| 5/12/26 | ![]() Book: Finding Her Edge (2022) | Brenna and Joe hit the ice with Jennifer Iacopelli's 2022 novel Finding Her Edge.It's the story of an ambitious 16 year old with Olympic dreams, and her gaslighting trash father and dismissive older sister. Oh...and a love triangle.It's fine! The novel is a bit too long & tropey and the romance is the least interesting part, but it's readable and the sports stuff is engaging. Spoiler alert: it's also way better than the show!Wanna connect with the show?

| 2/17/26 | ![]() Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters (2013) | Brenna and Joe return for week two of our discussion on Percy Jackson's second adventure, with a look at the 2013 film Sea of Monsters.Armed with a new director (Diary of a Wimpy Kid's Thor Freudenthal) and a mostly new adult cast, the film makes the odd decision to change a million little elements from the book.Plus: pitch perfect roles for Nathan Fillion and Stanley Tucci; Logan Lerman's snoozy performance as the titular character; too many fleece resurrections; and discussion of the CGI cyclops eyeballWanna connect with the show?

| 2/3/26 | ![]() TV Show: My Lady Jane (2024) | Brenna and Joe close out revisionist history month with a look at the first (and only) season of Prime's My Lady Jane (2024).This New Adult text ages everyone up because it is *horny* (and quite hilarious).Plus: a male voice-over for a female-driven show; a messy metaphor, a reliance on needle drops, and our favourite beautiful gown.Wanna connect with the show?

| 1/27/26 | ![]() Book: My Lady Jane (2016) | Brenna and Joe gallop through Cynthia Hand, Brodi Ashton, Jodi Meadows's My Lady Jane (2016). Our final revisionist text concerns England's nine day queen, Jane Grey, but uses a fantasy metaphor to tackle the real life Prostestant vs Catholic battle.Plus: thoughts on the YA romance; Jane as a modern heroine; and how the three authors' voices blend together.Wanna connect with the show?

| 1/20/26 | ![]() Film: Rosaline (2022) | This week Joe and Brenna find ourselves in uncharted waters. Rosaline (2022) is most definitely NOT an adaptation of When You Were Mine (if anything, it's a contemporary take on Romeo and Juliet, the play).With that bizarre fact aside, Rosaline is extremely enjoyable. A fantastic cast, playful direction, and a screwball screenplay make this a breezy good time. Just don't call it an adaptation! Wanna connect with the show?

| 1/13/26 | ![]() Book: When You Were Mine (2010) | Brenna and Joe's revisionist theme continues with author Rebecca Serle's When You Were Mine (2012).This contemporary version of Romeo and Juliet is from Rose's perspective as she watches her childhood crush, Rob, stolen by her unhinged cousin Juliet. But the propulsive (and highly readable) book has us asking: do we even need the R&J connection?Wanna connect with the show?

| 1/6/26 | ![]() Film: Catherine Called Birdy (2022) | Brenna and Joe turn their attention to writer/director Lena Dunham's 2022 adaptation of Catherine Called Birdy.Starring Bella Ramsey and Andrew Scott, there's some queer subversion embedded in the film. Plus: stunt casting Billie Piper, modernizing a classic (the music!) and a new YA BINGO board for a new year.Correction: Joe should have said David Bradley, *not* Doug Wanna connect with the show?

Jackson, Nic Stone, Angie Thomas, Ashley Woodfolk, and Nicola Yoon, Brenna, Joe and listener Tea, Books & Chocolate are left wondering: why is this so...slight?Plus: great representation, debating distinct voices, comparisons to Love, Actually, and a tease for what's to come in January.
