Fellow Youths | Ann Arbor District Library

We read John Allison's continuing slice-of-life comic series, Giant Days! We talk about college life, how we choose our friends, and how weird it is that a series can be 12 volumes long and have no actual story. Listen along as we discuss two-dimensional female characters and how they make us want to die, then find out what else we're watching and playing right now!

We talk about our latest obsession: YOU (the Lifetime-turned-Netflix show). Ashley and Nicole admit their long-standing love of doomed couple dramas on the Lifetime channel, and Audrey talks about serial killers. We also cover red flags, dumb heroines, the MANY downsides of dating your stalker, and why it's important to own curtains. Plus, we're watching K-dramas and Fyre Fest documentaries, and sinking hours of our lives into Stardew Valley. Follow along (from a safe distance) as we discuss the creepiest love story ever told!

We talk (mostly over each other) about two Netflix original films: To All the Boys I've Loved Before and The Package. We discuss the ancient art of snail mail and Ashley announces our own Oscar nomination for Best Prosthetic Genitalia.

The gang takes on Night School Studio's supernatural mystery video game, Oxenfree! It's time to make some choices (ugh), fight some ghosts, puzzle over archaic technology like radios and tape players, and ask the unanswerable: who put this chair out here?

We discuss two bone-chilling comics about ghosts: Animus by Antoine Revoy and Anya's Ghost by Vera Brosgol. We talk about vengeful spirits, cursed playgrounds, stories with no endings, and how important it is to always pack a snack, just in case you end up spending the night trapped in a hole with a dead body.

Get out your pom-poms and suspend your disbelief! This week we visit the town with PEP in Netflix's teen drama, Riverdale, a show that takes our favorite, nostalgic animated town and packs it with pink neon, pouty redheads, evil schemes, adults being creeps, teens being creeps, gangs, MURDER, and so much kissing it'll make you say, "AGAIN? Gross."

We cover a lot of ground in this one! We talk about periods, giant lore, and the struggle of finding pants that fit when you're 20 miles tall. You'll meet our new host, Ashley, and mourn the loss of Kathy to her new shiny adult job.

In which we mostly stay on-topic about Lani Taylor’s latest book, Strange the Dreamer, but also end up talking about the intricacies of tanning (or not), potential latent god-powers, and discuss our Pottermore patronuses.

What could be more fun than Daniel José Older’s story of an Afro-Puerto Rican teenager in Brooklyn navigating a whole new world of magic while dealing with the endless machismo of real life? Apparently discussing how to make glue from scratch and the numerous downsides of wearing leather pants if this episode’s tangents have any say in the matter.
