 It's episode 205 and time for us to talk about our favourite reads of 2024! We discuss fiction and non-fiction books we read for the podcast, plus comics, videos, music, and more! You can download the podcast directly, find it on Libsyn, or get it through Apple Podcasts or your favourite podcast delivery system. In this episode Anna Ferri | Meghan Whyte | Matthew Murray

These two films map so brilliantly onto one another. They are neither of them quite what we would call a rom com but, in both cases, for interesting reasons. A Family Affair Year: 2024 Written by: Carrie Solomon Directed by: Richard LaGravenese Stars: Nicole Kidman, Zac Effron, Joey King The Idea of You Year: 2024 Screenplay by: Michael Showalter and Jennifer Westfeldt Novel by: Robinne Lee Directed by: Michael Showalter Stars: Anne Hathaway, Nicholas Galatzine, Ella Rubin   Show notes: “Maybe you're an amazing duck” - Lisa Findley's message for Zac Efron. By the way, we don't mean to dismiss or belittle anyone who is in their early twenties (or younger). We are in our forties. It feels like a long time ago. If you would like to skip the plot summary for this month's film you can spool forward about fourteen and a quarter minutes into the episode. In this episode we mention the films: High School Musical (2006) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0475293/) Born On The Fourth Of July (1989) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0096969/) Mission: Impossible (1996) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0117060/) The Break-up (2006) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0452594/)  Red, White & Royal Blue* (2023) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt10172266/) *This film has previously been featured on the podcast. Correction: Harry Styles was just 16 years old in 2010 when he auditioned for the TV show The X Factor, which lead to him becoming part of One Direction (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Styles). Robbie Williams was also 16 when he joined Take That in 1990 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robbie_Williams). Next month we are going to watch Going The Distance (2010) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1322312/).  If you would like to suggest films for future episodes, you can tweet Lisa: @LisaStowaway.

Anything but this, frankly. Anyone But You Year: 2023 Screenplay by: Ilana Wolpert and Will Gluck Story by: Ilana Wolpert  Directed by: Will Gluck Stars: Sydney Sweeney, Glen Powell   Show notes: Apologies to anyone who liked this film. We lay into it pretty comprehensively. But then, honestly, any time you want to set yourself up against William Shakespeare you'd better bring your very best (in our humble opinion). If you would like to skip the plot summary for this month's film you can spool forward a little over thirteen minutes into the episode. In this episode we talk a lot about the play Much Ado About Nothing by William Shakespeare, which this film makes much of being based on. You can read about it here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Much_Ado_About_Nothing. We also mention the films: Titanic (1997) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120338/) Much Ado About Nothing (1993) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0107616/)  Red, White & Royal Blue* (2023) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt10172266/) My Best Friend's Wedding (1997) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0119738/) Set It Up (2018) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5304992/) Friends With Benefits* (2011) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1632708/) And the TV show The Bear (2022- ) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt14452776/) *Films marked with an asterisk have previously been featured on the podcast. The Ashton Kutcher film Charles Adrian is trying to get Lisa to watch for the podcast is A Lot Like Love (2005) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0391304/).   Next month we are going to watch Housesitter (1992) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0104452/).

Host note: at some points during recording, Chelsea uses the incorrect pronouns when discussing the author. This was unintentional. Casey McQuiston uses they/them pronouns. CW: Queer outing In the most long-awaited second part of season four's bookish two-part bonus extravaganza, Chelsea and Madison discuss Casey McQuiston's Red, White & Royal Blue (2019). This episode is a longtime coming-- both in how excited Madison and Chelsea were to discuss a book they love so dearly and with how long it took Madison to actually edit it and get it published. Fear not, gentle listeners, tech goblins and antibiotic-resistant strep will not keep a good woman (and pod) down! Listen as our hosts get to the heart of the novel and what the movie simply couldn't capture due to the restraints of its movie form. Most of all, just sit back, relax, and remember that the night this was recorded, Casey McQuiston and the RWRB movie team announced there is a sequel to the first movie in the works.

The cinematic world of love and laughter had rom-com enthusiast Madison head over heels from the time Harry met Sally. For genre skeptic Chelsea, however, it's been a grueling enemies-to-lovers plot. In Love at First Screening, Madison introduces Chelsea to all the fan-favorite love stories she's never wanted to watch. One friend's passion might be the other's displeasure, but doesn't love conquer all? Tune in every Wednesday to find out.

CW: Queer outing In the first part of season four's bookish two-part bonus extravaganza, Chelsea and Madison discuss the film adaptation of Casey McQuiston's Red, White & Royal Blue (2023). In this first episode, they discuss the movie as a standalone film and explore both how it fits into the rom-com genre, but also how it fits into queer media as a whole. Listen in as they discuss how the film manages to address more serious topics than your average rom com while still maintaining a tone of levity. Also, Madison promises that she does eventually find her way to the point she is making, but is very grateful that Chelsea is there to help steer her back to it.

The thrilling conclusion of the international romance is here! Part 3 of our Red White & Royal Blue read along and things are starting to fall apart... Not only has the prince and FSOTUS's romance fallen into an eerie silence, there may be a leak of the time they've spent together to the press! Will they make it through this tumultuous period? Find out on the I Can't Read Podcast!

What's this? Could the US President's son and one of the royal princes of England be secretly into each other? Surely they wouldn't... KISS? Let's hope no one at the New Year's Eve party saw, and let's doubly hope no one sees what the boys get up to next in Red White and Royal Blue!

It's time to build some international relations between our two great nations by exchanging the national twinks in Red White & Royal Blue! One of the United Kingdom's princes is forced to kiss and make up with the son of the US president after a very public mishap at a royal wedding. But could there be more between them than just a petty rivalry?

Introduction: Minutes 0 to 6:00 This is our last podcast of 2023 and we plan to be back January 13. I watched The Happiest Season on Hulu and loved it. Chandra watched May December and enjoyed it but says it's a downer. I'm excited for Reacher season two. Chandra will start the final episodes of The Crown. She tried watching Red, White & Royal Blue but it made her feel old. I watched the documentaries The Mission on Disney and Bad Surgeon on Netflix. Royals: Minutes (6:00) to 23:15 Last week on Friday Kate had her third annual Together at Christmas concert. This was one of her successes that Omid Scobie mentioned in Endgame. Camilla and Charles didn't go. Sophie, Beatrice, Zara, Eugenie and Kate's family including her sister and her mom and dad came. The Middletons have been keeping a low profile since their business went bankrupt, owing creditors millions. Kate wore an all white suit that was straight out of Meghan's lookbook. In last week's episode #165 we talked about the fact that the royal racists, Kate and Charles, were accidentally released in the Dutch translation of Omid Scobie's Endgame. Scobie wrote an essay for iNews in which he explained how that happened. We also mentioned last week that the royals had crisis talks and were planning a “charm offensive” in response to Endgame. There were some vague legal threats in the press but they plan to just act like everything is fine like they always do. King Charles visited the court that will preside over Prince Harry's case against the Mirror just a day before their ruling! Chandra doesn't think Prince Harry will win his royal protection case but that he's pursuing it so that it's all on the record. Part of the “charm offensive” involves the royals doing more charity work, although Kate hasn't been seen much. There was an article that Kate would get revenge on the Sussexes by getting good press. Camilla Tominey had a series of articles about how Meghan hates Kate and it was clearly projection. Kate took all three of her children to visit a Baby Bank and they actually brought donations with them. It was one of the best things they've done in months, however they were criticized by anti-poverty advocates for normalizing charity instead of advocating for systemic change. William visited a charity for unhoused people he works with called Passages. He was seen hugging people and the Daily Mail reported on that and called him the “Prince of Hugs.” After Omid Scobie reported in Endgame that Prince Edward is a germaphobe the palace released a video where he's uncomfortably shaking people's hands. The Sussexes released a cute video of their charity work with Archewell this year along with the foundation's impact report. The press poured over the numbers and criticized them for only raising $2 million this year, which is ridiculous. They raised more in their first two years after starting their foundation, and they haven't “spent” all of that money. They also gave their staffers raises. Here's a link to one of the tweets Chandra mentions about royal staffers being jealous. Richard Eden wrote a column calling for Harry and Meghan's titles to be stripped and for Harry and his kids to be removed from the line of succession. This argument invalidates the whole “magic blood club” reasoning for the royalty if Harry can just be excluded. The Sun reported that a source said that Charles “will not be emotionally blackmailed by his own son” in regard to the royal racist reveal in the Dutch version of Endgame. Harry had nothing to do with Endgame and these people know how they treated him. Kate and William released a black and white family Christmas photo. They were all wearing black jeans and white button down shirts and it was giving Olan Mills 1994. We wonder why they didn't make it more Christmassy. Us Weekly reported that they were embarrassed by that. Comments of the week: Minutes (23:15) to end Chandra's comment of the week is from Nic919 the post about The Crown showing how Carole Middleton meddled in Kate's relationship with William. My comment of the week is from atlantababe on the post about Jennifer Aniston saying she didn't use an intimacy coordinator on the set of The Morning Show. Thanks for listening bitches!

Remember episode four featuring “Red, White, & Royal Blue” by Casey McQuiston? Get ready for our take on the movie adaptation. Available on Amazon, this romantic comedy is directed by Matthew López and depicts a developing love affair between the son of the president of the United States (Taylor Zakhar Perez) and a British prince (Nicholas Galitzine). Clifton Collins Jr., Sarah Shahi, Rachel Hilson, Stephen Fry, and Uma Thurman appear in supporting roles. Don't miss our thoughts on the actors, revised storyline, and more!

Queerly Recommended is here to celebrate the resolution of the SAG-AFTRA strike — and also that we'll be covering queer holiday-themed content this year! Labor rights are of the utmost importance and we would have supported the strike as long as it took, but we're excited to bring you Christmas treats next month, too. In addition to talking about the outcome of the strike (there's a lot of good here, but some troubling portents for the future), Kris talks about good vs bad queer kissing in films. Tara goes on to discuss the benefits of feeling uncomfortable.  Official Recommendations From Kris: Red, White & Royal Blue (2023) This week, Kris dives into the 2023 film Red, White & Royal Blue, the cinematic adaptation of Casey McQuiston's m/m novel of the same name. It's a high-powered romance featuring the son of the American president and a British prince. Kris wants you to know that the chemistry is hot, hot, hot, and the cast is out of this world.  From Tara: Flung Out of Space: Inspired by the Indecent Adventures of Patricia Highsmith, by Grace Ellis and Hannah Templer (Illustrator) Tara recommends the graphic novel, Flung Out of Space: Inspired by the Indecent Adventures of Patricia Highsmith, by Grace Ellis and Hannah Templer (Illustrator). It's a fictionalized imagining of how Patricia Highsmith came to write The Price of Salt, aka Carol, and it doesn't shy away from Highsmith's flaws. This story invites us to hold two truths at the same time: The Price of Salt is a foundational text in the sapphic canon that saved an inestimable number of lives and Highsmith held awful views and exhibited ugly behaviors. This exploration of her life and times will leave you with a deeper appreciation of our history and can't be missed.

This book has been all over our FYP on TikTok, so we finally caved into peer pressure (literally between ourselves and our brains) to cover this book!

In Episode 205, “Fanfluencers,” Flourish and Elizabeth use a listener voicemail on fan screenings for Red, White & Royal Blue to dive into a broader conversation about influencers, fandom, and the Hollywood strikes. Marketers today know more about fans than they ever have before, and more types of properties are both targeting and featuring fans in their promotional campaigns. How does that sit within the broader entertainment ecosystem—and what does it mean for fan communities?

Brennan, Nicole & Mama K talk about the baffling new streaming rom-com Red, White & Royal Blue, available on

Brenna and Joe are late to Casey McQuiston's phenom Red, White & Royal Blue which has just been adapted to film by Matthew López for Amazon.We're fans of this fun, flirty read which tackles a few substantive topics in a low-key fashion.The film...isn't working for us unfortunately. Despite stars Taylor Zakhar Perez and Nicholas Galitzine's best efforts, there's no romantic electricity here. Throw in cheap production values and a undercooked queer-revenge villain and the film is sadly undercooked. (And don't get us started on Uma's accent!)Wanna connect with the show?

Pre-order Taylor's book here: https://www.amazon.com/Extremely-Online-Untold-Influence-Internet/dp/1982146869  In this week's episode, we discuss how social media has influenced how pre-teens perform age alongside internet culture expert and columnist for The Washington Post, Taylor Lorenz! (49:45) As tweens, teens, and adults interact on social media platforms together and the digital space becomes increasingly difficult to moderate, tween-specific content seems to have fallen through the cracks. From young girls incorporating anti-aging products in their skin-care routines to sharing revealing pictures of themselves online, the lack of "age-appropriate" content has seemingly led to many young people wanting to appear older than they are. And while this isn't necessarily a new phenomenon, social media has definitely intensified the desire to grow up quickly.  Timestamps: 8:04 Red, White & Royal Blue recap 16:45 Alix Earle & Madeline Argy join Alex Cooper's newly announced ‘Unwell' network 23:40 Jaclyn Hill announces closure of brands, Koze and Jacyln Roxanne 34:51 Kai Cenat says he's “beyond disappointed” after New York City giveaway event turned into a riot 40:19 Viral child influencer Lil Tay confirms she's alive amid death reports 46:11 Bobbi Althoff removes viral Drake interview amid rumoured rift 49:45 How social media destroyed the tween experience (with Taylor Lorenz) Find our podcast YouTube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC18HclY7Tt5-1e3Z-MEP7Jg  Subscribe to our weekly Substack: https://centennialworld.substack.com/  Join our Geneva home: https://links.geneva.com/invite/7eb23525-9259-4d59-95e3-b9edd35861a5  Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/infinitescrollpodcast/  Follow our publication: https://www.instagram.com/centennialworld/  Follow Lauren on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/laurenmeisner_/ Resources: https://www.vulture.com/2019/11/a-serious-conversation-about-the-knight-before-christmas.html https://centennialworld.com/alix-earle-podcast-alex-cooper-unwell-network/ https://centennialworld.com/jaclyn-hill-announces-closure-of-jewelry-leisure-wear-brands-koze-jaclyn-roxanne/ https://centennialworld.com/what-kai-cenats-meet-up-gone-wrong-says-about-creator-organised-events/  https://centennialworld.com/scrolling-tiktok-oppenheimer-movie-theatre-why/  https://centennialworld.com/bobbi-althoff-removes-viral-drake-interview-amid-rumoured-rift/  https://www.curbed.com/2023/08/kai-cenat-giveaway-vlogger-youtuber-rapper.html https://passionfru.it/lil-tay-death-hoax-7688/   https://www.vox.com/culture/2023/8/10/23827421/lil-tay-death-hoax https://centennialworld.com/how-social-media-is-destroying-the-tween-experience/  https://www.healthline.com/health/understanding-tweens-a-transformative-age https://childmind.org/bio/juliann-garey/ https://www.vice.com/en/article/7k875y/teen-magazine-nostalgia-y2k-girls-advice https://www.newyorker.com/culture/cultural-comment/could-the-teen-magazine-rise-again/   https://www.dazeddigital.com/life-culture/article/58382/1/the-death-of-teen-girl-culture-women

Vicky! Classic.

It's a mixed bag on this mid-August episode of Breakfast All Day. We review the horror movie "The Last Voyage of the Demeter," which really should have been called "Vampire Boat." It's in theaters now and it's not good. We also discuss the gay rom-com "Red, White & Royal Blue," based on the best-selling novel. It's streaming on Prime Video and it's very good. In news, we talk about "Wonder Woman 3," the Primetime Emmys moving to January, Robbie Robertson of The Band and more. And over at our Patreon, we recap episodes 3 and 4 of the new season of "Heartstopper" on Netflix. Thanks for being here! Make sure you join us for our LIVE Ask Us Anything!
