    Black Christmas (1974)

    It's not a prank, fam. It's the 2023 annual Christmas Special of AYTP! Every holiday season we gather to talk about a movie (not a book) with a special guest. This time it was our friend Adam, of "Don't Tell Mom The Baby-Sitter's Dead" episode fame. This one was a spooky, cozy Christmas slasher (the first ever?) about coeds being tormented by an obscene phone caller! Would have made a great YA book. From our fam to yours--we hope this made your Christmas wishes come true.   -Jess, Josh, & Blake (& Adam)

    UNLOCKED: Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead

    Surprise! Sorry about the delay, horse girls. Here's an episode from behind our paywall to tide you over. In these Patreon bonus episodes, we talk about teen movies! Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead is a classic and one of Jessica's favorites. In this one, we're also joined by our good pal Adam from Shelf Life and Scrambled Transmissions. Wanna support us?

    56. Little Girl Lost (w/ Katie Lilly)

    It's auto-bio time again, fam. But unlike with Alice and Jay, this seems to be based on actual events. Little Girl Lost was written by a 14 (!) year old Drew Barrymore (with Todd Gold). From a shockingly young age, she got up to some STUFF. Beloved special guest host Katie Lilly (aka the haunted outfit) fills in for Josh, and offers great insight into Drew's party era, as well as her current role as TikTok Mom! Wanna support us?

    55. Credit-Card Carole

    The YA book: Credit-Card Carole by Sheila Solomon Klass The target: global capitalism We take it all down on this episode, fam. Wave goodbye to your misogynist credit score! You won't need legal tender in the Mad Max world we're about to enter--just a pair of earbuds and a podcast. --- Wanna support us?

    54. Girl

    It's our shortest title ever, fam. This one is special because we both read the book AND watched the movie (Blake just watched the movie)! Girl by Blake Nelson is a coming-of-age tale that brings out the grunge scenester still living in all of us. But we're definitely NOT groupies, despite what the film version might tell you. Or are we? Honestly I don't know, they just make me write these show notes. Here's a spoiler though since it happens so seldom: Josh n' Jess like this book!! Wanna support us? Go to patreon.com/areyoutherepod for bonus episodes and exclusive AYTP merch!

    53. Summergreen (w/ Harvey Day of Hoot 'n' Holler)

    Jess invites fellow Mormon Harvey Day to discuss Summergreen by Janet Cox, and the results are riveting! This one's chock full of childhood memories of the LDS Church, with its eccentric quirks and rituals. Josh and Blake--good Protestant boys--listen aghast. With all the stories, will there be time to talk about this Mormon-flavored light YA romance book? Listen and find out! Harvey also does an excellent podcast about Ozarks happenings (and global politics) called Hoot 'n' Holler.   Wanna support us?
