ACOFAE Podcast Presents: Crossroads: "The legendary Ms. Britney Spears." It's hard to describe just how famous Britney Spears was in the early 2000s. Before social media, fame was a different machine and nowhere is that more clear than in Crossroads. Filled with everything ACOFAE loves, Crossroads is especially great at showing female friendships throughout the ups and downs of growing up. Yearning for a third place, Crossroads finds three friends going on a roadtrip to audition for a record label. A time, a place, a vibe. Along the way are shenanigans that bond and little side quests that let the other characters shine. A movie that could only be made when it was, Crossroads shows us a mega star at her peak, marketing at it's peak, and one of the last true girlhood movies of the early 2000's. By the ocean.

ACOFAE Podcast Presents: Shadowhunters: Better in Black: "Back with old friends." Longtime listeners will know that December is when Laura Marie and Jessica Marie cover Shadowhunters as their own Yuletide tradition for the pod. Not breaking the tradition, this year ACOFAE is reading Better in Black -- a kickstarter book that got traditionally published. Laura Marie and Jessica Marie are bitches who love Easter Eggs and this book delivers. Featuring an on air live connection made by Jessica Marie, Better in Black is a collection of 10 love stories that feature tried and true couples with a sprinkling of side characters and plot. A book that has whispers and hints (in Laura Marie's opinion) of the yet to be released Wicked Powers, Better in Black seems to be stories that have no bigger consequence to the wider world, until they don't. Until maybe, just maybe that sweetness may come into play. Join ACOFAE as they theorize (YES! REALLY!) on the end of the Shadowhunters and they gush and tear up to these stories and the updates on the lives of our fictional friends.

LiteraturPur #68: Wann beginnt Gewalt in einer Beziehung. Und wie befreit man sich aus einer toxischen, gewalttätigen Partnerschaft? Diese Frage beschäftigt Jessica Jurassica in ihrem neuen Roman «Gaslicht». Sie erzählt darin von einer Frau, die «Gaslighting» erlebt. Das ist eine Form von psychischer Gewalt, von Manipulation durch Lügen und Verunsicherung. Im Gespräch erzählt Jessica Jurassica, bekannt als Kunstfigur, die immer mit Gasmaske auftritt, wie sie sich mit dieser fiktionalen Autobiografie sozusagen freigeschrieben hat. Wie sie durch eine lange Reise, durch Distanz und eben über das Schreiben ihre traumatische Erfahrung mit sexualisierter Gewalt verarbeiten konnte. Und wir reden über ihre Vorfahrinnen, denen sie dabei begegnet ist. Ihren Ururgrossmüttern, die der Armut entfliehen wollten und ausgewandert sind.  Jessica Jurassica «Gaslicht» ist erschienen bei lectorbooks

ACOFAE Podcast Proudly Presents: Showgirls x The Life of a Showgirl: "Men are usually the villain." If you've been a long time listener then you know that getting the movie Showgirls on the pod is a WIN for Laura Marie. Pairing it with a discussion about Taylor Swift's new album release, The Life of a Showgirl, is a match made in heaven for Jessica Marie! This being Jessica Marie's very first NC-17 film is a win for everyone and ACOFAE has so much to say. Kicking off the discussion with a full breakdown of the movie Showgirls, ACOFAE is in awe of the production. Sparking discussions about shedding child star image, internalized misogyny, and sexual freedom, the movie Showgirls is a spectacle for the eyes and for the brain. Taylor's discussion focuses on how women can't do anything right in the eyes of society, and that it seems to be that pain is rewarded instead of joy - and that joy makes women talentless. Join ACOFAE as they explore all of the storylines in both the movie and the album, and come to the conclusion that women just can't be happy without criticism.

What does it take to make human art today? Is worth it? We kick off a new series on Indie Publishing with my dear friend and found-sister Angie Kelly today! Welcome to Episode 1. On this episode, Angie and I work to pull back the curtain on the emotional and economic substrate behind a book: the thousands of quiet hours, the minimum‑wage calculus, the edits that cost more than many tired authors even earn, and the launch-day silence that can follow years of work.From there, Angie and I dive into the attention economy bent on reshaping how readers discover books, and all art, from BookTok and Bookstagram to other strange realities that can crown a title overnight, and we highlight how trend saturation squeezes nuance and human-ness, leaving quieter and highly crafted novels invisible. Angie speaks well on why publishers chase velocity, why flashy debuts can fizzle just as fast, and how fan-fiction-to-film pipelines and algorithm-friendly marketing pathways distort realities of art.If you care about books built by human hearts, you'll find both something here. Join us, subscribe, and share this episode with a reader or writer who needs it!Angelina Kelly is an indie author and biologist who was born and raised in Alaska and has an inherent love for nature. She now lives in British Columbia where she works as a biologist and writes epic fantasy books that weave in her reverence for wilderness and the natural world. Learn more about Angie's work and books HERE!Learn more about Daniel's work and books HERE!

“The stories aren't about violence—they're about the preciousness of life. Each one is a reminder that this could happen to anyone.” — Jude Berman Jude Berman grew up surrounded by books and cultural diversity, thanks to her refugee parents. After a career in academic research and running independent presses, she turned her attention to her own writing. In this episode of Uncorking a Story, Jude rejoins me to discuss her latest work, Shot: A Dictionary of the Lost, a collection of 26 short stories exploring the human toll of gun violence. Together, we explore her unique publishing journey, the role of age and experience in writing, and the power of fiction to build empathy and spark conversation.   Key Themes Writing vs. Publishing Journeys: Jude explains the difference between building a life as a writer and actually getting published. Many of her books began in a drawer before finally seeing the light of day. Age as a Strength: Jude emphasizes that writers often improve with age, bringing lived experience, wisdom, and deeper perspective to their work. Breaking the Catch-22: The publishing industry favors young, “malleable” voices, but often at the expense of stronger writing that emerges later in life. The Making of Shot: The 26 stories, one for each letter of the alphabet, “came through” her almost like a download, highlighting the role of intuition and channeling in the creative process. On Gun Violence: While tackling a heavy topic, Jude frames her stories as celebrations of life, not gratuitous violence. Her goal: to remind readers that gun violence can touch anyone, anywhere. The Empathy Factor: Fiction can serve as a powerful tool for building empathy, allowing readers to experience perspectives without having to live them firsthand. The Twist Ending: Without spoilers, Jude shares that the final story in Shot points toward hope and change, setting it apart from the rest of the collection.  Buy Shot: A Dictionary of the Lost Amazon: https://amzn.to/4mhLS28 Bookshop.org: https://bookshop.org/a/54587/9781647429287 Connect with Jude Website: https://judeberman.com/ Substack: https://judeberman.substack.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/judebermanauthor Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jude.berman/ BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/judeberman.bsky.social LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/judeberman Threads: https://www.threads.net/@jude.berman TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@judeberman YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@judeberman-author Connect with Mike Website: https://uncorkingastory.com/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSvS4fuG3L1JMZeOyHvfk_g Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/uncorkingastory/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@uncorkingastory Twitter: https://twitter.com/uncorkingastory Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/uncorkingastory LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/uncorking-a-story/ If you like this episode, please share it with a friend.
