You can't judge a book by its cover. There's no shortage of gold-hearted biker dudes and wicked ministers—you can't really know what someone's like inside right away. Like that guy in the library over there, with the glasses and neat hair and preppy style and self-effacing affect. He seems harmless, right? He isn't, though. He's as full of anger and danger as someone on death row. Sometimes it's the quiet ones you have to watch out for. Join us live at Wet Hot Bad Magic Summer Camp in Equinunk, PA, September 10-13th!

The Invite | Auf gute Nachbarschaft und noch bessere Sexpartys Sieben Jahre nach ihrem gefeierten Regiedebüt „Booksmart“ und fünf Jahre nach den Schlagzeilen rund um „Don't Worry Darling“ meldet sich Olivia Wilde mit ihrer neuen Regiearbeit „The Invite“ zurück. In der Tragikomödie übernimmt sie neben Seth Rogen, Penélope Cruz und Edward Norton auch eine der Hauptrollen. Im Mittelpunkt steht ein Ehepaar (Wilde und Rogen), das seine Nachbarn von oben (Cruz und Norton) zum Abendessen einlädt. Was als entspannter Abend mit Gesprächen über Wein, Käse und Inneneinrichtung beginnt, entwickelt sich zunehmend zu einer ebenso chaotischen wie emotionalen Achterbahnfahrt. Schlogger und Stu waren zwar nicht offiziell eingeladen, haben die turbulente Gesellschaft aber dennoch begleitet. Ob sich die Einladung lohnt, könnt ihr ab dem 30. Juli selbst im Kino herausfinden – oder schon jetzt im Podcast erfahren. Viel Spaß mit der neuen Folge vom Tele-Stammtisch! Trailer Werdet Teil unserer Community und besucht unseren Discord-Server!

In this bonus episode of Booksmart, host Allie Daisy King sits down with Australian romance author Tierney Page, known online as TierneyReads.Page is the author of the 'London Hearts' trilogy, known for their swoony male love interests, relatable heroines, and taboo romances. But she's also beloved for her viral, unfiltered, and NSFW TikTok reviews of dark romance novels.Listen to hear Allie, "an asexual woman and avid romance reader", and Tierney, "a venerated smut lover," unpack the many overlooked ways in which explicit scenes in romance often serve as a vehicle for character growth, allowing characters to communicate needs on a deeper level while building the tension that readers crave.You can buy any of Tierney's books at QBD with 5% off using the code 'BOOKSMART' online or at the checkout:https://www.qbd.com.au/search/?q=Tierney+Page&utm_source=Booksmartpod&utm_medium=MPPodcast&utm_campaign=BSMPBooksmartTierneypage&utm_id=BooksmartTierney

In this book club episode, Sunny and Allie review Muñeca by author Cynthia Gómez. The short novel comes in at under 200 pages and promises a Gothic queer love story featuring witchcraft and revenge.Listen to hear the Booksmart girls unpack whether Muñeca's stunning cover matches the book's content & debate whether a novel set in the 1960s can be properly considered Gothic. They delve into the power imbalances present in this book, from body-swapping to patient x carer romances in fiction, with plenty of laughs along the way.One thing the girls are sure of? GIVE US MORE WITCHCRAFT IN WOMEN'S FICTION!!!

We're deep diving the notable Spice Girl absence, whether the reported snub is even real, and the theory involving a certain family in crisis.Plus, Taylor Swift is up to something.

Olivia Wilde. Actor. Director. Producer. Olivia comes from a long line of journalists, a British father and an American mother, who have made groundbreaking investigative documentaries. The late writer Christopher Hitchens, a friend of the family, was her babysitter. She grew up in a world of words, a world of stories, a world of speaking truth to power. She chose her stage name in honor of Oscar Wilde, a writer she admires.Olivia starred in dozens of TV shows and movies before directing her first feature in 2019, the raunchy, high-stakes, hilarious, high school comedy, Booksmart.Her latest movie, The Invite, is a tight ensemble film, which she both directs and acts in alongside Penelope Cruz, Edward Norton and Seth Rogen.The Invite was a smash hit at the Sundance Film Festival in January — the last one in Park City, Utah — and set off one of those legendary bidding wars you hear about like Sex, Lies, and Videotape did back in the day.In April The Invite opened the San Francisco Film Festival at the newly renovated historic Castro Theatre and Olivia came to see us in the studios of KQED just before the screening to talk about the movie and her path as a filmmaker.

In this episode of Booksmart, hosts Sunny Adcock and Allie Daisy King sit down with Sydney-based professional fangirl Cazzie Ahmed (@filmgirlcazzie).Ahmed tells us how harnessing her long-standing affinity for pop culture has helped her build a loyal network of more than 12k followers and a side hustle that is swiftly becoming a 5-9 outside of her already full-time 9-5 career. The girls discuss the value of building your own digital platforms and the challenges that arise when you wish to be taken seriously as a creator with growing access to opportunities, especially if you're a fangirl with a predominantly female audience. Ahmed also shares how she's learnt to establish boundaries and protect her space as an emerging public figure in the book and film world. Plus, she gives her input on the girls' ongoing discussion about how much say fans should have in the casting of book adaptations and how fandoms play a large role in making these adaptations possible.

Olivia Wilde returns to the directors chair once again; after a terrific debut with Booksmart and the terrifically disappointing Don't Worry Darling. Has Wilde returned to form? Welcome to the dinner party from hell, clearly she's a fan of Come Dine With Me. In theatres now!

Olivia Wilde (The Invite, Booksmart, and Don't Worry Darling) is a director, actor, and filmmaker. Olivia joins Armchair Expert to discuss being raised by war-correspondent parents, growing up too fast on the Georgetown campus, and finding her footing at boarding school. Olivia and Dax talk about learning the wrong lessons in LA audition rooms, leaving The OC to chase movies, and making the jump from directing music videos to Booksmart. Olivia explains why the most personal work is usually the best work, how parenting teaches patience and humility, and why we need to relearn the art of disagreement.Check Allstate first for a quote that could save you hundreds: https://www.allstate.com/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this bonus episode of Booksmart, hosts Sunny Adcock and Allie Daisy King react to Prime Video's television adaptation of Carley Fortune's popular young adult romance novel, 'Every Summer After'.The show, titled 'Every Year After', dropped this week, hot on the heels of the streamer's very successful adaptation of Elle Kennedy's 'Off Campus' series, but the girls are divided on whether it'll satisfy existing fans of the novel or have enough impact to draw in new viewers.From major changes to the novel's characters and storyline to large age gaps among the central cast, there's certainly a lot to talk about (but don't worry, it's not all bad).Proceed with caution as this episode contains spoilers for the television series and the novel it's based on.*CORRECTION: In this episode, Sunny incorrectly criticises the casting of a Black character she misremembered as being described by the author as having "dark skin". Chantal is not described as such and we would like to apologise to actress Aurora Perrineau for the misinformation.You can purchase Carley Fortune's romance novels online with QBD Books using the following link:https://www.qbd.com.au/search/?q=Carley+Fortune&utm_source=Booksmartpod&utm_medium=MPPodcast&utm_campaign=BSMPCarlyFortune&utm_id=BooksmartCarlyFortune

THE FINAL SEASON COUNTDOWN BEGINS WITH PURE SITCOM CHAOS! Friends Season 10 Episodes 1-5 Full Retro Review & Reaction with John Humphrey and Aaron Alexander! Friends Season 10 Full Uncut Watch-Along:   / thereelrejects   Support The Channel By Getting Some REEL REJECTS Apparel! https://www.rejectnationshop.com/ In this highly anticipated show review and reaction, John and Aaron conquer a hilarious, nostalgia-fueled rewatch of the opening episodes of Season 10, checking out how the series balances massive comedic gags with the emotional setup for its legendary series finale. We unpack the incredible comedic timing and performances of the iconic main ensemble cast, starring Jennifer Aniston (The Morning Show, Murder Mystery) as the fashionable Rachel Green, Courteney Cox (Scream, Cougar Town) as the fiercely organized Monica Geller, and Lisa Kudrow (The Comeback, Booksmart) delivering pure legendary eccentricity as Phoebe Buffay. We also celebrate the unmatched chemistry of Matt LeBlanc (Man with a Plan, Episodes) as the lovable Joey Tribbiani, Matthew Perry (The Whole Nine Yards, 17 Again) bringing his signature brilliant sarcasm as Chandler Bing, and David Schwimmer (American Crime Story, Madagascar) delivering peak physical comedy as the high-strung paleontologist Ross Geller. Our hosts react to every single unforgettable running gag, legendary punchline, and relationship milestone this final season block throws at us. We break down the absolute comedy gold of the dramatic Barbados aftermath, including the messy, short-lived romantic pivot between Joey and Rachel, and Ross trying to cope with it in the worst way possible. We lose our minds over the iconic, laugh-out-loud brilliance of "The One With Ross's Tan," where a catastrophic spraying incident leaves him radically mismatched on one side, alongside the absolute chaos of his unhinged, high-pitched "I'm FINE!" dinner party meltdown over fajitas. From Monica's hilariously frizzy humidity hair struggle to Chandler and Monica navigating the daunting, high-stakes emotional journey of the adoption process, John and Aaron dive into why this opening block remains an absolute masterclass in network comedy history.

Vi er nå i måneden mai, som for mange er den store eksamensmåneden. Anne, Pauline og April har sett de tre filmene Mean Girls (2004), Booksmart (2019) og Rushmore (1998), som alle tar opp temaet eksamen og skolestress på ulike måter. 

In this very chaotic Booksmart special, Allie holds Sunny hostage to explain all thirteen books in the ever-expanding 'Off Campus' universe by Canadian author Elle Kennedy ahead of season one of the screen adaptation dropping on Prime Video on May 12.Elle Kennedy is one of the pioneers of the contemporary sports romance novel. Her first hockey romance novel, ‘The Deal', was released in 2015, years before the success of other beloved series like ‘Heated Rivalry' and ‘Icebreaker', which are also known for spending a great deal of time on the ice and in the bedroom.Proceed with caution as this episode contains huge spoilers for novels in the ‘Off Campus', ‘Briar U', and ‘Campus Diaries' series, as well as the standalone novel ‘Love Song'.You can purchase Elle Kennedy's sports romances online with QBD Books using the following link: https://www.qbd.com.au/search/?q=Elle+Kennedy&utm_source=Booksmartpod&utm_medium=MPPodcast&utm_campaign=BSMPElleKennedy&utm_id=BooksmartElleKennedy

This is not a drill. Gus Everett has been found (DEAD).

Spoiler: like the rest of the internet, they're not happy. Listen to find out why. 

What makes a good romance novel? What turns it from a read that that simply fills your time, into something occupying your mind, day and night, eliciting giggling and the kicking of one's feet?THAT is the question that Booksmart sets out to answer in today's episode, using B.K. Borison's And Now, Back to You as a case study.This episode is brought to you by QBD Books, bringing books to readers for 150 years.Buy a copy of the book here ⁠⁠https://www.qbd.com.au/and-now-back-to-you/bk-borison/9781035073917/?utm_source=Booksmartpod&utm_medium=MPPodcast&utm_campaign=BSMPBKBorison&utm_id=BookSmartBKBorisonAndNowBackToYou⁠

Does depicting taboo relationships automatically mean endorsing them? Does having an interesting personal story automatically make you a good storyteller? And further, how does an author follow up a seminal debut? These are the central questions that Sunny Adcock and Allie Daisy King set out to answer in today's episode of Booksmart, using writer and former child actor Jennette McCurdy's fiction debut, 'Half His Age', and her best-selling memoir, 'I'm Glad My Mom Died', as their case studies.You can buy 'Half His Age' at the following link: https://bit.ly/4u5sL0v

Susanna Fogel is a director, screenwriter, and novelist best known for her work in BOOKSMART and THE SPY WHO DUMPED ME. David Iserson is a filmmaker, writer, and producer best known for his work on MR. ROBOT, MAD MEN, and NEW GIRL. Iserson, alongside Fogel, served as co-creators, writers, and executive producers for the television series PONIES, a 70s-set spy thriller starring Emilia Clarke and Haley Lu Richardson. The series follows two PONIES ("persons of no interest") working anonymously as secretaries in the American Embassy until their husbands are killed under mysterious circumstances in the USSR, and the pair become CIA operatives.

What do book-to-screen adaptations owe their readers? And further, what makes a good adaptation? Should the goal of any adaptation be to appease existing fandoms or attract new ones? These are the central questions that Sunny Adcock and Allie Daisy King set out to answer in today's episode of Booksmart, using Emily Henry's 'People We Meet on Vacation', recently released on Netflix, as their case study.

Directed by Matt Bettinelli-Olpin & Tyler Gillett of Radio Silence, the film follows the surviving “Core Four” as they try to start fresh—only to discover that Ghostface is more brutal, personal, and relentless than ever. Melissa Barrera (In the Heights, Carmen) returns as Sam Carpenter, still grappling with her legacy as Billy Loomis' daughter while fighting to protect her family. Jenna Ortega (Wednesday, X) reprises Tara Carpenter, whose resilience is tested in some of the film's most nerve-shredding sequences. Jasmin Savoy Brown (Yellowjackets, The Leftovers) and Mason Gooding (Love, Victor, Booksmart) are back as Mindy and Chad Meeks-Martin, keeping the meta commentary alive as the body count rises. Franchise icon Courteney Cox (Friends, Cougar Town) returns as Gale Weathers, facing Ghostface once more in a high-stakes showdown, while Hayden Panettiere (Heroes, Nashville) makes a long-awaited return as Kirby Reed, now an FBI agent with unfinished business.

In the final episode of Booksmart for the year, Soaliha Iqbal sits down with acclaimed writer Zeynab Gamieldien to unpack her powerful new novel, Learned Behaviours. A gripping literary mystery set between western Sydney and the sharply stratified world of the legal profession, the novel follows Zaid Saban: a young man on the cusp of becoming a barrister, whose carefully curated life is disrupted when the past resurfaces in the form of his former best friend's diary.As Zaid and Amira, the sister of his childhood friend Hass, attempt to unravel what really happened the year Hass was arrested for murder, Learned Behaviours becomes a deeply moving exploration of guilt, innocence, privilege, belonging and the quiet violences we carry long after we've left home.In this chat, Soaliha and Zeynab dive into the novel's big questions: What does it mean to grow up between worlds? How does class shape the stories we tell about ourselves? And how can crime fiction be a tool for exposing injustice rather than reinforcing stereotypes? They discuss Zeynab's process for writing place with nuance, the emotional weight of returning to western Sydney on the page, and why this story resonates so profoundly with readers who have walked similar paths.With praise from critics calling the novel “a warm-hearted analysis of human nature,” “compelling and pacy,” and “a clear-eyed exploration of injustice and belonging,” this is a conversation that goes beyond the page: into craft, community, and the inherited narratives that shape who we become. We say this about every ep...but it's one not to be missed!!

In this week's episode of Booksmart, host Soaliha Iqbal sits down with award-winning author, artist, and screenwriter Dylin Hardcastle - the creative force behind Below Deck, Breathing Underwater, Running Like China, and the critically acclaimed A Language of Limbs, winner of the 2023 Kathleen Mitchell Award and longlisted for the 2025 Stella Prize (casually). Together, they dive deep into the making of A Language of Limbs - a sweeping, dual-perspective novel set across three decades, following two unnamed protagonists whose lives almost touch, collide, and diverge. Dylin shares how the novel's distinctive structure emerged, why they played with form (from fragmented vignettes to poetic passages and the absence of quotation marks), and the ways their own queer and trans embodiment shaped the book's language, texture, and emotional core.Soaliha and Dylin also unpack the novel's central focus: chosen family; the intimacy of sex as character development; the dance between pleasure and pain; and the intergenerational grief, rage, resilience, and joy of queer communities from the 1970s through the AIDS crisis to now. Dylin reflects on the responsibility of writing towards history with tenderness and accuracy, the surprising generational differences in how readers respond to depictions of violence and trauma, and why joy had to sit alongside devastation.They also explore the fascinating evolution of the book's cover (including the story behind the now-iconic photograph), how A Language of Limbs was optioned for television before publication (!!!), and how the adaptation expands the book's universe. ALSO - be sure to listen to the whole ep as Dylin offers an early glimpse into their next novel!

Today, we catch up with Kaitlyn Dever, originally episode 475 from 2022-09-21.Original writeup below:If you are unaware of Kaitlyn in your adventures through the wide world of broadcast media, prepare to make fast friends with a true great, and an absolute gem of a person at that. Kaitlyn's been putting down serious moves since childhood, including a Shakespeare stint at RADA (Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts for those pondering), and her filmography is stellar - ranging from Justified, to Dopesick, to Unbelievable, and more recently Ticket To Paradise (starring alongside Julia Roberts and George Clooney, where the cinema screen actually cracks midway through from so much gorgeous). This is a lovely chat, properly engaging and it's such a treat to hear Kaitlyn's story. OH and as Pip hints at in the intro, prepare for a Kaitlyn fact that will blow yer mind. She casually peppers it in there but thankfully Pip mashes on the brakes and reverses and double takes seamlessly. Enjoy!

The behind the scenes stories of two films some time in the making come together in this episode, starting with 1993's Jurassic Park. A film made at a point when Steven Spielberg's box office touch was being questioned. A movie that, had a battle for the rights gone the other way, could have been made by one of Tim Burton, Joe Dante or Richard Donner. As it was, Universal and Spielberg made the movie, and the Arnold Schwarzenegger-headlined Last Action Hero was set to go head-to-head with it. 2019's Booksmart meanwhile took ten years to get made, even though its budget was well under $10m. First time director Olivia Wilde had quite the pitch to earn the job behind the camera - but then had a battle to get audiences to the movie once she'd made it. Stories of both are told in this episode... Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
