    Cubbie Chats: Carrie, Sense and Sensibility & Whale Fall — This Weekend’s Must-Watch Movies!

    I may be sick, congested, and wrapped in a blanket, but that isn't stopping me from talking about the movies and TV shows you need on your radar! This week on Cubbie Chats, we're diving into Mike Flanagan's new adaptation of Stephen King's Carrie, exploring its modern twists, unforgettable characters, and the potential beginnings of a Stephen King multiverse. Then, I'm sharing my thoughts on Sense and Sensibility after finally reading Jane Austen's beloved novel, including the changes that made it to the screen and why Marianne Dashwood's perspective on love still resonates today. Plus, we're venturing into the terrifying depths of Whale Fall, a survival thriller that transforms claustrophobic ocean horrors into a surprisingly moving meditation on grief, family, and healing. And don't miss my thoughts on Street Fighter, this weekend's box office winner, along with the upcoming releases I'm excited to watch, including Wicker, Clayface, Wildwood, and Clara and the Sun. From horror and heartfelt literary adaptations to video game nostalgia and the latest box office news, we're covering it all! 🎙️ Join the conversation! What have you watched this week, and what are you most excited to see next?

    Cubbie Reads: Jane Austen, the Baddie, and Author Sally Rooney Banned in the UK?!

    What do pumpkins, book bans, witchcraft, and Jane Austen have in common? More than you might think! This week on Cubbie Chats, we're talking about rediscovering our whimsy, embracing our differences, and the controversy surrounding Sally Rooney's books being pulled from UK bookshelves over her support for Palestine Action. Is it a book ban? Let's discuss! Plus, I'm reviewing Alice Hoffman's Practical Magic and sharing my potentially controversial take on why the movie is better than the book. Then we're diving into Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility, exploring romance, sisterhood, feminism, and why Jane Austen is officially that girl. Jane Austen, the baddie you are! 📚 Join the conversation! Does the Sally Rooney situation count as a book ban? Is Practical Magic better as a book or a movie? And which Jane Austen novel should I read next? Let me know! 🌐 Visit cubbiechats.com for more film reviews, book reviews, articles, and pop culture conversations. 🎙️ Follow @cubbiechats for more podcast episodes, literary discussions, film talk, and all things pop culture.

    Cubbie Reads: Texas Is #1 in Book Bans + 3 Great Reads for Your TBR

    Texas is banning thousands of books, and now AI is helping decide which ones get removed. In this episode of Cubbie Reads, Cubbie dives into the growing book-ban crisis in Texas, the use of AI to evaluate books under Texas legislation, and why literary censorship is becoming such an urgent issue. Then we switch gears and talk books! Cubbie reviews three wildly different reads: The Art Thief by Michael Finkel, Rookie by Joshua Bassett, and The Unknown by Riley Sager — from an unbelievable true-crime art heist to Hollywood, addiction, faith, and one of the twistiest thrillers Cubbie has read yet. Which book should you add to your TBR? Listen, let Cubbie know what you're reading, and join the conversation.

    Cubbie Chats: Lanterns Is Finally Getting GOOD, AHS Is Testing Me & Verity Surprised Me

    Cubbie is back with another film and TV episode! We’re talking Lanterns as the DC series finally starts picking up steam, John’s complicated path toward becoming Green Lantern, Hal Jordan’s increasingly difficult-to-love personality, and what could be coming next. Then we head back to American Horror Story: Season 13, where the story is finally starting to come together—but only after a LOT of slow episodes, questionable choices, and fan service. Plus, Cubbie reviews Veritystarring Anne Hathaway, Dakota Johnson, and Josh Hartnett and explains why going into the movie without reading the book may have actually worked in his favor. Plus: the return of the Coven witches, Evan Peters in the rubber suit, Alex Cooper and Sean Evans showing up in Verity, the return of physical media, and what Cubbie is watching and reading next!

    Cubbie Reads: My 5-Star Book of the Year?!, Queer History, and a Wild Art Heist

    September may have been a slow reading month, but the books I picked up were anything but ordinary! This week on Cubbie Reads, I'm talking about three books I finished and one nonfiction read that has me completely fascinated. We’re diving into Last Night at the Telegraph Club by Malinda Lo, a beautiful coming-of-age story exploring queer identity, community, and what it meant to be an Asian American lesbian in 1950s San Francisco. We’re also talking about grief and healing in Dustin Thao’s You’ve Reached Sam, before getting into the unbelievable true story behind Michael Finkel’s The Art Thief. But the star of the show? Josh Silver’s Fruit Fly, my potential book of the year and an absolutely twisty story about two deeply flawed writers, exploitation, obsession, and the stories we tell about other people. Plus, we have a few opening rants, some reading updates, and plenty of reasons to add more books to your TBR. Have you read any of these? Let’s talk about it! 📚 Follow me on Substack and @cubbiechats on social media, leave a five-star rating, and tell me what you're reading!

    Cubbie Chats: Brad Pitt, Heroes & WTF Is Happening in American Horror Story?!

    This week on Cubbie Chats, we're talking Brad Pitt's Heart of the Beast,  a film I wanted to love but ultimately found pretty average and, more importantly, the real star of the movie: Odin the combat dog. We break down the film's pacing, action, suspense, CGI bears, and why watching Odin go through hell may have been the hardest part for this dog lover. Then, we're going back to Heroes as I rewatch one of my favorite television shows following Hayden Panettiere's death. From Claire Bennett and Peter Petrelli to Sylar, Hiro Nakamura, and the Battle of New York, we're revisiting why this series was so magical and why some of these characters still resonate years later. And finally, we're diving into American Horror Story Season 13 — and honestly, I'm LOST. With characters from across the series returning, the witches coming back, and more mysteries piling up, I'm trying to figure out exactly what Ryan Murphy has planned. Three shows, three very different conversations, and plenty of theories. What are you watching?

    Cubbie Chats… Practical Magic 2, The Best 90s Witch Movies & Runner + The Weight Movie Reviews

    Practical Magic 2 has arrived, and Cubbie has plenty to say about Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman’s return, the new generation of Owens witches, and why this might be the best sequel of the year. Then we dive into some of the best witchy movies to revisit for spooky season, from Hocus Pocus and Halloweentown to The Craft and The Skeleton Key. Plus, Cubbie reviews Ethan Hawke’s The Weight and Alan Ritchson’s Runner, talks action stars, movie expectations, and why we need to stop judging films before we’ve even seen them. What are you watching this spooky season? And what movies should Cubbie add to the witchy watchlist?

    Cubbie Reads: Audiobooks Don’t Count as Reading?! + My One-Sided Beef With an Author

    Do audiobooks actually count as reading? Apparently, more people than you’d think say no—and Cubbie is diving headfirst into the debate. This week on Cubbie Reads, we're talking about the science behind audiobooks, why they might be just as beneficial as reading a physical book, and why Cubbie is realizing his personal bias against them might be getting in the way. Plus, he shares his struggles with a highly regarded author he refuses to name (because what if they want to come on the podcast someday?), and gives an early reaction to Josh Silver's wildly addictive new novel, Fruit Fly. So, what do you think: does listening to an audiobook count as reading? Drop your thoughts in the comments, leave Cubbie Chats a five-star review, and let us know what you're reading!
