People Don’t Talk About… Young Royals

Margaret and Anton continue this cycle's character episodes, in keeping with tradition, by discussing Simon in Young Royals Season 1, Episode 4. While acknowledging the survival mindset Simon has entered into this episode, Simon tries their best to give Simon as much grace as Wilhelm, and Anton discovers a new toxic trait he didn't realize he had before recording this episode.

The pod is getting a bit ~experimental~ as your hosts are joined by (shock and horror) a third person!! One of Anton's best friends and former roommate, Alec (he/him) from the UK, comes on to give his take on Young Royals as a whole. While managing the flow of a three-way conversation and attempting to fit in as much as they all can within a normal-ish length for an episode of the podcast, Margaret reveals a storyline in Season 3 they personally could have done without; Anton articulates why the themes of royalty, at least in stories, are inherently queer; and Alec wonders how the events of the show would have played out if Queen Kristina II of Sweden was instead Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom.

Anton and Margaret start off the cycle's characters episodes, as they always do, with Wilhelm, assessing the version of him we meet in Young Royals Season 1, Episode 4. While extending Wille and his actions the grace they deserve, Anton issues a counter-defense against a certain portion of the fandom, and Margaret argues that, considering the circumstances, sexuality didn't need to play a factor in Wilhelm's decision to cut off Simon.

Margaret and Anton continue their discussion of the non-Wilmon relationship dynamics in Young Royals Season 1, Episode 4. While tackling everybody else's relationships, Margaret notes a devastating parallel across the episode involving Simon's feelings around physical touch, and Anton admits that he unjustifiably judges a minor character for not doing something about largely inevitable events outside her control.

Margaret and Anton broaden their plot discussion and tackle every non-Wilmon relationship dynamic inYoung Royals Season 1, Episode 4, in this first part of their usual two-parter. While keeping this half contained strictly to Wilhelm's dynamics beyond Simon, Margaret reminds us why inducting Wilhelm into the Society is an extremely callous decision, and Anton argues why he thinks Wille's bodyguards never post up outside the school.

Join Anton and Margaret as they conclude their discussion of the acting in Young Royals Season 1, Episode 4. While working under a bit of a real-life time constraint, Anton previews Felice's categorization in this cycle's character episodes, and Margaret wields their conservationist knowledge to dunk on the Society for claiming Sweden's nobility is an endangered species.

Hello again, everybody! Anton and Margaret return from their impromptu hiatus with the other half of the detail-oriented episodes for this cycle, this time focusing in on acting choices made by the cast of Young Royals Season 1, Episode 4. While finding something to appreciate in almost every scene from pretty much every single actor, Anton brings up the "micro-acting" only visible on a bigger screen, and Margaret ranks roughly where Felice kissing Wilhelm falls in Sweden's brand new Crown Prince's list of concerns.

Margaret and Anton continue on in their discussion of Season 1, Episode 4 of Young Royals by delving into the details of the cinematography. While both of your hosts are collectively possessed by possibly the most wild energy of any other episode of PDTA to date, Margaret points out an initial lack of scenes depicting Wilhelm actively and visibly grieving until he is back at Hillerska, and Anton articulates how the warmth of the lighting in dialogue scenes between Felice and Wille interestingly gives credence to other characters' perception of the two as a potential romantic pairing, in a way that was not true before 1x04.

Anton and Margaret are finally back discussing this amazing show, talking about Wilmon (Wilhelm x Simon) in Season 1, Episode 4 of Young Royals. While somehow managing to keep this episode a one-parter, Anton stakes his claim for what the pod's sign-off Officially MeansTM, and Margaret identifies the unique way in which Simon mourns the loss all of the characters experienced at the end of the last episode.

We're back, baby! Margaret and Anton sit behind their respective mics for the first time as people who have seen all of Young Royals and dish about the documentary that released alongside the series finale, Young Royals Forever. While just gushing about anything and everything regarding this loving documentary (and keeping in-depth S3 thoughts to a minimum!), Margaret gets into how their co-host make them nauseous with a single text, and Anton proposes what would have happened if Wilhelm was never the prince.

We're back, baby! Margaret and Anton make a glorious return to the podcast after their S3-watching hiatus by starting off a new cycle and summarizing Season 1, Episode 4 of Young Royals. While they both try to keep from crying on mic multiple times, Margaret calls out two late famous geneticists, and Anton describes an intimate scene so explicitly that it all but guarantees this episode will be demonetized on YouTube if the videos of this podcast one day make money.

Anton and Margaret are here to formally round out their 1x03 Cycle with an informal bonus ep reading out listener's DMs about stuff they think your hosts should know. While finding the experience more enjoyable than ever before, Anton makes every effort to summarize a complicated rundown about an arcane economic topic, and Margaret briefly loses their mind over the number of languages known (as least a little bit) by the pod's most prolific listener.

Margaret and Anton end their COMING WHEN bonus series with a detailed rundown of the Official Trailer for Young Royals Season 3. While trying not to overthink or worry about any detail too much, Margaret rightly corrects Anton on the identity of character on the back of Ayub's motorcycle, and Anton connects the tangled mess of scenes in the trailer by the different outfits worn.

Anton and Margaret close out their discussion of Young Royals Season 1, Episode 3 with their usual tackling of miscellaneous symbols and the themes that underlie them. While contemplating what these symbols mean for the characters' arcs as well as how other characters perceive them differently, Anton fixates on what one symbol could have meant, and Margaret locks in on the what might be considered the first time Wille chooses Simon over his family.

Margaret and Anton turn to the thematic once again with discussion of class and monarchy in Young Royals Season 1 Episode 3. While appreciating the depth this episode brings to the world, Margaret asserts it's not a reach to call August shallow, and Anton once again defends the episode's major final plot point and why it had to happen.

Anton and Margaret discuss Erik (for the final time...) in Season 1, Episode 3. While appreciating the narrative weight such a relatively small character can have, Anton once again complicates the fandom's image of Erik, and Margaret considers an odd wrinkle of Erik's approach to his brother.

So. This is awkward. Anton and Margaret recorded this episode about the new Official Clip, the Promo Photos, and the Season 3 release date announcement before the trailer for S3 came out. Please enjoy the delicious dramatic irony of knowing more than these past versions of them. While your hosts engage in a little wild speculation, Anton obsesses over Wille's access to Simon's phone number, and Margaret expresses hope for Sara seeing sense.

While finding Sara to mostly slip into the background this episode, Margaret critiques more elaborate courses of action to avoid the luncheon slip-up, and Anton reflects on the poetry of this utter disaster waiting to happen.

Margaret and Anton tackle a discussion of August in Young Royals Season 1, Episode 3. While finding the most understanding they've had yet for why August is the way he is, Margaret points us towards the unavoidable factor of his past trauma, and Anton imagines a younger August's reaction to the environment of Hillerska.

Welcome to the episode type where we're just ~vibing~ as Anton lists some of his favorite Young Royals reactors and Margaret lists some of their favorite YR fanfics. While waffling back and forth or whether their lists are ranked, Anton waxes poetic about his love of reaction content as a genre, and Margaret speaks on the sheer volume of fics that change a major plot point that fundamentally alters the nature of the story.

Margaret and Anton re-enter the spoiler zone by discussing the First Look video for Season 3 of Young Royals. While generally losing their minds over the tiniest details, Margaret gets distracted by Edvin's face, and Anton resists the urge to just start doing the show on this minute-and-a-half long clip.

The cycle begins anew, as Anton and Margaret break ground on Season 1, Episode 3 of Young Royals with their usual summary. While failing more than usual to keep from giving commentary, Anton struggles through a scarring intimacy scene, and Margaret loses it over one particular line of Sara's.

Time to wrap up another cycle, as Margaret and Anton tackle their Instagram DMs about various factoids and tidbits relating to the show that they missed.

In their final main episode of this cycle, Margaret and Anton take on the symbolism, motifs, and themes of Young Royals Season 1, Episode 2. While reveling in the wonky and wishy-washy connective tissue, Margaret imagines a version of the show with August's internal monologue, and Anton comes up with (in real time!) a working theory of the thematic symbolism for day and night in the show.

Time for some more rich people nonsense, as Anton and Margaret delve into everything relating to class and the royal family in Season 1, Episode 2 of Young Royals. While elaborating on just why the "on the table" scene is so weird, Anton commits to improvised cultural analysis of class and sexuality within the show, and Margaret jokingly laments that all of their discussions seem to come back to one particular topic.

Margaret and Anton are finishing this cycle's character episodes by delving into Sara in Season 1, Episode 2 of Young Royals.

Anton and Margaret are getting into the shades of gray when discussing Felice in Season 1, Episode 2 of Young Royals. While ultimately finding that they don't have much to say, Anton articulates the position of a "complicated" character, and Margaret asserts why none of Felice's action in this episode are particularly remarkable.

Margaret and Anton are going negative for an episode to "assassinate" August once again for his behavior in Season 1, Episode 2 of Young Royals. While breaking from the format of prior episodes out of sheer annoyance with the character, Margaret references a popular Australian pop-punk band, and Anton makes a series of unfortunate jokes whose cringe is self-inflicted.

Anton and Margaret continue on with their character episodes for this cycle by stanning Simon in Season 1, Episode 2.

Moving on to the character episodes for this cycle, Margaret and Anton start by stanning who else but Wilhelm in Season 1, Episode 2 of Young Royals. While finding themselves surprisingly contemplative, Margaret reveals a Wilhelm scene in this episode that they often have to skip, and Anton forwards a theory for why the other rowers don't also rightly find August's class journey speech absolutely hilarious.

Onwards! Anton and Margaret continue their exploration of character relationships beyond Wilmon in Season 1, Episode 2. While not being totally on their best behavior in terms of tangents, Anton admits that *with some significant changes to the plot* he finds a certain ship intriguing at the very least, and Margaret confronts the naïveté of Simon's second deal with August.

While agreeing to once again get through August as fast as humanly possible, Anton focuses in on the episode's previously-mentioned "straight boy nonsense," and Margaret makes a powerful connection to a classic of mid-2000's U.S. teen movies.

So pretty, so good! Margaret and Anton round out their detail discussion with cinematography highlights from Season 1, Episode 2 of Young Royals. While marveling over the true art of so many of the shots in this episode, Margaret loses their mind over a scene that lasts less than thirty seconds, and Anton expands upon the metaphorical parallels between Wilmon's first time holding hands and the horror film chosen for the Manor House's movie night.

While potentially managing to be more chronological than ever before, Margaret laughs over August's absurd misconception of what Wilhelm is doing in his room at 6 AM in the morning, and Anton mentions a Tumblr post that suggested an underlying subtext to "the hot dog scene."

While stressing over and over again that show-related bonus episodes mean no ban on explicit spoilers, Anton begs the listeners to bear with him as he applies a whole lot of English Major EnergyTM to his anticipation of Season 3, and Margaret makes her feelings for a Season 2 character abundantly clear.

In their first thematic discussion of the show (and admittedly one of their most off the rails), Anton and Margaret analyze the royal family in Season 1, Episode 1 of Young Royals. While they both somehow manage to stumble into some seriously out-of-pocket tangents, Anton takes them down a rabbit hole of Swedish royal history, and Margaret makes known their official stance on British people named Harry.

Margaret stares into the void by imagining Erik and Wilhelm's earlier childhood, and Anton discovers he may have lost the ability to do math as he attempts to calculate Erik's age.

In their first episode explaining why they both hate various characters inYoung Royals, Anton and Margaret start with potentially the easiest target of all, August in Season 1, Episode 1. While they both do their best to rein in their excitement at finally getting to roast August for an entire episode, Anton urges listeners to remember to the *specific* reasons why the fandom hates August with such rare consensus, and Margaret articulates their sense of what August thinks it means to live as a true member of the Swedish Royal Family. (Spoiler alert: he's wrong.)

POST-EDITING DISCLAIMER:

Please consider Anton's comments about Bridgerton with the understanding that this episode was recorded before the release of Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story. While this spin-off limited series was admittedly a step forward for queer representation as far as the universe of the show is concerned, it still had some problems for him. (Also... he would like to stress to everyone that thin, presumably gay, white, cisgender male secondary characters are the literal definition of the bare minimum.)

(TW: References to mental health struggles and family trauma)

In their first character episode, Anton and Margaret have decided they both have no choice but to "stan" Wilhelm in Season 1, Episode 1 of Young Royals. While attempting to save their bashing of the Swedish monarchy for a future pod episode, Anton identifies what makes Wilhelm so relatable to so many queer people, and Margaret emphasizes once again that Wilhelm is not simply "going to boarding school" -- he's being sent away.

In the second final part of their first ever multi-part episdode, Margaret and Anton continue analyzingYoung Royals relationships apart from Wihelm and Simon's dynamic, keeping their focus on Season 1, Episode 1. While finding they still have ever more to say about August, Margaret makes the perfect pop culture comparison to describe the rich boy trio, and Anton diagnoses two side characters with the precursors of himbo-ism.

In what turned out to be first part of their first ever multi-part episode, Margaret and Anton begin delving into character relationships outside of Young Royals's central ship, still remaining exclusively focused on Season 1, Episode 1. While relishing in their opportunity to finally bash August in earnest, Margaret speaks to the inherent abuse that often comes from having a parent with addiction, and Anton posits where he thinks Simon could have gotten his political beliefs.

While finding numerous oppurtunities to appreciate the show's nuance of character and plot, Anton unapologetically reveals the moments in the pilot that make him go feral for the one and only Omar Rudberg, and Margaret lays out the serious implications of Simon's estranged father forgetting his own son's sexuality.

While deciding what ought to count as cinematographic anyway, Margaret admits to hyperfixating on the first time Wilhelm smiles, and Anton calls out the shift of focus at the end of the classroom scene for making him feel *attacked*.

CORRECTION: During the episode, we talk at length about the production schedule of Seasons 1 and 2, while being only sort of confident that filming occurred earlier than it actually did. As a clarification, Season 1 appears to have been filmed in either late 2020 or early 2021 and Season 2 appears to have been filmed in 2022. We ask for correction in the episode, but that was before either of us remembered the internet exists. Thanks for bearing with us!
