The Fake Ass Book Club hit the PopCon Indy stage for a special live recording, diving into Storm Issue #2 – “Chapter 2: Death by Voodoo.” Moni and Kat break down the action-packed storyline, from Storm's fierce confrontation with deadly enemies to the layered magic and mayhem at the heart of the comic. They explore Black representation in comics, the evolution of fandom culture, and why Storm remains one of the most iconic—and underappreciated—characters in the Marvel universe. Your favorite hosts also pitched their dream MCU storyline: a grown, goddess-level Storm crossing paths with none other than T'Challa's son. The sparks?! The possibilities?! Somebody call Ryan Coogler. The cherry on top? A surprise visit from The Normies podcast crew (https://www.youtube.com/Normies) mid-show, turning the episode into a full-on comic culture party. Whether you're a comic book head, casual fan, or just here for the laughs, this episode delivers insightful commentary, geeky joy, and a reminder that representation in the arts still, and always, matters.

C dans l'air l'invitée du 2 juillet 2025 avec Patricia Allémonière, grand reporter, auteure de "Au coeur du chaos", publié aux éditions Arthaud.Hier, l'écrivain franco-algérien Boualem Sansal a été condamné en appel à 5 ans de prison en Algérie. La veille, on apprenait qu'un journaliste français spécialisé dans le football, Christophe Gleizes, était, lui, condamné à 7 ans de prison pour "apologie du terrorisme", et "possession de publications dans un but de propagande nuisant à l'intérêt national". Concernant Boualem Sansal, la France a appelé à une "grâce humanitaire", à travers la voix de la porte-parole du gouvernement Sophie Primas. Concernant la peine infligée à Christophe Gleizes, le ministère français des Affaires étrangères a indiqué regretter "vivement la lourde condamnation à une peine de sept ans de prison ferme du journaliste ".Ces condamnations interviennent dans une séquence diplomatique tendue entre Paris et Alger, notamment depuis que le président Macron a acté la "reconnaissance" par la France de "la souveraineté marocaine sur le Sahara occidental". Patricia Allémonière, grand reporter, reviendra avec nous sur le contexte dans lequel ont lieu ces condamnations, et sur la relation entre Paris et Alger.

Welcome back FAB FAM! This week, the ladies reluctanly reviewed Tyler Perry's straw. In Straw, Tyler Perry delivers a tense psychological drama that explores the breaking point of a seemingly ordinary woman pushed to her emotional and moral limits.

 Welcome back! This week, the ladies disect Sex and the City, which began as a newspaper column by Candace Bushnell for The New York Observer (1994–1996), chronicling the romantic escapades and social lives of Bushnell and her friends in New York. The columns were compiled into a 1996 book that inspired the hit HBO series, two films, and the Max revival “And Just Like That…Candace Bushnell's alter ego, Carrie, serves as our narrator. She introduces readers to characters like Carrie, Mr. Big, and Samantha—navigating love, status, and sex in a world of privilege, parties, and heartbreak. The book isn't a traditional novel but rather a collection of loosely connected essays and vignettes. It paints a portrait of a certain type of single woman—successful, savvy, and navigating a social world where love is often transactional and appearances mean everything. You've seen them on HBO, but this is the book that started it all.*Please be advised this episode is intended for adult audiences and contains adult language and content.

C dans l'air l'invité du 16 mai 2025 avec Patricia Allémonière, grand reporter, auteure de "Au coeur du chaos", publié aux éditions Arthaud.Les délégations ukrainienne et russe, sous médiation turque, ont entamé vendredi à Istanbul leurs premières négociations directes depuis le printemps 2022 pour trouver une issue à la guerre. Mais en l'absence des présidents Volodymyr Zelensky et Vladimir Poutine, qui a ordonné à son armée d'envahir l'Ukraine le 24 février 2022 et n'a pas fait le déplacement en Turquie, les espoirs de progrès substantiels sont jugés minces. La délégation russe est emmenée par le conseiller présidentiel Vladimir Medinski, qualifié la veille par le président Zelensky de "pure façade". Les Européens et Kiev avaient réclamé un cessez-le-feu préalable avant toute discussion entre Kiev et Moscou. Une demande rejetée par M. Poutine. "Il est d'une importance cruciale qu'un cessez-le-feu soit mis en œuvre dès que possible", a insisté vendredi le ministre turc des Affaires étrangères Hakan Fidan. La Russie "ne veut pas la paix", a déploré le même jour la cheffe de la diplomatie de l'UE, Kaja Kallas.Patricia Allémonière, grand reporter, reviendra avec nous sur ce rendez-vous manqué entre les présidents russe et ukrainien, et sur les espoirs de paix en Ukraine. Des négociations directes pourraient-elles avoir lieu ? A quoi joue Vladimir Poutine ? Des avancées pourraient-elle sortir des discussions entre les délégations ?

Welcome back! This week the ladies explore "The Personal Librarian" by Marie Benedict and Victoria Christopher Murray—a stunning historical fiction novel based on the real life of Belle da Costa Greene, a Black woman who passed as white to rise through the ranks of elite society in the early 1900s. Handpicked by J.P. Morgan himself, Belle becomes the personal librarian to one of the most powerful men in the world and curates a collection that would define literary prestige. But, behind her poise and power, lies a daily negotiation of identity and survival. The hosts explore Belle's dual existence, the cost of racial passing, and the brilliance she brought to a world that would've rejected her if they'd known her truth.

Mitä seurauksia sodalla on jälkipolville? Moni meistä on kuullut isovanhempien kertomuksia sodasta ja lukenut tai katsonut Tuntemattoman sotilaan. Sota on osa yhteistä kansallista muistiamme. Mutta voivatko sodan kauhut siirtyä kuultujen kertomusten lisäksi jälkipolville myös perimässä? Nyt asiaa tutkitaan historian- ja epigenetiikan tutkijoiden toimesta. Historioitsijat ovat laatineet sotilaiden kantakorteista kattavan tietokannan, ja nyt se yhdistetään ensimmäistä kertaa maailmassa laajoihin terveystietoaineistoihin. Asiantuntijoina ovat historiantutkija Ville Kivimäki Suomalaisen Kirjallisuuden seurasta, tutkijatohtori Ilari Taskinen kokemuksen historian huippuyksiköstä Tampereen yliopistosta ja akatamiatutkija Emma Raitoharju Tampereen yliopistosta. Toimittajana on Pirjo Koskinen.

Welcome back! This week the ladies are back at it, diving headfirst into the eerie, satirical world of Black Mirror in its long-awaited Season . Known for its sharp commentary on our tech-obsessed lives, the anthology returns with six new episodes. This time, our hosts zoom in on the follow-up to fan-favorite, (and Kat's) USS Callister. With Daly out of the picture, Captain Nanette now leads the digital crew in USS Callister: Into Infinity—but things are far from safe. In a world where they're perceived as just pixels in a game, survival becomes terrifyingly real. The hosts unpack the episode's themes of autonomy, personhood, and the chilling implications of virtual existence.*Please be advised this episode is intended for adult audiences and contains adult language and content.

In this gripping episode, the hosts delve into Netflix's "Adolescence", a harrowing four-part British crime drama that has captivated audiences worldwide. The series centers on 13-year-old Jamie Miller, whose arrest for the brutal murder of his classmate, Katie Leonard, shatters his seemingly ordinary family. As the investigation unfolds, the narrative explores Jamie's descent into online radicalization, exposing the dangerous influence of incel culture and toxic masculinity on vulnerable youth. Through intense performances and a unique one-shot filming technique, Adolescence offers a chilling commentary on the perils of digital indoctrination and the societal factors that can lead to unimaginable acts. The hosts examine the series' unflinching portrayal of modern adolescence and the urgent conversations it sparks about online habits, parental awareness, and the fragility of young minds. Tune in and enjoy, Cheers!

C dans l'air l'invitée du 14 avril 2025 : Patricia Allémonière, grand reporter, auteure de "Au cœur du Chaos", publié aux éditions ArthaudLe ton est remonté d'un cran lundi entre la France et l'Algérie avec l'annonce, par Paris, de la décision des autorités algériennes d'expulser douze fonctionnaires français, au risque de représailles. Alger a demandé à ces agents de quitter son territoire, a fait savoir lundi le ministre français des Affaires étrangères Jean-Noël Barrot, précisant que cette décision était une réponse à l'arrestation de trois ressortissants algériens en France. Vendredi en effet, trois hommes, dont l'un employé de l'un des consulats d'Algérie en France, ont été mis en examen à Paris notamment pour arrestation, enlèvement, séquestration ou détention arbitraire, en relation avec une entreprise terroriste, selon le parquet national antiterroriste français. Ils ont été placés en détention provisoire."Si la décision de renvoyer nos agents était maintenue, nous n'aurons d'autre choix que d'y répondre immédiatement", a averti le ministre des Affaires étrangères français Jean-Noël Barrot lundi. Ces échanges tendus des derniers jours contrastent avec la volonté affichée tout récemment des deux pays de relancer leur relation bilatérale. Début avril, le ministre des Affaires étrangères s'était entretenu avec son homologue Ahmed Attaf et avec le président algérien Abdelmadjid Tebboune, pour faire part du souhait de la France de "tourner la page des tensions actuelles" depuis Alger.

In this episode, host Corey Nathan welcomes back Monica Guzmán, Senior Fellow for Public Practice at Braver Angels, host of A Braver Way podcast, CEO of Reclaim Curiosity, and author of I Never Thought of It That Way: How to Have Fearlessly Curious Conversations in Dangerously Divided Times. Monica's mission is to help bridge America's political divides through fearless curiosity. With deep reflections on the 2024 election, evolving friendships across ideological lines, and her renewed commitment to bridge building, Monica shares how we can stay grounded and connected—especially when it feels impossible. What We Discuss: How Moni processes political polarization and stays grounded—even when the world feels divided Practical strategies for engaging with people across ideological lines without compromising your values Why shared outrage across political lines can be a gateway to unity The role of empathy, humility, and curiosity in depolarizing conversations How journalists and moderators can better navigate falsehoods without censoring legitimate concerns Episode Highlights: [00:03:00] – Mónica explains how her emotional radar helps her know when to seek out conversations with people who see politics differently. [00:08:00] – Unexpected agreement: conservatives and liberals are both frustrated with Congressional dysfunction and executive overreach. [00:14:00] – Moni shares how talking with people who had different experiences during COVID reshaped her understanding and empathy. [00:21:00] – Corey and Mónica discuss boundaries in bridge building—when is it time to walk away from a relationship?

[00:46:00] – Tips for recognizing quality journalism and avoiding emotionally manipulative content. [00:56:00] – Mónica's closing advice: engagement is not endorsement. Curiosity and conversation don't mean you're compromising your values.

Having a conversation doesn't mean you're capitulating.” – Mónica Guzmán “Find your edge—and push it. That's all you need to do to build a bridge.” – Mónica Guzmán “I don't want a decision or a position to get in the way of our relationship.

In this episode, the ladies dive into Confessions of a Video Vixen and Vindicated by Karrine Steffans, exploring the highs, lows, and lessons (or lack thereof) from her journey. They examine her troubled childhood, her rise to fame in the hip-hop industry, and the factors that led to her infamous reputation as “Superhead.” While Confessions exposed the toxic power dynamics of the industry, Vindicated raises a bigger question for our hosts—has Steffans truly grown, or is she still caught in the same cycles? Our hosts analyze her past and present relationships, including her recent entanglement with celebrity chef Kwame Onwuachi and ask: Is she the empowered feminist she claims to be, or is she still repeating the same toxic cycles? Tune in for a no-holds-barred discussion on fame, agency, and what it really means to break free from the past. Cheers!

Sometimes life throws a curveball, and this weekend was no exception—one of our hosts (Kat) was in a car accident and ended up with a slight concussion (don't worry, she's okay!). Since recording the usual episode wasn't in the cards, the ladies did what they do best—kept it F.A.B. and pushed through.This week, they're sharing an episode normally reserved for Patreon subscribers—meaning it's wayyy more candid, unsensored, and even features an unexpected guest drop-in! It's not as structured, but it's still our hosts being their opinionated, funny, and unfiltered selves. Hope you all enjoy the conversation! Cheers!
