Overview

Details

Juvenalia is a pop culture nostalgia show where Alan Maguire, Sarah Maria Griffin, and Andrea Cleary invite interesting people to tell them about something they were obsessed with when they were young; how they felt about it then and how they feel about it now. We've talked about books, films, tv shows, musicians, computer games; we're interested in it all! It's nice, you'll like it.

190: The Mask with Tim Platt

Comedian Tim Platt from Rude Tales Of Magic and Oh These Those Stars Of Space joins us to talk about the impact that Jim Carrey and The Mask had on him as a child. We talk about Carrey’s performance and Cameron Diaz and Milo The Dog and the special effects of course but also about figuring out your artistic vocation, The Mask as alcohol, Man On The Moon, and the editorial biases of Edge City’s newspapers. It’s a good time.

189: The OC with Jessa Hastings

Welcome to The OC bitch! Jessa Hastings, author of the Magnolia Parks Universe books, joins us as we put on our collared t-shirts and huge belts to talk about The OC! We talk about how Adam Brody changed nerds forever, finding Marissa annoying, Sandy and Kirsten, the music, the clothes, and how The OC is directly responsible for the scripted reality explosion of the mid-noughties. It’s a good time.

Jessa is @jessa.hastings. The latest book in the Magnolia Parks Universe, Into The Dark, is out now.

188: Interview With The Vampire with Sophia Cadogan

Comedian Sophia Cadogan joins us to talk about 1994’s Interview With The Vampire. We talk about the hair, and the necks, and the blood. But also about Kirsten Dunst’s amazing performance. We try to figure out why the coffins are important. We admire Brad PItt’s character’s action-oriented problem-solving methods (setting fire to everything all of the time). We had a lot of fun. You will too probably?

You can find Sophia everywhere at @SophiaCadogan. Her new show Princess Melancholy is on 17+18 Feb in Smock Alley, Dublin.

Alan is @alan_maguire. Juvenalia is his main thing right now but he’s doing a bit of stand up here and there.
