One Flesh, One End

• 22. For the Ninth!

  In our penultimate Gideon the Ninth recap episode (yes, we're really almost there!!), we look at the last half of Chapter 36, in which the fight against Cytherea concludes with Gideon's sacrifice. We also covered the so-called Western Conference of the first round of our "most iconic lines from Gideon the Ninth" tournament bracket, and continued our discussion of the apocalypse and resurrection in the series, looking at the significance of a nuclear apocalypse specifically within a New Zealand context.* SPOILER ALERT * We reference events from all three books in this podcast, as it’s intended for readers who are caught up with the series.If you like the episode, find us on Twitter, Tumblr, or TikTok @onefleshonepod or e-mail [email protected] with any questions or theories!This episode was edited by Adam and transcribed by Katie.References:Brm-911: Cytherea sparing Gideonetherealacademia & gideonisms: Gideon's last wordsTāmaki Herenga Waka / Stories of Auckland exhibitMururoa sculpture by the Pacific Sisterssixth-light: NZ and nuclear disarmamentbabylyctor: Energy Sources, Nuclear Waste, The Atomic Age, and Imperialism in The Locked Tombbabylyctor: necromancy as a metaphor for nuclear energyIntro/Segment Music: "Turismo" by Spaceinvader (Icons8 Music)Outro Music: "Warm Vacuum Tube" by Admiral Bob (2019 - Licensed under Creative Commons Attribution (3.0))Support the showSupport the show

• 21. We Do Bones, Motherf*cker

  The battle with Cytherea errupts as we recap the first half of Chapter 36 in this episode, followed by a dive into a tournament bracket of the most iconic lines in Gideon the Ninth, since we're so close to the end of this book (!!). Then we're taking a step back in time to discuss the timeline of the nuclear apocalypse and resurrection ten thousand years before the events of GTN—the first part of what will be a multi-episode discussion.

• 19. She Could Have Taken Me

  Uh oh, sisters! In this episode, we’re reconnecting with the world’s most normal twins. Chapter 34 finds us in the Seventh House’s lyctoral lab with Ianthe, Corona, and Babs’ dead body. Ianthe performs her villain monologue, reveals Corona’s “bad, sad, secret,” and commits a little light self-defence killing to follow up her main course of first-degree murder. We then take another Nine Houses sorting quiz and get a bit off topic, and wrap up with a discussion of the theory that Corona may have been Ianthe’s “true” cavalier.A transcript of this episode is available here.
