  Into the Ingallsverse: Little House on the Prairie - Episodes 5 & 6 - Nipper and Nimble

  Aug 9, 202646 minS1

  David and Lisa Campbell recap Netflix’s Little House on the Prairie episodes 5 and 6 in the podcast temporarily known as Into The Ingallsverse.  Episode 5 centres on multiple characters avoiding the truth.  We venture to the Women’s Society as Ma and the girls encounter exclusion and racism, including Emily being barred, Lacey emerges as the decisive MVP, and Mr. Edwards’ past is revealed when he explains his wife and daughters died of cholera. Episode 6 is a cozy Christmas installment with a new baby, a lavish general-store celebration and the gift of sweet potatoes. They also discuss the film Wicker (adapted from The Wicker Husband), a coming Pete Dominick bonus episode, and Lisa’s sinister theory about the whereabouts of  Caleb’s missing father… See Lisa’s rubbish gingerbread greenhouse and DC with Alexander Skarsgard here @in2theaustenverse   Tiktok @in2theaustenverse and on YouTube @intotheaustenverse Email us at info@intotheaustenverse.com   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

  Episode #46

  Into The Ingallsverse - Little House On The Prairie - Eps 1 & 2 - From Prairie to Presley

  Jul 26, 202643 minS1

  David and Lisa Campbell go “Austen-adjacent” on Into the Austenverse by discussing Netflix’s Little House on the Prairie.  Lisa introduces her new favourite Susan. They outline Laura Ingalls Wilder’s real life and the autobiographical children’s books, her late start as a writer in the 1930s, and her long life spanning covered wagons to Elvis. They discuss Manifest Destiny and how the show engages with land-taking, racism in the books, and historically accurate figures like Dr. Tan, an African American doctor. Reviewing episodes 1–2, they praise the pacing, depth of field, peril, and cast (Alice Halsey as Laura, Luke Bracey as Pa, Crosby Fitzgerald as Caroline), highlight mystery-box backstory and Mr. Edwards’ arc, note Alison Arngrim’s cameo, and preview covering episodes 3–4 next week.

  Episode #44

  Into The Homerverse - The Odyssey (2026) and TROY (2004)

  Jul 19, 20261h 3mS1

  Lisa returns to join DC on “Into the Austenverse” whilst detouring into the “Homeverse,” discussing the Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey , their differing familiarity with Greek mythology, and how David’s long affection for The Odyssey contrasts with Lisa’s newer crash course via Stephen Fry and interest in Emily Wilson’s translation. They recap the 2004 film Troy - talking about its successes, failures and how performers like Brad Pitt see it in hindsight.  They then turn to Nolan’s The Odyssey , they focus on practical filmmaking (including the Trojan horse), the underworld, Cyclops and Circe, and interpretations of Odysseus’s flawed, traumatic journey home, with debate over the reduced role of the gods. They talk Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Robert Pattinson, Samantha Morton, Zendaya and whether they are Fan Hathaways or not.
