5.xx | Is It College Yet? (Part Two) | 9.9.21

Well, here we are. It's time for Daria to wrap itself up once and for all—and very nearly time for us to put this retrospective series to bed. It's the first half of our coverage of "Is It Fall Yet?," this week on Morgendorks! College application season has rolled around, and everybody's trying to figure out where they'll end up. Some will be thrilled! Some, disappointed! Some ... confused? Also, Quinn has a friend with a drinking problem. And Mr. O'Neill's getting married. Look, there's a lot going on.

Rob's been waiting three god damn years to talk about this episode, and it's finally here: It's time we covered "Boxing Daria," this week on Morgendorks! When a discarded refrigerator box brings back some troubling emotions from her early youth, Daria's left questioning her understanding of, well ... just about everything. It's a wildly interesting, introspective, and reverent episode, and we truly hope our discussion did it justice. Enjoy!

As they said in the '90s: Let's talk about sex. It's time for "My Night at Daria's," this week on Morgendorks! When Tom falls asleep at Daria's house it ends up creating a rumor that he and Daria are sleeping together—which leads Daria to feel pressured to actually start sleeping together. But what if you're just not in that mindset? Also, Jake has a sushi parasite. Just a note that Rob's connection was a little wonky throughout recording, so occasionally there's some crosstalk/delay in reactions. Nothing severe, but hey.

The Fourth of July has come and gone, but we get into the spirit by celebrating two proud American traditions: wildly excessive amounts of processed meat and the brutally exploitative postsecondary education complex! It's time for "Prize Fighters," this week on Morgendorks! When scholarship application season kicks into gear, it sends Daria into direct competition with a few of her classmates. Whole lot of conflict throughout this one, and we had a really good time with it! Also, Jake bought too many hot dogs. Oh, Jake. Note: Rob's microphone/connection got a little weird for a few minutes toward the end and his audio goes wonky. Not sure what that's about, but you can still understand him and it doesn't last very long. Sorry about that.

Batten down the hatches, the Barksdale sisters are in town! It's "Aunt Nauseam," this week on Morgendorks! When Helen's niece gets ready to file for divorce, it ends up bringing the Barksdale sisters together again ... but not in a good way. Turns out they only exist to destroy one another? This is an episode that is somehow both busy (there's a friggin' D plot, y'all) and repetitive, and we get a little lost trying to figure out what that means for our episode rankings. That said, there's some truly lovely sisterly bonding in here for Quinn and Daria, and we couldn't be more stoked about that. And the Fashion Club gets a strong B plot!

Let's take a dive into the world of art recreations and frivolous lawsuits! It's "Art Burn," this week on Morgendorks! When Jane gets hired by a local scumbag gallery owner to paint recreations of famous works to pay off gazebo debts, she's conflicted: Getting paid for art is awesome, but just how much time and energy can you dedicate to painting someone else's work before you've kinda forgotten what being an artist meant to you in the first place? This one's a little ... weird. It just feels like an odd episode, for reasons we'll explore. Also, we get into the bizarre (fake) illness that has swept the Internet for 16 years—and originated in Daria fanfiction. Enjoy!

We're engaging in that proud Millennial tradition of nostalgia podcasting by taking an in-depth look at Daria, the iconic MTV cartoon that aired from 1997 to 2002. Whether you're a long-time fan of the show (like host Rob Press) or a relative newcomer (like host Nissa Lee), join us every two weeks as we explore the cynical, sarcastic, still-very-resonant world of our favorite animated teenage misanthrope.

La-La-La-La-La! Being a huge Daria fan, I was disappointed by the lack of podcasts surrounding the hit MTV cartoon. Enter: Morgendorks: A Daria Podcasts. The hosts, Rob Press and Nissa Lee, not only recap the series, they give behind the scenes trivia and provide social and historical commentary relevant to each episode. This show is so much fun and I look forward to each new episode. If you love Daria and Jane and Quinn and the rest of the residents of Lawndale, this is the podcast for you!

This Is My Stop

i’ve loved daria for 6 years now, and i love this podcasts. the hosts are so pleasant to listen to and provide a lot of thoughtful insight to the episodes. this has become one of my favorite podcasts very quickly!

great!

Morgendorks: A Daria Podcast

Few things are quite as inevitable as The High School Sitcom Party Episode, and Daria knocked hers out nice and early. When Daria helps Britney complete an art assignment, she earns herself an invitation to a huge party at Britney's parents' house. Jane (and Helen's insistence that Daria watch over her sister) convince her to go, despite her reservations—and much to our delight, because otherwise we never would have been introduced to THE AMBUSH OF CERAMIC TIGERS. That'll make sense, I promise. We'll also be taking an in-depth look at just why every high school show has at least one of these party episodes, as well as the research into just how much these young folks of today are actually partying. iGen: Why Today’s Super-Connected Kids are Growing Up Less Rebellious, More Tolerant, Less Happy—and Completely Unprepared for Adulthood, on Amazon "Adolescents misperceive and are influenced by high-status peers’ health risk, deviant, and adaptive behavior."

Naturally, things get out of hand quickly. Also: How old is Quinn? More importantly, how old is she perceived? Is the show's handling of her a little gross? We spend a lot of time this episode talking about how financially, socially, and systematically screwed the Millennials are, sooo if you're likely to find that kind of thing depressing, uh ... welcome aboard!

We spend a lot of time this episode talking about how financially, socially, and systematically screwed the Millennials are, sooo if you're likely to find that kind of thing depressing, uh ... welcome aboard! <a href="https://www.collegedata.com/cs/content/content_payarticle_tmpl.jhtml?articleId=10064" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">CollegeData - What's the Price Tag for a College Education?</a> <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2017/11/29/how-much-college-tuition-has-increased-from-1988-to-2018.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">CNBC - Here's How Much More Expensive it is for You to Go to College than it Was for Your Parents</a> <a href="http://outpost-daria-reborn.info/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Outpost Daria Reborn</a> Website: <a href="http://morgendorks.podbean.com/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">morgendorks.podbean.com </a>Email: <a href="mailto:morgendorks@gmail.com">morgendorks@gmail.com </a>Twitter: <a href="http://twitter.com/morgendorks" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">@morgendorks</a>

Time to hit the local piercing parlor and adorn our bare midriffs with a nice little chunk of 90s nostalgia with “Pierce Me,” here on Morgendorks! When Daria goes and does something silly (read: gets her belly button pierced) for a boy (read: Trent), it makes her re-examine a few things. Also: Quinn and Helen in a mother-daughter fashion show! It’s an episode packed with wonderful character interactions, and we enjoyed the hell out of it. And for our cultural context, we dive a bit into the navel piercing phenomenon of the mid-90s! Where did it originate? What made it blow up? Find out, here on Morgendorks!

What happens when you take someone who basically wandered out of a long-abandoned bomb shelter with no contact from the outside world and drop them into Lawndale? You get an episode of Daria like “The New Kid,” which we’re covering this week on Morgendorks! Ted’s been homeschooled his whole life and is pretty sheltered as a result. He’s so sheltered, in fact, that Daria’s rather hum-drum life seems downright tempting. Even more interestingly, she’s developing something of a crush on him. It’s a whole thing. We also take a dive into homeschooling’s 90s-era explosion. How fast did it grow? Why do parents do it? Is it really not considered a war crime to forbid your kid from even learning about the concept of pizza? P.S.: Sorry this episode's coming out a day late! We had kind of a catastrophic software failure when we tried recording this episode the first time around.

It’s time for splotchy redness and the questionable misplacement of enema bags, as we cover “Ill” this week on Morgendorks! When Daria’s stricken with a bizarre rash, she ends up in the hospital—while Jane tries (and kinda fails) to cover for her. What’s behind the rash? How were that many women in one bathroom stall? What happened to poor Mrs. Sullivan? We don’t have all the answers, or even many, but we’ll give it a go anyway. Also, for our cultural context we take a dive into the epidemic of teenage anxiety. It’s way, way more prevalent than you might think, and it’s almost certainly an older problem than you might realize. Also also! We answer a question from one of our fantastic Patrons! And talk about some really fantastic Daria-related news that you’ve probably seen this past week!

Slap on some all-black clothing and don your favorite beret, it’s time for “Quinn the Brain” on Morgendorks! When Quinn pens an essay most English teachers would consider borderline felonious, Mr. O’Neill instead sees it as a tremendous expression of one young woman’s anger and anxiety—and Quinn becomes the school brain! But then … what becomes of Daria? It’s a sneakily wonderful episode, and we had a lot of fun with it. We hope you do, too! And for our Cultural Context this week, we look at Juliette Gréco: the French icon endeared herself to intellectuals on the left bank and gave rise to the unique, all-black style that came to be associated with bohemians looking to show off their intelligence. Also, Rob may or may not channel his inner Kelsey Grammar reading Quinn’s essay. Hang around for that one.

Hoooo boy, it's finally time to talk about "Depth Takes a Holiday," this week on Morgendorks! Daria's visited by the personifications of St. Patrick's Day and Valentine's Day, who implore her to help them round up the disgruntled personifications of Halloween, Christmas, and Guy Fawkes Day and bring them back to Holiday Island through a dimensional portal behind one of Lawndale's Chinese restaurants. Y'know, when we put it like that, it really sounds kinda fun. Also: FAN MESSAGES! YAY! Two things of note for this episode: One, we don't have any cultural context this time around. It was all we could do to keep this thing at a reasonable length as it was. Two, we ran into some recording issues, so you'll probably notice some skipping in Nissa's track. Sorry about that! We're gonna change up the way we record, so hopefully it doesn't happen again. Anyway, drop some strong hallucinogenics and enjoy as we discuss this purely bonkers half hour of television.

Where do Daria and Jane draw the line? (Spoiler: Right through their painting, it turns out) Can Helen be any more badass? (Spoiler: No) And is Ms. Li’s depiction just a liiiittle bit racist? (Spoiler: Uh … we really don’t know for sure) We also look into what has happened when students in the real world have fought for their right to free speech in public school.

The 90s are alive and well in Lawndale! Take a dive with us into The Episode that Launched a Thousand Fanfics, “The Road Worrier”! When Daria and Jane decide to tag along with Trent and his bandmate Jesse to Alternapalooza, get get an in-depth look at just how our favorite teenage misanthrope’s psyche holds up to indignity after indignity in front of the Mystik Spiral frontman she’s crushing on hardcore. Courtesy of Nissa, we also get a thorough schooling on just what the hell the alternative movement even was—and where it came from in the first place.

When Daria and Jane decide to tag along with Trent and his bandmate Jesse to Alternapalooza, get get an in-depth look at just how our favorite teenage misanthrope’s psyche holds up to indignity after indignity in front of the Mystik Spiral frontman she’s crushing on hardcore.

It’s time to look hard and disapprovingly at the bizarre and kinda gross world of teenage plastic surgery, as we dive hard into “Too Cute” in this episode of Morgendorks! When a Lawndale High girl with her eyes set on getting into the Fashion Club goes out and gets work done on her nose, it sets off a fad that sucks Quinn in—and fills her with some of that old high school chestnut: horrendous, world-shattering insecurity. We end up looking into the statistics a bit to get a grasp on just how prevalent this sort of thing actually is. Spoiler alert: way too prevalent. So brace for that, I guess. Enjoy!

It’s time for Morgendorks! We squint and hesitantly shuffle into the extraordinarily blurry future of season three with “Through a Lens Darkly,” wherein Daria decides to try contacts instead of her iconic glasses—and immediately struggles with questions of vanity and identity. Come for the Daria commentary, stay for Rob and Nissa’s Bespectacled Adventures! For our cultural context this week, we’re digging into just how glasses impact the way others view us and come to be a part of our own identities. From “She’s All That” to modern psychology, we run the gamut! Also, stick around toward the end for some very important scheduling information! This is gonna be the last Morgendorks until sometime around mid-November.

See Daria. See Jane. See Jane Run. See Daria lose her ish. Lose your ish, Daria, lose your ish! Or maybe don't? It's weird. It's time for "See Jane Run," here on Morgendorks! When a mix of libido and family pride convinces Jane to join the Lawndale High track team, Daria's left in the dust—and it does not go well for her at all. It's an interesting episode with a few really odd notes, and we had a lot of fun with it. And for our cultural context, we look at the under-the-table perks of being a student-athlete. How prevalent is academic fraud, like what we see in this episode of Daria? (Spoiler: Super. But there isn't much data on the high school side of things.)

2.05 | That Was Then, This is Dumb | 4.25.19

When Quinn and Daria both get nabbed breaking curfew, they’re forced to answer to the authorities: the authorities, in this case, being Helen and Jake, who appear to have binged a little too much courtroom television. The punishment? The girls are grounded for a month. But Helen and Jake are about to find out the hard way that the costs of running such a punitive criminal justice system far outweigh the benefits. (Brief aside: Breaking curfew isn’t much of a surprise for Quinn, but what was Daria doing out so late? Who was she with? We never find out! It’s just one of the many issues we have with this episode, but we figured we’d put it out there in this space, too, because what the hell.) In our cultural context, we take a dive into Court TV, and some of its darlings who became household names in the mid-90s.

It's time to explore the recesses of Daria's writerly mind, with "Write Where it Hurts," this week on Morgendorks! When Daria receives a special assignment from Mr. O'Neill to write a short story about people she knows, she runs headlong into a gnarly case of writer's block. Meanwhile, Helen's doing everything she can to help her daughter out—and running into blocks of her own. We also take a look at moral fiction—a partial focus of this episode. Tune in to see how cantankerous we can get when talking about John Gardner's take on what art actually is. One of us may or may not have implied he's burning in hell. So there's that. Also: Fan mail! And Patreon news! Also also: Nissa has compiled a season two playlist over on Google Play! You can check it out here. Get those good good 90s vibes.
