    Jul 29 2024
    ACOFAE Podcast Presents: The Wren in the Holly Library: "Take my brain directions." ACOFAE loves a lot of things: libraries, heists, and New York City being just a few. Imagine Laura Marie and Jessica Marie's surprise to discover this book has all that plus magic plus MONSTERS?! Count ACOFAE in. Three years after a monster war devastated the country, humans and monsters have come to a peace agreement and everyone must obey the law. Kiers though loves stealing a bit too much to obey the law, and when a job that she can't resist is on the line, what wouldn't she do for a little freedom? Set in a world like ours but different, The Wren in the Holly Library blends myths and legends into a tale that spans centuries into the past and future. Monsters. Not. Magic.

    171. The Fifth Element: "Of course it would take a woman to save the Universe."
    Jul 22 2024
    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!

    170. Death Becomes Her: "Wrinkle, wrinkle, little star."
    Jul 15 2024
    ACOFAE Podcast Presents: Death Becomes Her: "Wrinkle, wrinkle, little star." The theme of SummerWeen '24 continues with Jessica Marie's first time experiencing the cultural touchstone Death Becomes Her. A movie that is as much about the quest for eternal youth as it is about frenemies, Goldie Hawn and Meryl Streep are magical. Truly. Bruce Willis (with hair!) is the man that comes between the two friends in this campy delight that features some of the best one liners out there. Join Laura Marie and Jessica Marie as they break down this exquisite classic and determine what they would or wouldn't do for eternal youth. "And now a warning....NOW A WARNING?!"

    169. Hell Bent: "Have we become desensitized? Because that was hot."
    Jul 8 2024
    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.

    168. We Shall be Monsters: "Shocked. I didn't see either one of the twists coming."
    Jul 1 2024
    ACOFAE Podcast Presents: We Shall be Monsters: "Shocked. I didn't see either one of the twists coming." Frankenstein retelling meets Indian mythology? Say. Less. 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? "Yes"es all around from ACOFAE and the main character, Kajal, as we all step into an adventure that keeps you guessing until you are gasping with the reveal. Light and dark, good and bad. It's all about balance.

    167. Jessica's Genre: "You undersold it."
    Jun 24 2024
    ACOFAE Podcast Presents: Jessica's Genre: "You undersold it." Sometimes one birthday a year just doesn't cut it. Sometimes those half birthdays really hit hard. And sometimes on ACOFAE those half birthdays mean a little something new and different. Sometimes. This week is our very own Jessica Marie's half birthday and to celebrate her, ACOFAE is reading a book in one of her other preferred genres: ROMANCE! That's right everyone we are tackling straight up romance in Jessica's episode and it is a delight. Choosing the book perfectly, Jessica Marie and Laura Marie are able to have discussions about the book, but also about the setting and logistics! You know how we love logistics! What follows is a delightful light-hearted conversation that shows the love of fandom. Always meet your idols.

    166. And I Darken: "Souls and thrones are irreconcilable."
    Jun 17 2024
    ACOFAE Podcast Presents: And I Darken: "Souls and thrones are irreconcilable." History huh? What happens to Laura Marie and Jessica Marie when they both go into a book blind and only one of them has a background in the subject matter? What's that thing that happens when you assume again? ACOFAE is diving into And I Darken and come out the other side with a better knowledge about themselves and history. Truly bless wikipedia. Lada is our Female MC and she is one for the ages. Frothing with daddy issues and a love for her country, Lada takes us on a journey of the Ottoman Empire religiously and geographically and even personally through her relationship with Mehmet. Family ties, duty to the empire, duty to religion, and honoring your true self are the order of the day and it takes everything from everyone to follow them.

    165. So Let Them Burn: "Dragons, dragon school, dragon ROBOTS!"
    Jun 10 2024
    ACOFAE Podcast Presents: So Let Them Burn: "Dragons, dragon school, dragon ROBOTS!" In a weird little coincidence, ACOFAE has read a few robot books in a row and they've all been pretty awesome. So imagine the surprise when Laura Marie and Jessica Marie discovered that not only were there dragons in this book, but there are also pilots who operate dragon robots! The joy was intense to say the least. Then throw in sisters, one of which can talk to the gods?! ACOFAE was all in. The war is over and peace reigns supreme. Or does it. The gods allow a girl to continue to use their power with no consequences. Or do they? Old enemies slowly becoming the best of friends? Or do they?! No really, there's all this plus dragon school classes, worldwide politics, and someone sinister underneath it all. Something for everyone!
