Cries in Norwegian: A SKAM Podcast

i think i've seen this film before…and Yasmina was right! Yep, it’s time for Yasmina’s season and it’s totally fine and enjoyable. Join us in the never ending discussion of why it’s hard to adapt a Sana season. This time around we had some issues - especially with the portrayal of Yasmina’s parents and a lack of nuance. But still enjoyed Yasmina, her friendships (Luca!) and romance (Younes!). Let us know your thoughts!

Hello…anyone still there? Hear us talk about Skam news that are almost a year old because that’s how long ago we recorded this, but we still hit some relevant points.  Join us to discuss Druck season 6! This season is all about our girl Fatou.  We love Fatou. We love Ava. We love Kieu My…We love all our flawed teens (except Constantin), but kind of just like the season as a whole. And remember Fatou is the turtle (it’s a metaphor!!!).

Gaby and Liska tackle episodes 6-10 in the second half of our discussion of the everything everywhere adaptation: France s6!

This. Season. Has. Everything. And we mean EVERYTHING. Mean girls, addiction, hospitalization, secret affairs, tragic backstories, hook ups, dead parents, urban exploration, new friend groups, bitch slaps, sister betrayal, bio-dad rejection, extremely patient love interests, and sentimental, tinkling piano scores. Because like Tiffany, France really commits to the bit. Gaby liked it more than expected, Liska just might talk herself into liking it by the end. One thing we can agree in on is Lola is a complex and strangely lovable character. Join us as we discuss all this and more… and this is just the first half!

Buongiorno! It's time to talk about season four of Skam Italia and we've got some notes. This season has a weird place in the Skam-verse and we try to break down why that is. We still love our Italia squads, but despite a strong ending, this season felt a bit superficial to us. Still, we love discussing and dissecting this corner of the Skam universe. 

**slight spoilers for season 5 at the beginning!**

Turns out, revisiting early pandemic times is… interesting. 

 

The WTFock mini season is a fascinating artifact of its time and we give big props to the creators for trying it. Sobbe is mostly a miss for us this time around, alas, and to no one's surprise we're still huge Zoenne stans. Join us as we discuss the creative storytelling of WTFockdown!

We finish our YOUNG ROYALS deep dive with an episode-by-episode look. There're secret societies, scooters, tragedies, pills, penniless nobles, sex in Hollywood, and terrible, bad, no good parents. The brilliant Henrik from skamenglishsubs continues to blow our minds with his thoughtful analysis and cultural context. Season 2 was announced but no release date yet, perhaps late summer or fall. Needless to say, everyone on the show is mentally doing great!

Taking a brief break from SKAM, Gaby and Liska finally sat down to discuss YOUNG ROYALS! Joining us is the one, the only, the legendary Henrik of skamenglishsubs, with his fascinating insider knowledge of the country and culture. We discuss the ins and outs of Swedish royalty (naturally), class solidarity, boarding schools, the show’s realism, the characters and their complicated relationships, what we loved about the show, what maybe could have been better, and “those hair clips cost how much???” And this is just part 1!

We're back! It's time to talk about our girl Nora Machwitz! We're a little divided on what works or doesn't work this season, but we're both very impressed Druck managed to bring the spirit of skam to a new generation of characters. In this episode we gush about Nora, defend our supportive king John, love to hate on Consti and we like Kieu My so much Fatou might not be the only one with a crush....suffice to say there's lots to talk about and we say artifice a lot for some reason.

Join us to talk about Skam España FOR THE LAST TIME as we tackle all the non-Amira POVs in season 4: Alejandro (enjoyable), Lucas (messy) and Joana (glad to see her?). Overall we have some mixed reactions, but agree that there's just not enough time and specificity given to these storylines. Still, we love España and are sad to say adios to these characters!
