PsycheDevin McGrath-Conwell: The Many Masculinities of 'Ted Lasso'In this episode, I speak with Devin McGrath-Conwell. Devin graduated from Middlebury College in February 2019 with a joint-degree in film and English, and then could not stay away from his alma mater. He approaches his communications work as he would a script or short story: always looking for the best way to tell a story. Devin is currently pursuing an MFA in Screenwriting from Emerson College. In between work and school, he is a freelance critic and journalist who never tires of watching, writing about, and generally devouring film and television.
In this episode, we discuss Devin's...

The Ghastly Podcast#14: Scream (1996) (Meta-Horrors Part 5 of 7)"Movies don’t create psychos; movies make psychos more creative!"Watching Casey Becker (Drew Barrymore) being terrorised by an unknown caller in the opening scene of 'Scream' invokes a rather peculiar nostalgia for that most mythical of devices: the landline. As we become ever more attached to our mobile phones, the landline - and all the anxieties it gave shape to concerning the melding of public and private realms - will soon be nothing more than an antique, a home accessory for the trend-conscious. It is now commonplace to be pestered relentlessly by our devices: phones ring, sm...

To cope with this sad fact, Alexa has made the questionable but appreciated decision to let Devin have them record an episode about MOVIES! Just to make sure he doesn't run rampant and drone on, the two are joined by special guest Elena (Culture Editor at Oprah.com, and also Alexa's sister). The three of them sit down and toss out their picks for the best movies and TV shows to watch if you're missing romance. As...

(Season 1, Episode 7)After six episodes of foreplay where Devin and Alexa have teased you all with their elusive Glasgow story, they are finally ready to bare it all. Travel back in time with the two of them as they reminisce about ye olde world when we could all go to bars and make questionable decisions in public.

2020-06-111h 07Love in the Time Of...Long Term Monogamy (and other things that Make Alexa uncomfortable) with Luke! (Season 1, Episode 6)In this very exciting episode, Devin and Alexa are joined by our #1 PODCAST FAN who is also Alexa's dear friend, Luke. Luke has been in a relationship for 3 years, and after surviving the majority of his first year of full-time teaching while in the relationship, corona hit and has added all sorts of new wrinkles to managing a long-term dynamic. Alexa and Devin ask him all sorts of questions about what it's like to manage a relationship in quarantine, and Luke and Devin carve out some time to commiserate about romance during the first year of teaching. Plus, if...

Alexa and Devin are joined by Devin's dear friend Teddy who, just like Devin, came into the pandemic fresh on the heels of being broken up with. Before they get to Teddy though, our tangent-prone hosts go gown a rabbit hole of the best way to make a move while Netflix and chilling, and give a very special nipple (but really just Cuomo) update. Tune in to see if Devin finally cries while baring his soul, but stay for how wonderful a guest Teddy...

Turns out she was lying, or at least changed her mind, because she found an app for her and Devin to use to go on (drum roll) VIRTUAL SPEED DATES. So, for the love of the pod and all things quality content, Devin and Alexa embarked on the adventure of virtual speed dating and are here, alive, ready to report back on the whole experience for your listening pleasure, and so that maybe you can be spared the same fate.

Alexa's dear friend George joined us to talk about his experiences as an avid virtual dater during quarantine and even before.

On the second episode of "Love in the Time Of..." Alex and Devin dive deep, oh so very deep, on how their personal conceptions of love and romance developed over time.
