Description
Eric, Wendy, and Shinjini break down the first third of “Circe,” the longest and arguably strangest episode of Ulysses. Along the way, they discuss Bloom's best friend (a bar of soap), naughty letters, Venuses in Furs, the unconscious of the text, and just who—if anyone—understands any of what is happening.
Also, Eric and Shinjini discover just how talented of an actor Wendy is.
Mentions:
Like “Circe” itself, Wendy got referential and sing-songy in this one:
The theme to Roald Dahl’s Tales of the Unexpected
“Walk on the Wild Side,” Lou Reed
Eric, although similarly referential, focused on cinema:
George Méliès, "A Trip to the Moon"
The baby in the Sun on The Teletubbies
Libations:
Eric: Gates of S’Mordor (s’mores-inspired imperial stout, Westbrook Brewing Company, Mount Pleasant, SC)
Wendy: Wake and Bake (coffee oatmeal imperial stout, Terrapin, Athens, GA)
Shinjini: nothing, because we recorded too late for caffeine
