Storyological - HOLIDAY SPECIAL, VOL. 5

Storyological

Storyological is a podcast about stories. In particular, short stories. In particular, any sort of short story that amazes us. Sometimes we talk about stories in Clarkesworld. Sometimes in Granta. Sometimes we talk about comics. Very occasionally we talk about films. Every episode, writers E.G Cosh and Chris Kammerud discuss how stories work and why they matter and what it is about these particular stories that we love more than anything.

In which we discuss the classic holiday film, In Bruges,

along with among other things

The Belcourt Cinema in Nashville
Pride and Prejudice and Assassins (a not real thing unfortunately)
The entirely arbitrary but important seeming distinction between cruelty and meanness
Titles beginning with prepositions
The planes of Star Wars
That one episode of Storyological Past in which we talked about the Daphne du Maurier story, “Don’t Look Now.”
The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel
Love as a recognition of one’s own failings and someone else’s possibility
Our interview with Amal El-Mohtar
Innsbruck, a city not in Germany so much as Austria
