    184. The Love Hypothesis: "Let me have this."

    ACOFAE Podcast Presents: The Love Hypothesis: "Let me have this." Surprise! It's a romance in the middle of November on ACOFAE! Are you surprised? Jessica Marie sure was when Laura Marie pitched this book to her. Keeping with the theme of finding a bit of joy, ACOFAE is covering The Love Hypothesis for reasons. One of which being, Laura Marie loves Adam Driver. ACOFAE loves fan fiction and when those two are put together and then reworked and published, you have ACOFAE'S attention. There are other reasons discussed, that include meeting Adam Driver, worry not. Olive is a potential grad student when she meets (but doesn't meet) the man that inspires her to continue her journey in Science. Dr. Carlsen fell first and ACOFAE loves that. An academic romance that's serious when it needs to be, The Love Hypothesis made Laura Marie kick her feet and giggle - love that for her. He's built like a refrigerator.

    183. Shatter Me: Defy, Imagine, and Believe Me: "Justice for Aaron Warner."

    ACOFAE Podcast Presents: Shatter Me: Defy, Imagine, and Believe Me: "Justice for Aaron Warner." No one can say that ACOFAE doesn't finish what they start (?), because Laura Marie and Jessica Marie are at the end of the Shatter Me series by Tahereh Mafi and thoughts aew abound. Aaron is stressed, Kenji is being stressful, and the world is ending. Rescue missions, the dead returning, test tubes, and photographs are all key plot points that result in a miscommunication trope that almost takes out Laura Marie. Join ACOFAE as they reflect and discuss on loving and defending ANOTHER blond man. Never say never. CW/TW: death of a sibling, torture For additional TW/CW information for your future reads, head to this site for more: https://triggerwarningdatabase.com/ Spoilers: The entire Shatter Me series by Tahereh Mafi and and (loose) spoiler of The Wren in the Holly Library by KA Linde.

    182. Idiocracy: "It's got what plants crave!"

    ACOFAE Podcast Presents: Idiocracy: "It's got what plants crave!" Continuing the theme of October time travel, ACOFAE jumps into the future with the satirical classic "Idiocracy." 500 years into the future and society has kind of fallen apart. Plants aren't growing, healthcare is somehow worse than it is currently, and it's up to Joe and Rita to solve the problems for everyone. Once the most average people of their time and now the smartest on the planet, Joe and Rita have one week to turn things around or else..Filled with sight gags and astronomical performances, "Idiocracy" might seem a bit too on the nose now but when it came out this was comedy. We promise. "The thirst mutilator." TW / CW: political satire For additional TW/CW information for your future reads, head to this site for more: https://triggerwarningdatabase.com/ Spoilers: Idiocracy Mentions: The Ugly Truth, King of the Hill, Twilight, Project Hail Mary, Jackass, Wolverine, Oppenheimer _WEBSITES: _ https://www.buzzfeed.com/bendzialdowski/box-office-flops-gd https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/arianelange/donald-trump-idiocracy-coming-true-screenwriter-says https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/85160/10-smart-facts-about-idiocracy https://screenrant.com/idiocracy-weird-facts/ *Thank you for listening to us!

    181. Donnie Darko: "Have you ever seen a portal?"

    ACOFAE Podcast Presents: Donnie Darko: "Have you ever seen a portal?" Being a teenager is hard enough. Throw in a 6ft tall bunny rabbit and the world ending...and being a teenager is very hard. Add in time travel, portals, and god?! and you've got some problems to deal with. Donnie is going through a lot. When a jet engine falls through his room things really kick off into left field when the bunny begins to talk and Patrick Swayze beings to teach. Drew Barrymore and Noah Wyle join a delightful cast that only glitters more with Sparkle Motion and intense English class chaos. Laura Marie and Jessica Marie dive into Donnie Darko The Director's Cut and have the conversation of how much story is too much. "Quiet. Let her choose." TW / CW: bullying, child predators, sexual assault, domestic abuse For additional TW/CW information for your future reads, head to this site for more: https://triggerwarningdatabase.com/ Spoilers: Donnie Darko Mentions: Wizard of Oz, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Drive Me Crazy, Battlestar Galactica, New Moon, Megopolis, The Virgin Suicides _WEBSITES: _ http://www.donniedarko.org.uk/trivia/#:~:text=The%20movie%20was%20shot%20in,on%20a%20red%2Deye%20flight https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0246578/trivia/?ref_=tt_dyk_trv https://screenrant.com/donnie-darkos-20th-anniversary-facts/ https://screenrant.com/donnie-darko-timeline-ending-meaning-explained/#:~:text=The%20movie's%20meaning%20involves%20Donnie,role%20as%20a%20Messiah%2Dfigure. *Thank you for listening to us!

    180. Long Live Evil: "Who wouldn't take that deal?!"

    ACOFAE Podcast Presents: Long Live Evil: "Who wouldn't take that deal?!" Have you ever wanted to pop into the world of your favorite book? Of course you have, we ALL have! It's the deal that's almost impossible to refuse, especially if your circumstances aren't great. Especially if you're ill. Rae is ill, and with time running out is given the deal of a life time: go into your favorite story, find a flower, and be healed. Except that details weren't hammered out and Rae goes into the story as the villain whose set to be excavated int he morning! Long Live Evil is a wild ride filled with foreshadowing and world building that gets easier the second time around. Key characters and plot points may or may not be static and trying to help the story along just might make it worse. But no matter what happens, Be Evil.
