ACOFAE Podcast Presents: Cruel Intentions: “I'm the Marcia F###ing Brady of the Upper East Side…” It's back to school season and what better way to kick it off than with Cruel Intentions. Set in the late 90's in New York City, Cruel Intentions throws us back to a time when cell phones we're large and used for CALLS, but blackmail and manipulation are the same then as now. Always getting dumped for innocent girls, Katheryn is out for revenge on her ex-boyfriend and the new girl, Cecile. Cecile's mother wants Katheryn to mentor Cecile before the school year starts to get her adjusted to a coeducational setting. Sebastian is the black sheep step-brother and ruiner of reputations. Annette is the crux of it all. What follows is a story that ruins lives, reputations, and prospects while also uplifting truth and acceptance of others and yourself. The soundtrack is fantastic, the cinematography and sets are gorgeous, and the LOGISTICS are the bane of Jessica Marie's life. "Are you in? Or are you out?"

I sat down with author/comedian Elizabeth Redmond and discussed her amazing novel, "The Final Resting Place of a Butterfly." I really enjoyed this book; the imagery was palpable and touched upon all of the five senses, it made you feel like you were really there in the midst of the Mexican Revolution. Redmond's novel also deals with themes such as multiculturalism, dealing with narcissistic abuse, generational trauma, and feminism. This book truly pulled on my heartstrings, and I highly advise people to check it out.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/bad-book-bash--5889791/support.

ACOFAE Podcast Presents: Oathbound If you've been following the podcast for a while you know that the Legendborn Cycle has a special place in the hearts of Laura Marie and Jessica Marie, for so many reasons. One of those many reasons is the beautiful way that the story depicts grief and all of the way that it can effect a person. That and so much more is the focus of Oathbound, where Bree finds herself in an extended training montage and side characters become main characters and main characters are sidelined. All things lead to an auction of that contains all of the items that all of the characters are questing for, the only real question is: Who are all these people? Because with Bree's training comes conditions and those conditions will impact decisions in the present and in the future. "That was rash!"

ACOFAE Podcast Presents: Bride: "I'd be Alpha." Hey, ACOFAE aren't prudes. You've probably been thinking that recently, but Laura Marie and Jessica Marie promise that they are not, and Bride will prove it! Misery is a vampire in a world where humans, werewolves, and vampires have carved out a truce by way of using collateral— children— to guarantee peace. When Misery's father comes to her and tells her that she will be the bride in a marriage to broker peace between the vampires and the werewolves, what follows is an unlearning of assumptions and stereotypes on both sides. Filled with all the best tropes and partnered with characters that have major chemistry, Bride is a delight from start to finish. "Not knot, but not not knot."

This is part 2 of this week's episode. In this episode of Book Talk for BookTok, we dive into Chapters 27–34 of Crown of Midnight by Sarah J. Maas. With 13 years of combined academic training, we explore how metaphors, foreshadowing, symbolism, plot devices, and imagery reveal the devastating turning point in Celaena Sardothien's journey. This section delivers some of the most shocking moments in the series: Celaena's bloody rescue mission, Chaol's brutal capture, and the unthinkable loss of Nehemia that sends ripples across Erilea. From themes of power, grief, and identity to the fatal flaws in Celaena and Chaol's love story, we break down how Sarah J. Maas uses violent imagery, emotional misdirection, and tragic irony to shatter both her characters and readers. This week we ask:“If we think the fallout of Nehemia's death is not earned, then how would we change it?” Join us as we analyze: How SJM sets up joy as a harbinger of tragedy The symbolism of Celaena shedding weapons and what it means for her identity Why Chaol's loyalty becomes his fatal flaw The mask of Adarlan's Assassin and how trauma drives Celaena's rage The parallels between Sam's death, Nehemia's fate, and Celaena's breaking point How power dynamics and secrets destroy relationships Is this the moment that changes everything for Celaena, Chaol, and Dorian? And does the emotional weight of Nehemia's death feel truly earned? Perfect for fans searching for: Crown of Midnight analysis, Throne of Glass breakdown, Sarah J. Maas literary analysis, Chaol and Celaena relationship, Nehemia death discussion, SJM foreshadowing, romantasy podcast. Share your thoughts for a chance to be featured!

Check out our thoughts on this bad, bad book before we watch the bad, bad movie!Hey book nerds! This week Colin O'Brien (Just For Laughs) and Michael Wolf (Comedy Central, MTV), hosts of the Literati podcast, forced us to read Congo by Michael Crichton. This book spent 12 weeks on the NYT bestseller list in 1980 and was later adapted to a movie in 1995 (unfortunately not starring Sean Connery). But WHY? Mean Book Club breaks it down.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. It's fun. It's cathartic. It's perfect for your commute. New podcast (almost) every Tuesday! Send any future book suggestions to meanbookclub@gmail.com! Follow us on the socials @meanbookclub!

In this episode of Book Talk for BookTok, we dive into Chapters 27–34 of Crown of Midnight by Sarah J. Maas. With 13 years of combined academic training, we explore how metaphors, foreshadowing, symbolism, plot devices, and imagery reveal the devastating turning point in Celaena Sardothien's journey. This section delivers some of the most shocking moments in the series: Celaena's bloody rescue mission, Chaol's brutal capture, and the unthinkable loss of Nehemia that sends ripples across Erilea. From themes of power, grief, and identity to the fatal flaws in Celaena and Chaol's love story, we break down how Sarah J. Maas uses violent imagery, emotional misdirection, and tragic irony to shatter both her characters and readers. This week we ask:“If we think the fallout of Nehemia's death is not earned, then how would we change it?” Join us as we analyze: How SJM sets up joy as a harbinger of tragedy The symbolism of Celaena shedding weapons and what it means for her identity Why Chaol's loyalty becomes his fatal flaw The mask of Adarlan's Assassin and how trauma drives Celaena's rage The parallels between Sam's death, Nehemia's fate, and Celaena's breaking point How power dynamics and secrets destroy relationships Is this the moment that changes everything for Celaena, Chaol, and Dorian? And does the emotional weight of Nehemia's death feel truly earned? Perfect for fans searching for: Crown of Midnight analysis, Throne of Glass breakdown, Sarah J. Maas literary analysis, Chaol and Celaena relationship, Nehemia death discussion, SJM foreshadowing, romantasy podcast. Part 2 drops Thursday—don't miss it!

ACOFAE Podcast Presents: Eurotrip: "King. Cooper." A movie that represents: a time, a place, a feeling, a moment is absolutely Eurotrip. Placed firmly alongside other raunchy comedies of its time, Eurotrip may have gone under the radar for some people but not ACOFAE. It's the summer after High School graduation and Scotty is happy with his girlfriend, Fiona, his best friend, Cooper, his plans to work with his dad all summer, and his German pen pal who is awesome and also a guy. Except that Fiona is cheating and dumps Scotty immediately after graduation and Cooper facilitates a trip for them to go to Berlin to meet the German penpal who IS NOT a guy. Scotty's German is schlecht. What follows are European shenanigans and lots of full frontal male nudity which is/was a welcome change of things. "Scotty doesn't know that's Matt Damon."
