Brenna and Joe head off to College for a sexy educa-

Nope! Can't do it! There are no jokes to be had regarding the painfully unsexy and potentially damaging "erotic" coming of age book by Wattpad "author" Anna Todd.

On the other side of the gulf is director Jenny Gage's bland-as-white-toast film adaptation starring human block of wood Josephine Langford and horribly miscast (and inconsistently British) Hero Fiennes Tiffin.

Topics for discussion include the sad reality of why this book didn't employ an editor, the preoccupation with "technical virginity" and why foreign movie audiences are to blame for a potential sequel. Also: Brenna makes a startling discovery at the 1 hour mark that will have a ripple effect on YA Bingo for the rest of Book Two and leaves Joe scrambling to explain himself!

In Homework: For back to school, Brenna praises Spider-Man: Far From Home and recommends Debbie Reese's Twitter thread on Child's Garden of Verse while Joe gushes over Meredith Russo's trans fairytale If I Were Your Girl (prompting Brenna to recommend Gwen Benaway and Love Lives Here by Amanda Jette Knox)
