Dead Dad Poets Society

Happy Campers

Anna and Lily welcome you back with some long, intense musings on TTDP and a brief, mean demolition of Justin Timberlake’s character before diving into a couple Bunk Notes that Greg sent them while they attended sleep away camp. They discuss their dad’s intense, methodological writing style, the long lasting impact of Jewish summer camp on their lives, and the difficulties and merits of being the ~outspoken~ teenage girl in the room.

One Year Deadiversary

Anna and Lily dive into their feelings surrounding the one year anniversary of their dad’s death (after a quick gab about the pop girls ofc). They read some passages from books and Anna’s dramatic notes app poetry and discuss the process of grief, the way people treat and understand you over time in the wake of a loss, and gauging the “correct” reaction to it all. Additionally, they ruminate on personal grief in the face of a mass grief event like the current genocide in Gaza, and how the hierarchy of suffering factors into it all.

My Grief Is An Opp

Anna and Lily come in complaining and giggling and then quickly start sobbing as they read a note their dad wrote about dealing with the loss of a parent. They also discuss the political implications of A Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, how Henry Kissinger is burning in hell, and the eternality of grief.

Nonprofit Snark With The Drumpster

Anna and Lily return from their hiatus to read some lunch notes and get metaphorical with a situation room update on 1989 (Taylor’s Version), the acknowledge that our dad actually was pretty funny and progressive, and some rumination on the hierarchy of suffering (aka why it’s so fun to be dumped). p.s. anna had a cold this episode so that’s why her voice sounds extra low and sexy. enjoy!

Live From The Situation Room

Anna and Lily give the people what they’ve been waiting for and tell the stories of how they found out about their dad’s death and the immediate aftermath. Fighting over Instagram captions! Traumatizing therapists! The morality of assisted suicide! And most importantly…. Our thoughts on Olivia Rodrigo’s guts and the initial Jophie breakup!
