The first Q&A I've submitted questions for, I'm excited to know if I made the cut and if I didn't of course I'm going to take it massively personally and begin a revenge plot against all 3 of you and do some Syndrome from The Incredibles type shit

Alex TwinSpark

Devon, if you've been spending time in Cardiff, can you please tell me you got some Welsh cakes from the indoor Market? They are the best Welsh cakes in the damn world

Damien Magee

Famke 30 years ago as Abi obviously.

Damien Magee

A girl I knew in high school spent actual money to have her name changed from Sylvia to Sylvie.

Skate Bush

Alice you're a great podcaster gettoutahere with that nonsense

Sleepi123

If you had three songs to fuck, marry, and kill, what would they be?

GOOBER

Please do Alice's idea

Violet

Thanks for reminding me of yet another hint that young me was blithely oblivious of by bringing up young adult fiction and making me realize that my favorite books were about a woman forced to pretend to be a man by a conservative society (Song of the Lioness, which may not have had much of a market in the UK? It was randomly in my elementary school library and I read the entire series rather than paying attention in class). I'd genuinely never connected those dots. At this point, I'm pretty convinced that I could time-travel back to young me and shake myself while screaming, "You're trans!" and young me would have managed to just not reflect on that statement in any way for more than a decade.

flibbityflob

excited to hear my question get answered!!! I'm sorry for causing a solid two or three minutes of umming and ahhing, but hey that's probably?? A good question???

Cyrus McEnnis

Sam Rockwell movies that would fit into the pod: the criminally under-rated Mr. Right. I think y'all would have a blast with it, not the least for the hero identifying as a tyrannosaurus.

Louise Duke

A Bridge Too Far would be great, some insane Gene Hackman drops

Lay-Tex-Lips

I also was huge into the Eragon books as kid, and honestly after doing a reread last year I think they hold up really well. Premise may be super unoriginal, but imo the execution more than makes up for it, easily in the all time fav book series for me.

Brian Taulbee

Please, please do Big Trouble in Little China.

Relkia

super glad that monstrous regiment got mentioned during the pratchett hour for how gay & trans it is

Rachel K

Happy to commit to this program as always

Nick Fredman

I used to have an 80s Soviet Zenit camera. Heavy but simple and worked well: the Kalishnokov of cameras.

Mulloy

Oh no you've transed my gender

God's Eepiest Soldier

of course alice's favorite discworld novel is the one with the fantasy jfk assassination setpiece also re: actresses, my family recently rewatched derry girls and bronagh waugh in s2e6 had my brother and i both going "wait, was abi out already?"

Sarah

YES DEVON! FEET OF CLAY IS *FANTASTIC*

Whisky_Delta

My wife plays roller derby and apparently skating up that hill is pretty difficult.

tin roof

thank u for your opinions about trans names (and also abi's melodic rendition of my name. not sure what that was a reference to, sorry) fwiw, my recommendation is to just go full chaos mode. mononyms are cool, but also, go for an aesthetic and make computers hate you. name yourself 'bleep' or 'AN602' or '{amp}zwsp;' or 'perfect chaos'

Did Sun Tzu exclusively make enemies of people upriver and near the water? Did he have someone destroy a dam for him? How could he be so certain?

ZaitsevFred

Audibly cheered when Iain M. Banks was mentioned... those books actually saved my life, no exaggeration

Ariadne L

They said the name I would pick; so, I guess, there’s another egg crack. Also, for my money, the single funniest moment of the entire podcast is “The Chimp exercised today. Did you?”

brodie

Setting reminder for 1 year from now

John Harwood

I remain committed to this program

Ben Schwabe

Alice to surgeon: "What if a British woman was Italian?"

arbitrary-fascinations

I'm excited to check out all those media recommendations! I just got N.K. Jemisin's newest books and am eager to start reading them.

Amy

Funny thing about the names question is that I've had 3 names, deadname, chosen name and then a name that chose me by a game calling my ass out so hard I couldn't exist properly for a week, and every single one has been 3 letters with the letters AM in it. Sam, Amy, Mae. Wild how that happened.

Willow Davison

Abbigail (at 1:00:15): Yes, you are transgender. Me: Yeah, I know.

shadowcb

What if, instead of finding someone who looks like Abigail, we just hire some kind of blonde American to play her part? Also loved the discussion on books you used to read. I loved reading A Series of Unfortunate Events when I was younger, would highly recommend if you haven't read them beforehand.

John

Question for next Q+A, what cancelled or lost film do you most want to watch for KJB?

Meonlights

I hear you, Abi. I didn't know being trans was even a thing until I was in my 20s. Tho I did absolutely have gender feelings and somehow was obsessed with watching Mulan. Also Alice your voice is awesome.

Danielle Williams

Names are so complex.. and can be dark, I picked the feminine version of what my stillborn twin would have been...

Danielle Williams

Angua is just an amazing character in the guards novels..

Danielle Williams

OMG Good Omens is the best book ever... can you tell I'm commenting as I listen along...

Danielle Williams

Books: What it feels like for a girl - Paris Lees What if 2 - Randall Monroe Storyteller - Dave Grohl The Thrilling Adventures of Lovelace and Babbage - Sydney Padua The importance of being interested - Robin Ince TV: Sandman - on Netflix

Samah Abdelaal

So amused to learn that your each other's funniest moments are pretty much the same as my favorite moments of all of you on the podcast <3 You did however miss the glorious moment of Abi's "Sequin fury" in "You only live twice" :D :D :D That remains my absolute favorite ever!

Samah Abdelaal

Since it's "Time for England to become even more normal", isn't it also a great time for you to do "V for Vendetta" on the pod??

Katie Brobst

I'm so on board for doing the Bond movies again but going only off notes and Nate correcting them.

Synapsid

Whitney Wolverine; best answer.

Sirloinofice

I thought the face mask did that to Abigail's face. She said so in that one video. /s

mediacl

Just subscribed to the patreon to tell you: How could you forget Sesh Gremlin Q !?

Fireplasm

The Alanna series was one of my favorites as well! All of the books by Tamora Pierce are really good, if less trans relevant.

Fireplasm

I strongly agree that LoTR wouldn't fit the atmosphere of the podcast. But....you should cover it anyway : ) It certainly has a lot to say about masculinity. You could just pick out your favorite scenes, otherwise the podcast would 100 hours long. Alt thought: A podcast episode that takes your favorite snippets from various movies that won't be covering on full?

Topper

"I never really got into Discworld..." Smash cut to me, walking my dog in the snow-covered dog park, shouting "WHAT."

MythicalMothman

Uhh ACTUALLY Devon, Chewbacca's son Lumpawaroo was in the Holiday Special, not Chewbacca's Jedi nephew Lowbacca.
