  • Summary

  • Whether it was a reaction to the politics of the time or the rapidly approaching end date of the Mayan calendar, the pop-cultural landscape of the early 2010s can be best remembered for one thing: dystopian literature. Join plucky young heroines and podcast hosts Daphne and Kellie as they dive into all of your favorite young adult novels and series from this era as we reread the revolution. We lived through it once and are back to recap, review, and discuss all the best and worst that the world-shifting genre of YA fiction has to offer–the sci-fi, the fantasy, and the supernatural–at least until our society crumbles and we have to survive a brave new world.

    “Debbies All the Way Down” | Turtles All the Way Down (Special Episode!)
    May 10 2024

    We deviate from our usual book recaps to discuss something very special: John Green's Turtles All the Way Down (2017) and the movie adaptation that FINALLY came out this month on Max. Heads up, his one's a little loose and goofy. Several rants occur, we unleash our wrath on Goodreads, and a friendship is tested.

    "50-60 teenage boys? That's the scariest thing I can imagine."


    Kellie, Daphne, and special guest Colin take on the shuckin' Maze, and spoiler alert: there's running (but maybe less than you'd think?). We share our formative experiences with the book as children, and talk all things The Maze Runner (2009), James Dashner, Newtmas, and a whole bunch of other klunk.

    "Major Problems" | Allegiant

    "And at this point, I almost screamed."


    Kellie and Daphne go back to Chicago one last time to learn what's beyond the fence in Allegiant (2013)--and it's a lot to take in. We get into the extreme pivots that this finale makes, discuss that controversial ending, and try to understand what it was all for. Plus, a priceless ($5) gift is given.
