Immediate yes. Christian Slater? Screaming, crying, throwing up.

September 26, 2022 086. Fearless (books 1-2): Middle school me wanted to be her.
ACOFAE Podcast presents: Fearless (books 1-2): Middle school me wanted to be her.
It's Autumn in New York City. You're the new girl at another new school in a new living situation. You might be nervous. You might even be a little afraid. Not Gaia! Gaia is a lot of things. She's abrasive, dismissive, smart, and aloof. She's also born without a certain gene. A fear gene. Gaia cannot feel fear. That's right. Gaia is Fearless. And it doesn't make anything about her life easy. Her dad? Out of the picture. Her mom too. Just foster care and new schools until Gaia is 18. Oh, and there's a boy. A cute chess playing boy who hangs out in the park who might be along for the ride too. If she can live that long.

ACOFAE Podcast presents: Kingdom of the Wicked: Bargains, cooking, chalk, and pockets.
Italy is a magical place. Come and walk down the road to the restaurant where you can smell the sea breeze and the scent of garlic on the air. Come inside and see the family work together harmoniously as they weave the magic of the kitchen for everyone to enjoy. Follow one sister as she finds trouble, follow another sister as she finds more trouble than she could have ever imagined. Italian witches, hell, and demon princes run around on an Italian island trying to solve a crime. Oh, and there's a magical bargain. Oh, and the witch and demon are mortal enemies. Oh, and we're reminded of that fact a lot. It's Kingdom of the Wicked where the tattoos are purple and pockets are filled with chalk. Pockets for the win!

Throw in a little forced proximity, some enemies to lovers, and add in a bit of found family and you have the perfect recipe for a debut novel. Women supporting women.

August 29, 2022 083. Chicago: The Movie - "We couldn't have done this without you, truly!".
ACOFAE Podcast presents: Chicago: The Movie - "We couldn't have done this without you, truly!".
"I don't believe in the glorification of murder. I do believe in the empowerment of women."- Lady Gaga
Welcome to Chicago. Where the music is as hot as the crime and the crime can make you famous. Enter Roxy Hart and Velma Kelly. Both are accused of a crime they absolutely did commit, both are desperate to keep their names in the newspapers, and both think that they don't need the other. Beautiful musical numbers that showcase the talented cast shine here, but the star of the show is "The Cellblock Tango." Laura Marie wishes she could sing and Jessica Marie wishes she could dance alongside the ladies of Murderess Row as they deliver the most memorable number of the movie.
Pop. Six. Squish. Uh Uh. Cicero. Lipschitz.
They had it coming.

August 22, 2022 SPECIAL EPISODE 006: Our new friend, Deanna Ortega!
ACOFAE Podcast presents: Our new friend, Deanna Ortega!
ACOFAE welcomes author, Tiktok star, and our new friend, Deanna Ortega, to the podcast! Deanna is the bestselling author of The Cursed Kingdoms series with book 1 Ruin and Roses out now and book 2 Shadows and Lies out August 31st, 2022. In an attempt to keep this episode spoiler free Laura Marie, Jessica Marie, and Deanna make a valiant attempt to keep the details to a minimum but, it's hard when the characters are so wonderful and the spice is deliciously spicy. The conversation also dives into publishing challenges, the role of social media, and the pressure that come with being perceived. It's a bit chaotic but that's why it's fun. Women supporting women. Jessica Marie was VERY SICK during this
UPDATE: [April 21, 2023] At the time of this recording, author went by "she/her" pronouns and now goes by she/they.

August 15, 2022 082. Jawbreaker: "You mean The Meow?"
ACOFAE Podcast presents: Jawbreaker: "You mean The Meow?"
If watching Jawbreaker to prepare for the back to school rush is wrong, then ACOFAE doesn't want to be right. Welcome back to high school. Where the popular girls slow-motion walk in the hallways, wear fishnets and heels every day, and generally dismiss all the rules of school and create their own. And we love them for it.
Enter Courtney, Liz, Julie, and Marcie. Exit Liz. Enter camp. Enter drama. Enter comedy. Enter a cult classic. Criminally underrated, Jawbreaker takes us on a wild romp through the most candy-colored lens possible showing us that sometimes, all you need is a little bit of confidence and a 90's hacker boyfriend with long hair to save the day.
TW / CW: bullying, homophobia, sexual assault

August 08, 2022 081. All of Us Villains: Speaking of the finger...
ACOFAE Podcast presents: All of Us Villains: Speaking of the finger...
The official tagline for this book is "Blood before all." The unofficial tagline for this book is "The Hunger Games with magic" and that is more apt to what is going on here. Welcome to Ivernath, a small unremarkable town where every 20 years, seven families choose a champion and there is a death tournament. The winner’s family gets to control high magic. And everyone wants high magic. Or at least, that's how it's always been done before. Cue the generational curse breaking now! Laura Marie and Jessica Marie jump into the tournament and ask the important questions: Are these characters really villains? Are the families? What happens when curses are broken the wrong way? And who wrote the book!? Really, research had to be done to confirm.
TW / CW: generational trauma, alcoholism

August 01, 2022 080. Ever After: "I wonder if they Mythbusted this?"
ACOFAE Podcast Presents: Ever After: "I wonder if they Mythbusted this?"
When Ms. Drew Barrymore herself calls Ever After her favorite role, what else is left to say?! A lot apparently! Join Laura Marie and Jessica Marie as they get caught up in the drama of this lovely Cinderella retelling.
Glass slipper? Check. Stepsisters, one of which is probably evil? Check. Evil stepmother? Check. Fairy godmother? Oh no. Just a bit of science. The prince saves the day? OH HELL NO. Our Cinderella, Danielle, saves herself, her loved ones, and essentially the entire kingdom with dignity and grace, and a swift kick in the ass to the prince.
Henry: Pick one. (looking at a full library)
Danielle: I could no sooner choose a favorite star in the heavens.
*The point, gentlemen, was that they lived.
