Mean Booker Michelle B told us to read the NYT bestseller because “the premise sounds enticing… this totally goes off the rails and was a complete disappointment.” Wrong Place Wrong Time (a misleading title), spent 5 weeks on the bestseller list and was a Reese Witherspoon club pick in 2022. It's got time travel, a murderous nerd son, and mom guilt. So if it sucks, how did it get so popular??We dive in with our special guests, Kelli McAdams and Susan Reach of the super fun Book Squad Goals podcast.Mean Book Club is four ladies (UCB, BuzzFeed, College Humor, Impractical Jokers) who read, discuss and whine about NYT bestselling books that have questionable literary merit.

Light some candles and gather ‘round the pentagram, because things are getting satanic (panic!) on this episode. Author Clay McLeod Chapman joins us to talk about the 2009 film House of the Devil. We talk about the cultural context of the early 1980s, Greta Gerwig’s pizza performance, and the anxiety-making pacing of the film. Tangents include Cabbage Patch dolls and the forbidden television of our childhoods. Next, we chat with Clay about his new novel, Whisper Down the Lane, which was inspired by the McMartin Preschool trial of the 1908s. We all loved this book, so we kept the chat about it spoiler-free! He tells us about why he is drawn to this subject matter, as well as what’s coming up next for him and his writing. (Also, there’s a fantastic story about one of Clay’s readings in New York that you absolutely do not want to miss!) Read along with us for our next Bookpisode on Kim Jiyoung, Born 1982 by Cho Nam-Joo (May 17th), and then take a detour with us for our third-ever Hatepisode (though some of us might not hate it?) on Ready Player Two by Ernest Cline on May 31st.

Welcome to Everything Trying to Kill You, the comedy podcast that talks about horror movies! Join Maegan, Mary Kay, Mary, and their lovely guest, Emily Martin, on their episode about Interview with the Vampire. They answer questions like, who is your vampire soulmate? What makes Anne Rice’s vampire convention so much better than traditional vampire lore? Do you think Anne Rice being an erotic author makes it too obvious that Lestat and Louis are a couple? How does this film utilize Kiss-or-Kill distance? Since Tom Cruise hijacked The Mummy, does he deserve to be kissed anymore? Do vampires consent to becoming vampires? Is life-saving consent implied? Are children innocent? What’s the big deal about making a vampire out of a child? How is this text still Gothic, despite its production in the 1990s? How is Lestat similar to Dr. Frankenstein? What does blood taste like to vampires? What is the nature of Louis and Claudia’s relationship? How old is Claudia actually? How do we feel about the idea that Louis values human life but he owns humans? What exactly does “Creole” mean? Why does Bourbon Street smell like sin? How did the voodoo practiced by Louis’ slaves add to or takeaway from the horror? Was the end of this film SUPER rushed? Does it end in the right place? What’s the difference in watching the Vampire Theater from watching this movie on the screen? What brand of lip gloss does Lestat wear? Who would you re-cast as Lestat?Interview with the Vampire (1994) Written by Anne Rice and directed by Neil Jordan. Starring Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, Kirsten Dunst, Antonio Banderas. Genre: adventure, thriller, drama, horrorPlot summary: Born as an 18th-century lord, Louis (Brad Pitt) is now a bicentennial vampire, telling his story to an eager biographer (Christian Slater). Suicidal after the death of his family, he meets Lestat (Tom Cruise), a vampire who persuades him to choose immortality over death and become his companion. Eventually, gentle Louis resolves to leave his violent maker, but Lestat guilts him into staying by turning a young girl (Kirsten Dunst) -- whose addition to the "family" breeds even more conflict.Links for your auditory pleasure….Take the Who is Your Favorite Vampire Soulmate Quiz! https://bookriot.com/2018/09/20/vampire-soulmate-quiz/Ilovewerewolves.com Emily Martin’s podcast, Book Squad Goals: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/book-squad-goals/id1230209775?mt=2
