Did 2020 hurt you? No, this book did DANIELLE! This month we skimmed This Time Next Year by Sophie Cousens, a romcom without the rom OR the com. Fall into a pothole with us as we ship Minnie Cooper to Old Jersey where she meets Quinn and they snog, but also kinda just like doooooon’t. I wish I could give you any context, but there is none. Don your fish tie, eat your pie soup in a bread bowl, and join us with your favorite hot beverage!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KATIEEEEEEE! And happy 2021.

New Brand Alert! Two gals sip COCKTAILS and chat books. In this episode, we rant and (briefly) rave about The Guest List by Lucy Foley. All the characters were drunk, so we decided to have a drink (or three), too... Alyssa reads a variety of reviews and dishes out the plot holes. Meanwhile, Katie is the mess in this episode and can’t stop burping, singing, and getting heated. So, grab your studio gremlin, sail to a conveniently stormy and remote island, and join us with your hot or alcoholic beverage (you might need it)!

Did you like part one? No? Well, here’s part two and we don’t know what’s going on! Journey down this worm (rabbit?) hole with us as we finish up our “synopsis” (reenactment?) of the film. This episode features a knockoff Killian Jones, Katie’s beautiful singing, and Alyssa’s dinosaur knowledge. Join us with your bucket of blood!

New People

Maud Martha

Before You Suffocate Your Own Fool Self

It’s a different episode format emphasizing the texts and their authors in an effort to amplify Black voices.

Welcome to Coff-movie-ee, the podcast where we yeet THE Velocipastor right out the window. That’s right, this week we cover the 2019 cult-classic-wannabe, THE Velocipastor! Join Kaffinated Katie, KandiKate, and Alyssa as they TL;DW the first half of the film. Warm your abdomen, grab a glass of red wine – because of blood? – and try to spot Katie’s water bottle!

Get ready for lots of positive grunting! *mic drop* This week, we dive into something that is right in our alley and up our wheelhouse: SHORT STORIES!! We each share one of our favorite pieces of short fiction and boy are they different. Katie covers the genre annihilator Carmen Maria Machado and her quiet “Horror Story.” Meanwhile, Alyssa babbles about the Lori Alice Munro-lore “semi-biotic” short story “People Like That are the Only People Here.” Are these our future selves? Comb your beard, grab your favorite hot beverage with a single ice cube, and tune in to find out!

Hot spook-tacular diggity dang is this an exciting episode! We’re talking about The Sun Down Motel, a boo-ty shaking, diaper filling, paranormal, true-crime, women’s fiction novel written by fellow murderino Simone St. James, a.k.a Katie’s future self but sadly without a Wikipedia page. After giving a short background on St. James and her 18 day old novel, we show off our own expertise (we expertize?) in paranormal and true crime to talk about the blending of these genres! So take off those uncomfortable jeans, put on that diaper, and join us with your fav hot beverage and murderino spirit!

Where’d you go, plot hole? Where’d you go, frog facts? Where’d you go, ice cube? Not the freezer! But really, where did you go, Bernadette? This week we talk about the satirical (?) Maria Semple novel! Buckle up for a buttload of in-your-end-os and a wild ride to the south pole to meet Santa. We chat about the novel's form, voice, and library binding! But we promise it’s not as dull as it sounds. Take off those pants, grab your key-card, ice cube for your hot beverage, and join us on this cruise.
