ACFOAE Podcast Presents: Marie Antionette: "The revolution can be girly pop." ACOFAE says "Happy Birthday!" to it's very own Laura Marie and her choice for an episode this year was the film, Marie Antionette. A movie that Jessica Marie has never seen and one that Laura Marie had to learn how to love. Marie Antionette is a girly pop take on the life and death of Marie Antionette. No violence here, just cake, pastels, shoes, hair, dogs, and gossip. Oh and a husband who likes to hunt more than spend time with his wife. Oh and the country is starving and about to revolt. Just that. Join Laura Marie and Jessica Marie as they take in the spectable of Kirsten as Queen and reflect on history and how girls just cannot like anything. "Let them eat cake?

ACOFAE Podcast Presents: Series Fatigue: The Dryad Storm by Laurie Forest Being excited about a new release can be scary. Being excited about a new release that is ALSO the conclusion to the series is another level of excited/scary. When that new release that is also the conclusion of the series then turns out to be a DNF for BOTH Laura Marie and Jessica Marie, then the question becomes? Was it them? or Is it really that bad? The Black Witch Chronicles comes to an end with The Dryad Storm, the book that was such a DNF that is sparked a question about fatigue and the willingness to journey through the slog. How much is the reader's time worth? When do you take ownership of your reading and acknowledge that you are not having fun? What other series suffer from series fatigue? If any? All that and more is discussed as ACOFAE Laura and ACOFAE Jessica pinpoint where the series lost them and why. "Anything for the pod, but not this."

We're back for our final episode covering the original THE HUNGER GAMES trilogy with Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins, as well as the 2014 and 2015 films directed by Francis Lawrence! What a journey! What a time! We talk about the bleak realities of war, trauma and PTSD, the continuing failures of humanity, love triangles (just to mix it up), and more trauma. Is this book a rousing good time? No. Is it exactly as bleak as it should be? Yes. REMINDER: We are in full spoiler-mode for this series, so if you haven't read the books and/or watched the movies and if you don't want to hear us speculate about the forthcoming SUNRISE ON THE REAPING, save this one for another time.

ACOFAE Podcast Presents: True Blood: "Bill, I've got the ick." Vampires can be so many things: sparkly, fast, blood thirsty, gorgeous. They can also be Confederate and Southern, which is what is going on here in ACOFAE's True Blood rewatch Season 1 episodes 1 and 2. Sookie is just ordinary girl with an extraordinary ability until Vampire Bill walks into her seating section and changes her life. Throwing it all the way back to 2008, True Blood was a moment, is a moment, and will be a moment in time - the themes are just as relevant now as they were then, as ACOFAE watches Sookie put men in their place left and right; sheriff, coroner, brother, boss. It does not matter. The "I'm just a waitress" Stackhouse is fearless in the pursuit of her piece of calm in the noise and Vampire Bill is just that and more. The accents are thick, the teeth are real, and the messages are important as Laura Marie and Jessica Marie lament that they do not make TV like they used to.

ACOFAE Podcast Presents: Want curated by Gillian Anderson: "Fantasy is freedom." Kicking off International Woman's Month with Gillian Anderson seems fitting. A woman that has touched the lives of so many different people in different ways, a champion for STEM and the skeptic-turned-believer, Gillian, is more involved in our everyday lives than we knew! "Want" is a collection of stories that have been curated and catalogued by Gillian and presented to us the reader in a way that challenges and excites. "Want" is about want. "Want" is about pleasure. Freedom. Expression. Power. Women are powerful when they want, and that power can scare and intimidate so that another emotion is put in place of the power being felt: Shame. There's no room for shame here. Join Laura Marie and Jessica Marie as they reflect on their Gillian experiences, the world today, and why women are so incredible. We listen and we don't judge.

ACOFAE Podcast Presents: Onyx Storm: "Why, Rebecca? WHY!?" If you've been a listener for a while, then you are well aware that ACOFAE and the Empyrean Series have not always gotten along. There's been discussions about being bratty, snobby, and enjoying things just for what they are -- vibes. So in light of all this history, Laura Marie and Jessica Marie have called in some backup to discuss book 3 of The Empyrean Series Onyx Storm. ACOFAE welcomes Aris to the pod to help frame discussions to put them firmly in the realm of THEORIES. Yes, that's correct. ACOFAE is discussing guesses and theories as well as the plot and all it's details as Laura Marie, Jessica Marie, and friend of show Aris get into it. That's tea.

ACOFAE Podcast Presents: Faebound: "When someone offers you a throne, TAKE IT!" Sometimes all it takes is a good twist to make the reader sit up straight and pay attention.

ACOFAEPodcast Presents: Spark of the Everflame by Penn Cole: "Denial with a capital D." The wonderful thing about fantasy is that it's an escape. Sometimes an escape from reality is so needed that Laura Marie and Jessica Marie change up the recording schedule to accommodate Spark of the Everflame. Diem is and isn't like other girls and her world is one of division, gods, and magic. When the old king dies, Diem is thrust into a world of rebels and violence that has her questioning her loyalties to herself, her best friend/lover, and her family. Good stuff.

Be it different genres, subgenres, or formats...altogether 2025 is the year ACOFAE leaves no stone unturned in the search for joy. So that should explain why Laura Marie and Jessica Marie find themselves in a crime procedural. No really, CRIME! Think 1920's crime noir with gnomes. And werewolves. Maybe some shapeshifters. Throw in a little magic and add a magical institute with fae objects and you've got a story; add in murder and you've got The Wizard's Brew. Potion making is the name of the game for a poor chap who just wants to do right by his wife, until MURDER.

ACOFAE Podcast Presents: Catching Fire: "Eyes bright, chins up, smiles ON." Ending the year with some "welcome to the revolution" vibes, Laura Marie and Jessica Marie are rewatching Catching Fire (movie two) in the The Hunger Games series (books by Suzanne Collins.) Nothing says the "end of the holidays" like a slog through the country to visit people that don't really like you, all to be roped back into the same thing you said you'd never do again. We laugh so we don't cry. Katniss and Peeta are traveling here and there and eventually back to The Capital for murderous shenanigans that include getting back in the arena again because Snow said so. Shattering the dome of expectation (ha), Katniss finds herself as the figurehead of a revolution that may or may not be more far along than she knows. Just die. TW / CW: none to our awareness.

ACOFAE Podcast Presents: Pop Culture Poetry 002: The Tortured Poets Department. ACOFAE continues the journey through Pop Culture Poetry with Taylor Swift's The Tortured Poets Department. Laura Marie and Jessica Marie are looking at lyrics, reminiscing about concerts, and pointing out songs and little parts of songs that ended up meaning the world to them, some surprising and some not. Knowing that not everyone is a Taylor fan, exploring her work through the lyrics allowed ACOFAE to reflect on and feel the big feelings in a new and different way. ACOFAE isn't like other TS fans, they're different: faves (not counting TTPD) include Reputation, Midnights, and 1989. So different. So unique. It's ok to be a little basic.

ACOFAE Podcast Presents: The Love Hypothesis: "Let me have this." Surprise! It's a romance in the middle of November on ACOFAE! Are you surprised? Jessica Marie sure was when Laura Marie pitched this book to her. Keeping with the theme of finding a bit of joy, ACOFAE is covering The Love Hypothesis for reasons. One of which being, Laura Marie loves Adam Driver. ACOFAE loves fan fiction and when those two are put together and then reworked and published, you have ACOFAE'S attention. There are other reasons discussed, that include meeting Adam Driver, worry not. Olive is a potential grad student when she meets (but doesn't meet) the man that inspires her to continue her journey in Science. Dr. Carlsen fell first and ACOFAE loves that. An academic romance that's serious when it needs to be, The Love Hypothesis made Laura Marie kick her feet and giggle - love that for her. He's built like a refrigerator.

Once the most average people of their time and now the smartest on the planet, Joe and Rita have one week to turn things around or else..Filled with sight gags and astronomical performances, "Idiocracy" might seem a bit too on the nose now but when it came out this was comedy.

ACOFAE Podcast Presents: Laura's Genre: Nefertiti: "History can be so f*cking cool!" It's Laura Maries half birthday! If you've been with ACOFAE for a while then you know that Laura Marie's OG favorite genre is Historical Fiction and that her childhood hyper-fixation was ancient Egypt. So it shouldn't surprise anyone that Nefertiti is her choice this year! Set in 1351 BCE, before the Prince of Egypt and "river ohhh river", there was Nefertiti at 15 becoming Chief Wife to the Crown Prince of the richest and most powerful nation in the world. You might think that would be enough, but its never enough for Akhenaten, who has plans and dreams of his own that extend far beyond Thebes and Memphis. Nefertiti is the story of a young woman, her sister, her family, and the control it takes to run a nation, from behind the back of it's Pharaoh. Sometimes real life is stranger than fiction.

ACOFAE Podcast Presents: The Handmaid's Tale: As the United States ramps up Election season, ACOFAE reflects on the past - to 1985 specifically with Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale. As ACOFAE's first speculative fiction novel, Laura Marie and Jessica Marie discuss the genre, the message, and the ending of this book that left Laura Marie speechless when she first read it. Conversations abound about the issue that arises when the visual media overtakes the source material and what happens when fandom conversations superimpose themselves on the actual content. The Handmaid's Tale is not an easy read but it is an important one that ends with notes of change and reflection, if not joy. If we don't study the past we will repeat it. Right? RIGHT?! Laura Marie's audio is a bit wonky, Sam is annoyed about it WEBSITES: https://lithub.com/margaret-atwood-on-how-she-came-to-write-the-handmaids-tale/ https://www.litcharts.com/lit/the-handmaid-s-tale https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-42q_VkuGPY https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2023/03/margaret-atwood-dishes-on-new-story-collection-trials-of-censorship/ https://www.penguin.co.uk/articles/2019/09/margaret-atwood-handmaids-tale-testaments-real-life-inspiration https://www.rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv-movie-features/margaret-atwood-interview-season-4-handmaids-tale-1171567/ https://www.businessinsider.com/handmaids-tale-based-on-real-world-origins-history-events-2019-8 https://www.cbc.ca/radio/q/blog/the-handmaid-s-tale-10-intriguing-facts-about-margaret-atwood-s-dystopian-novel-1.4086298 https://www.stylist.co.uk/books/handmaids-tale-true-story/130001 TW / CW: Sexual assault, suicide, patriarchy For additional TW/CW information for your future reads, head to this site for more: https://triggerwarningdatabase.com/ Spoilers: The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood, slight spoilers from the ACOTAR series, including ACOSF (A Court of Silver Flames) Mentions: Game of Thrones, The Boys, ACOTAR, House of the Dragon, Serpent and Dove *Thank you for listening to us!

Cher and Dionne, the popular of the popular, take new arrival Tai under their wing and things take a turn when friend turn frenemy.

“I see my job as trying to soothe the trauma that teenagers don't know they have yet because everybody's so busy telling them that they don't.” - A.S. KingThe older we get, the more we understand that life is impossible to actually understand. Things are not often straightforward, and the more we do discover, the more we realize there is to discover. But when we read, we want to relate, to see the words on a page and have them reflect the world back at us in a way that makes it feel more digestible. A.S. (Amy Sarig) King has found that the only way to really do that is to make the mirror as absurd as the real thing. In today's American political realm, the word weird is taking on a new layer of meaning. But for Amy, weirdness has always been a lifeline. For her and her characters. She draws on weirdness and absurdity to tap deeper into the trauma her characters face. From anger to misplaced guilt, sadness to grief, and a general sense of overwhelming anxiety, teens have so much to process. And nothing peeves Amy like adults' dismissal of these experiences, of this trauma, for teens. She is passionate about challenging that norm, validating teens, and offering a surreal mirror to help them understand the world as it truly is: weird.A.S. King is a prolific, unique writer best known for "Dig," "Ask the Passengers," "Please Ignore Vera Dietz," and "The Collectors." She has received the Los Angeles Times Book Prize, the Edgar Award, and the Printz Honor—twice. Her work often combines surrealism with raw emotional depth, offering a fresh perspective on the human experience.In this episode, she critiques pointless teen shaming by adults, discusses why surrealism resonates with young readers, and shares her advocacy for LGBTQ+ youth through Gracie's House, a nonprofit named after her late daughter. She also reveals how her cheese tattoo led to an insight into humaneness.***Connect with Jordan and The Reading Culture @thereadingculturepod and subscribe to our newsletter at thereadingculturepod.com/newsletter. ***Keeping it on brand and consistent, Amy offers us a truly unique reading challenge with a bizarrely loveable title.

ACOFAE Podcast Presents: Bring It On: "Meat Ranch High School". Here's an ACOFAE lore drop for you: Laura Marie ate, slept, and breathed CHEER when she was younger. No exaggeration. Laura Marie spent many summers at Cheer Camps in Florida experiencing the joy of humidity. When Bring It On came out on theaters Laura Marie was sat with her teammates, watching the thing that was LIFE being shown on screen, mostly accurately. It was very special. Fast forward to today, and the nostalgia is as high as the temperature as Laura Marie and Jessica Marie jump head first into this cheer classic that has both aged well and not well at all. Torrance is the new captain of her cheer squad and drama is a foot. Stolen routines and Nationals coming up mean that it's crunch time to figure out if the Torros have what it takes to be original and rise to the occasion or bow out and quit. New (old) rivals, The Clovers, mean business as both squads face off on the biggest stage in Cheer. "I know you don't think a white girl made that shi* up."

ACOFAE Podcast Presents: The Fifth Element: "Of course it would take a woman to save the Universe." It's apparently also the summer of Bruce Willis on ACOFAE as they, plus a special guest, dive into the science fiction cult classic The Fifth Element. A 90's joyride that stands out from the pack thanks to stand out performances by Chris Tucker, Gary Oldman, and the color orange. So much orange. Action queen Milla Jovovich steals the show as Lelu in the iconic role that has become a staple on the convention scene and in our hearts for years. Practical special effects, a celebrity costume designer, and behind the scenes drama make this campy classic set in futuristic New York feel almost timeless. Bzzzzzzzzzzz!

ACOFAE Podcast Presents: Hell Bent: "Have we become desensitized? Because that was hot." Sometimes during the hottest days of Summer it can feel like you are in hell. The heat, the humidity, the demons of your past misdeeds coming to haunt you, it can all seem like too much. Bring on SummerWeen! Let's go back to school, back to Yale specifically, and back to cool weather and even cooler plot lines. There are A LOT of plot lines in this book. Hell Bent, the book with the white rabbit on the cover, was a delight for one of the hosts and a bit more difficult for another which makes it a lot of fun for both. Darlington is a demon, Alex is on a mission, and Trip is along for the ride. Who doesn't love solving puzzles and running from vampires? School can be hell in the Summer.

Surprising no one Laura Marie and Jessica Marie dove in head first to this delicious reimagining of a tale we know very well and one that we probably don't. You would do anything to get your sister back wouldn't you? Would you raise the dead? Would you ally with rebels? Would you know your true self?
