Rereading the Revolution

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.

    "Greatest Sequel Ever Written" | Catching Fire

    "Let's fulfill our contractual obligation of getting married." We're continuing our Hunger Games extravaganza with one of the best sequels ever written--Catching Fire (2009). In this episode, Daphne and Kellie address the love triangle (Team Peeta all the way), fan theories, the crazy amount of prequel sideshadowing in this book, and THAT ending.

    "Woke Christmas" | Let It Snow Movie Sneak Peek

    UNLOCK THE FULL EPISODE BY SUBSCRIBING TO OUR PATREON AT PATREON.COM/REREADINGTHEREVOLUTION "They said, 'North Carolina? Eww.'" In this month's bonus episode, we discuss the 2019 Netflix adaptation of Let It Snow, which is very different from the book. The cast list is studded with medium-sized young stars, the jokes are largely misses, and the holiday pageant centerpiece is absolutely not talked about enough. Happy holidays!

    "We Need to Talk About Shrek" | Let It Snow

    "...Just so you know what level of quirky we're operating at." Happy holidays! We're celebrating the season by reading Maureen Johnson, John Green, and Lauren Myracle's 2008 short story collection, Let It Snow: Three Holiday Romances, and trying not to be too grinchy about it. Topics covered span from the Netflix Christmas Universe and Piggy Smalls to an impassioned discussion about a story's gross mischaracterization of Shrek. In addition, we continue spreading the good word of Waffle House and listen to one of the most inspired musical performances of all time.

It's a supersized episode because we're rejoined by special guest and professional yapper Colin! We discuss aliens, hacking the mainframe, Gen Alpha slang, and blond adults, among many, many other topics.
