Who’s the true O.G. of our mask-and-glove kink and prone to bridal carries into underworld lairs? Why, Erik of course. Courtney of @WhoTalksFirst and @SquadronGoalsCo joins us to gush about the ultimate Gothic Romance, plus our favourite POTO adaptation, The Last Jedi. We also bring the receipts on Raoul, call out Lord Andy for his self-insert fanfic, and sing praises for Gerard Butler’s plunging v-neck.
