Rereading the Revolution

"This is like, the least predictable book I’ve ever read in my life."

An instant classic is incoming, because we're tackling Michael Grant's Gone (2008), one of the silliest and strangest books we've ever read. It's too much for one episode, so we broke this one into two mind-boggling parts. Kellie and Daphne discuss Grant's checkered legacy, our listeners' memories of this series, and of course, everything that goes down in the FAYZ. It's one of the most fun times we've ever had while podcasting.

"It’s textbook Rereading the Revolution."

Our listeners have been clamoring for us to read Fallen (Lauren Kate, 2009) since our infamous Hush, Hush episode came out. Daphne and Kellie are joined by special guest Thya Leger to take on more fallen angels posing as high schoolers and bravely ask the question of what's worse--the impending Biblical apocalypse or getting meatloaf in smashed your hair as a vegetarian?

“He really John Greened in this one."

The time has come for another John Green episode, and this time our Patreon subscribers voted for Paper Towns (2008)! This is a book whose cultural significance is based more on the kind of story that it became a symbol of rather than the plot itself. Kellie and Daphne unpack the nuances and accuracy of the "manic pixie dream girl" label for Margo, along with road trips, discussions about metaphors, quirky character traits, and nerds getting kissed by cool girls. I mean, it's first-era John Green. You all know what to expect by now!

CW: This episode contains multiple mentions of suicide.

It's back. It's bigger. It's better. It's bloodier. The game has changed.

Dungeons & Dystopia, our YA book-themed Dungeons & Dragons actual play series has returned! This time, Dungeonmaster Colin is taking us through The Sovereign Trials in a game inspired by the world of The Hunger Games. In this episode, you'll meet the tributes and follow them through the high-stakes process of preparing for the Trials. Will our players band together or become instant enemies? How will they perform in their skills evaluations? And are they ready to do what it takes to survive?

New episodes will drop on the third Wednesday of each month. We hope you enjoy it!

"If you're going to destroy my book, at least put Meryl Streep in it."

It was another very close poll for our movie bonus episode this month, but the 2014 cinematic classic The Giver took the crown. It also took 97 minutes of our lives that we can never get back.

Kellie and Daphne discuss the film's failure to launch, bizarre choices in adaptation, the confusing creative choices made to fit this into the 2010s YA dystopian film boom, the stock footage, and of course, the Taylor Swift of it all.
