| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Spirits Podcast, a boozy dive into mythology, legends, and folklore. |
| 0:04.1 | Every week, we pour a drink and learn about a new story from around the world. |
| 0:07.4 | I'm Amanda. |
| 0:08.1 | And I'm Julia. |
| 0:09.2 | And this is episode 247, The Green Night for Myth Movie Night. |
| 0:13.3 | Julia, I don't want to call my shot too early, but this is one of the best Myth Movie |
| 0:16.7 | nights I think we've ever done. |
| 0:18.0 | Thank you. |
| 0:18.7 | I'm flattered. I will thank the listeners who |
| 0:21.9 | submitted this as a suggestion and move forward from that. And as always, we are strict with our |
| 0:27.1 | spoiler awareness. So we have a two-minute recap that's filled with spoilers. What we tell you when |

| 0:37.6 | or listen to the episode and then see it. I think both ways. You're going to get a fun viewing |
| 0:40.6 | experience. Yeah, the only spoilers that we give in the episode as a whole are the slight |
| 0:45.8 | differences between the actual source material and the movie itself. And we try not to give as much |
| 0:51.4 | spoilers to that. But if you are listening to this episode, you might get spoiled |
| 0:54.8 | to the basic plot of the movie. Which I went in completely new, completely fresh, fresh as a daisy, |
| 1:01.4 | not knowing anything that would happen. And let me tell you guys, it's a movie watching experience. |
| 1:04.8 | I won't soon forget. So it was an absolute wild ride. And do you know who I would love to |
| 1:09.5 | have along with me, Julia, if I were ever to do that again? It's our new patrons, right? Our new patrons. Sonia, Mary, Ash, |
| 1:15.7 | and Katie, thank you so much for your support. We also want to thank our supporting producer-level |
