Will alter your vocabulary
I can’t stop calling things “a real Tomei situation”. Genuinely, though, this is a great way to access literary critiques and discussion now that I no longer have access to lit classes. The hosts provide lots of useful frameworks through which to interpret the works, as well as further theorist reading options if you want to flesh out your own interpretation of the work. It’s also lighthearted and funny enough that you never feel bogged down in your Deleuze or Derrida.

Definitely check out Cameron and Michael’s other shows Just King Things or Homestuck Made This World for more lit critiques, or Game Study Study Buddies for video game theory, and Austin Walker’s actual play show Friends at the Table for further robust discussions of how narratives function.
