Announcement: Summer AV Club and Season 8 Titles!
books and movies, oh my!
We’re coming up to the end of our current season of the podcast and the first term of the Curriculum, but you didn’t think we’d be having a summer break, did you? Absolutely not.
A new season of The Dark Academicals will be kicking off and a summer season of the Curriculum, the Summer AV Club, will be taking us through the first part of the summer before we kick back off with the Autumn term of the Curriculum in September.
Season 8 of The Dark Academicals begins streaming on Tuesday 28th May.
Summer AV Club begins here on Substack on Tuesday 7th May. Some of the episodes will be exclusive for our paid subscribers, but there will be episodes available for everybody to enjoy.
We’ll be tackling 9 movies that fit into dark academia and we’ll be chatting about them right here in an exclusive episode. How will dark academia on screen differ to on page? Let’s find out!
And the movies for the Summer AV Club are…
Saltburn (2023)
Mary Shelley (2017)
The Riot Club (2014)
Tolkien (2019)
Kill Your Darlings (2013)
Mary Shelley (2017)
Dead Poets Society (1989)
Cruel Intentions (1999)
Good Will Hunting (1997)

The Curriculum you know and love (we hope…) will return in September 2024 after the Summer AV Club has closed its doors.

‘Black Chalk’ by Christopher J Yates
‘The Bacchae’ by Euripides
