let the Anglo-filles tell you all about it!
Noel becomes the first Anglo-Garçon when he joins us to talk about fairy tale adaptations, starting with The 10th Kingdom miniseries. From print to screens big and little, what stories do we keep rewriting for ourselves as we grow up?
We are joined by Cleolinda to discuss the awards season. Who was drunk at the Golden Globes (everyone!)? Who will win at the Oscars (probably not the people we want to win). When will Peter Jackson leave his hobbit hole (never, obviously).
Fake geek girls! Jeremy Renner’s ass! Gifs of Jeremy Renner’s ass as utilized by geek girls who are in a quantum state of realness until judged by a man!
(I can feel Kevin firing me already. And I just got a raise, too.)
Les filles saw some movies (well, some of us did), read some books, achieved some awesome things (well, most of us did), and talked about it on the new episode of the podcast!
