Episode notes

There are stories about going to the underworld for love.

And then there are stories about staying there.

In this episode of A Tale Oft Told, we take a quiet look at What Dreams May Come—a film that feels like a retelling of the Orpheus and Eurydice myth, but one that asks a different question:

What do you do when the person you love begins to disappear into their own mind?

This isn’t just a story about the afterlife. It’s a story about grief, memory, and the limits of love.

And maybe… what happens when love refuses to let go.
