TW: discussion rape or attempted rape Inspired by a listener email, Sarah and RedHeadedGirl casually discuss the most recently aired episode of the BBC’s Poldark. They discuss the intricacies of spoilers, and the television portrayal of what in the book is a rape scene, along with the viewer reaction to the episode. They also explore the idea of altering or preserving original source material for adaptation: should the television production take into account modern audiences and adapt accordingly, or should the television show have stayed more true to the source material? It’s not an easy question to answer. So spoiler warnings, and salty language warnings, and above all, trigger warnings ahoy. There is also a discussion of what they’re reading, and what they want to see next.PLUS! A disgusting interlude! From Sarah: “At about 37 minutes, while I’m recording, Orville, my cat with colon difficulties, strains to move his bowels in front of (not IN) the litter. Then, well, it gets smelly. But it’s amusing and I know how mu ch you love cat misadventures in the podcast, so I left this part in. I hope it makes you laugh as hard as I did while editing. And please forgive me if you hated it.” Get bonus content on Patreon
