Andy and Dani visit Arrakis. Dani is hardcore gaslit by Dune… and maybe Andy. Christopher Walken can only play Christopher Walken. Side stuff comes across better in books than in movies. How long would this movie be without all the desert shots? These costumes are amazing and yes the movie is awesome.

Andy and Dani talk about octopuses. Are high-concept sci-fi books better for conversations? A lot is going on here…. What has 8 legs and MURDERS people? When does AI become human? And why is there so much edging? 

The Mountain in the Sea by Ray Nayler

Andy and Dani talk about the Pitts. What is the best chain restaurant? Did Dani have the best sandwich of her life? How many dad jokes are too many? Obviously, the coolest thing about Pittsburgh is… the aviary. And Andy is NOT special.

Andy and Dani talk about time travel, and is everything a simulation? What would you do if a time traveler told you to leave everything and go home… Well, Andy would need some serious proof… and Dani would need absolutely nothing.

Andy and Dani play an April Fools' joke that completely and utterly backfires. Why did we decide to read the third book in this series? We don’t know… Did we enjoy it? No. Will we read the other books eventually? Unfortunately, yes. 

Entwined with You by Sylvia Day

Andy and Dani talk about GoT. Reading these books in a fever dream. Is the Hodor storyline worth it? GoT got Dani out of her English major book slump. What if Jon Snow ends up being a bad guy in the books… ooooo ahhhh. 

Andy and Dani cast A Gentleman in Moscow. Dani gets one of the cast members right and she’s certainly proud. We’re definitely breaking the actor budget for this one… Who has the better cast? Which character did they choose the same person for? And who is actually casted for the show?

A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles

Andy and Dani get some etiquette training. Dani has to look up what words mean so many times, Andy has BIG issues with aristocracy… is he actually a prince? Don’t miss Andy’s alternate ending and what if the Count was played by Tom Cruise.

Andy and Dani share what they really think of each other. Dani forces Andy to play the card game We’re Not Really Strangers and they find out they are in fact not really strangers. Basically Dani just wants Andy to say nice things about her… but does it work?

The Flatshare by Beth O'Leary 

Andy and Dani talk about falling in love with your roommate. Do these people ever take a day off of work?  Was this book about a very cute love story? Yes. Did we end up talking about abusive ex for nearly 80% of the episode? Also, yes. But we PROMISE this book is lovely and cute!
