Description
We’re Classical Studies majors who wandered from ancient epics into modern fiction and never found our way out. Now we dive into worlds, themes, and characters across books and movies, tracing the core threads and irresistible plots. Then we grade everything—C is squarely average—because evaluating art is inherently absurd and endlessly fun. Thoughtful but never stiff, nerdy but never gatekeep-y, we’re here to enjoy stories, celebrate them, and laugh at ourselves along the way.
