The boys are back! (The boys from The Maze Runner series, that is.) Also back for this PMT minisode is host Laura Petro joined by Meggie Gates with a special appearance from Nick Olson for another installment of YA, We Watched It! After reading the entire Maze Runner series for their other podcast and watching the first film, it only makes sense for the team to sit down and dissect the sequel in this franchise (and adaptation of the second book). Will the movie do the book justice? Or will it take some unnecessary liberties that no one saw coming? (hint: it's the latter).
Tune in as Laura Petro and Meggie Gates (YA, We Read It!) hang out with Arthur for a review and recap of You, the 2014 debut novel by Caroline Kepnes. This psychological thriller is quite the wild ride, following bookstore clerk Joe Goldberg as he endeavors to show aspiring writer Guinevere Beck just how much he loves her and wants to take care of her—so much so that he's willing to stalk, kidnap, and murder his way into her heart. The chillingly fleshed-out layers that Kepnes has written for the monstrous Joe, the many literary and film references, reimagining Werner Herzog as a food critic, and the parts of the story that play out like a rom-com are just a few of the topics that the hosts cover. TW: stalking, murder, toxic relationship, misogyny, sexual content, drug abuse, infidelity, mentions of suicide, brief self-harm Spoilers start at 26:00 Good Word: • Meggie: Season 3 of Netflix's Love Is Blind • Laura: Season 31 of Survivor • Arthur: The House Across the Lake by Riley Sager Reach out at email2centscritic@yahoo.com if you want to recommend things to watch and read, share anecdotes, or just say hello!

As the secrets of the Stanza family pour out in the wake of a shocking murder, Detective Cary Winslow, a disgraced investigator and guest of the family's kindest daughter, Melody, must piece together the clues and find out who is killing people, and what they're trying to hide in the cavernous cellars of the eerie estate.Scripts starts 1:11:00StarringLaura PetroMary FialaMeggie GatesHobert ThompsonChad Trate
Tune in as Laura Petro and Meggie Gates (YA, We Read It!) hang out with Arthur for a recap of The Midnight Library by Matt Haig. This 2020 magical-realism take on the now-beloved Multiverse subgenre of speculative fiction follows 35-year-old Nora Seed as she ODs to escape her depressing life, which sends her off on a journey to navigate the countless versions of her life that have branched through the aforementioned multiverse. A few of the topics that the hosts chat about are mental health rep, the smell of menstrual blood being able to attract bears, multiverse media like Everything Everywhere All At Once and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, and whether or not abortion should have been pursued in the Domhnall Gleeson romance About Time.
