We're back friends! In this episode, Heather is really in her element covering dance & gymnastics, two sports she has spent years devoted to. We'll be talking about the 2000's coming of age teen comedy Stick It as well as the recent entry novel in a series about dancers in NYC called Tiny Pretty Things - now a Netflix show.

Theres a lot of current events discussed, including the state of gymnastics in America as well as the recent Olympic games in Tokyo. As always we bring some laughs and an analysis segment where we discuss our own opinions and beliefs.

Enjoy!

Welcome back friends! In this episode we honor the importance of Labor Day in America, recapping two stories that really tell the full spectrum of what it means to "put in the work". Whether it be the honest day's work of the Ingalis family, or the toxic over-scheduled life of Peter Parker, everyone has known some degree of pride or burnout. We explore what it means on both sides of the scale and give our honest thoughts on which way is better for us.

Music is in the air! In this episode we present Crossing The Streams Vol III. and we'll be talking about two of our favorite shows, the iconic "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" and the cult favorite Adult Swim original "Metalocalypse". Both of these shows have one thing in common, great original music! Whether or not you're into heavy metal or show tunes, the record sales and live show attendance of both shows speak for itself.

We have a really fun conversation about both shows in our analysis portion and go over some of our favorite made-for-tv bands of all time (Robin Sparkles, The Beets, Spinal Tap, etc)

Let us know what your favorite "fake" band is, or favorite musical TV episode and don't forget to follow us on social media!

Hey friends, welcome to another thought provoking episode of Parallel Fiction. This week we recognize Book Lover's Day with a pair of very different stories about fans of literature. This is a little bit of a heavier episode based on the subject matter, but we end up having a very lively conversation in our analysis portion of what a true fan looks like, how fans interact, and how each person loves literature differently.

Join us as we recap the 90's classic thriller Misery staring Kathy Bates and James Caan, and also the celebrated 2005 novel turned 2013 film The Book Thief.

Enjoy!

Our secret is out! We're expecting our first child come January 2022 and we are over the moon! At the suggestion of one of our close friends & listeners, we're talking about Parenting this week with two stories that have grown up with us since the 90's. Adam Sandler's 1999 hit Big Daddy shows us a lot about growing up in a short period of time, and Sarah Dessen's 1998 novel Someone Like you teaches us what a new baby will bring, and how to (try) and prepare.

We had a lot of fun in this episode, and are candid about our hopes and dreams for our little one to come. Take a listen with us and feel free to shower us in any pro-tips you've come across if you're a parent already!

Enjoy

This week we finally get to show off our brand new Parallel Fiction cover art! Created with the help of the amazingly talented Greyson Art (@graysonart), we're proud update our look moving forward. In honor of the occasion, we decided to shine the spotlight on artists everywhere and to cover two stories that take us through the life and times of big creators.

Showing the trials and tribulations of a struggling artist, Walk The Line takes us through the life of American music icon Johnny Cash. On the other end, Oscar Wilde's novel A Picture of Dorian Gray shows us the dark side art, influencers, and the deeper meanings of beauty and aesthetics. Join us for one of our most fun analysis breakdowns of these two works and talk about our past lives as artists (music and dance).

Enjoy, and let us know what you think of the new look!
