  • Better Than An All-Inclusive: "Girls Weekend" by CM Nascosta with Molly
    Hi friends! You’re listening to Make Out Already, and today Molly guest hosts to help me recap “Girls Weekend” by CM Nascosta. I did not know going in that this would be Molly’s first proper romance novel, and I’m so grateful that she was willing to talk about horny orcs and part-fae fuckboys with me. We also talk about Eurocentric beauty standards, generational wealth, and whether Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez are actually together. It’s all wilder than a trio of elf ladies looking for a good time. Spoilers ahead!

  • Cocktails, But Hold the Tails: "Begin Again, Again" by Eve Dangerfield
    Hi friends! On this episode, we discuss “Begin Again, Again” by Eve Dangerfield. This is the first book we’ve recapped that explicitly exists in a post (or let’s be honest, during) COVID world. The pandemic looms pretty large over this story of a recently sober former podcaster who falls for a onetime professional athlete. And yet, this is one of the sexiest books we’ve read this year, while being relatable and beautifully optimistic. Spoilers ahead.

    Hi beautiful, beautiful smooches. On this episode, Deanna and I recap the 2016 movie “The Love Witch” as we continue to celebrate spooky season.

    Stuff we mentioned and stuff you might like after listening:

    Mental illness is stigmatized in media, but there’s no shame in struggling and there are resources, no matter how often people with mental illness are portrayed as the villain. NAMI.org is a good place to start. And therapy is the most accessible it’s been, with many practices across the country continuing to offer remote counseling.

  • Midnight Margaritas All Around! "Practical Magic" with Sarah
    Hi friends! It’s officially spooky season. On this episode, we sit down with our dear friend Sarah to talk about the 90s classic “Practical Magic.” Can you believe I’d never seen it? We talk about the iconic quotes and fashions, the plot holes, and how hot Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman were and continue to be. This goes without saying because this movie is older than Gen Z, but spoilers ahead!

  • Into the Kateeverse: Wicked Villains, Dark Olympus, and Ironically Timed Speculations
    Hi friends! On this episode, we chat about Katee Robert’s “Wicked Villains” and “Dark Olympus” series and speculate about how the two connect. We mention how much we would love Katee Robert to write a short revealing some of these answers, and well — Katee Robert wrote a short revealing some of these answers! So please enjoy our oddly timed speculations, then head over to Katee Robert’s website, sign up for her newsletter, and read the mini arc to see what we got right and wrong.
    We have a few announcements. First, our next book will be “Begin Again Again” by Eve Dangerfield, so go pick that up so you’re ready for our spoiler recap. If you’re a fan of Katee Robert, then you’re probably a fan of one of her frequent audiobook narrators, Jenny Nordbak. Jenny has a new romance coming out September 28 — next Tuesday — called “His Leading Lady.” It pairs an A-list actor and an infamous dominatrix in a fake relationship. And this week is the launch of Jenny’s new podcast with our friend Melody from Heaving Bosoms. It’s called Bonkers Romance and it’s going to be amazing, so go subscribe right now!
    And last but certainly not least: we have merch! Friend of the pod and of life Molly is the creative force behind our new merch. We have tees, mugs and stickers, including our “Where’s the Gay Shit?” and “I Do Have Some Grievances” designs. Use promo code AIRKISSES through the end of the month for free shipping.

  • From Simu to Simulation Theory: "Shang-Chi" and "Free Guy"

    Hi Smooches! On this short and sweet episode, we’re chatting about our triumphant, fully vaxxed and masked return to the theater. We spend most of the episode talking about the masterpiece that is “Shang-Chi.” We try to keep any spoilers mild as we swoon about the cast, the clothes and the visuals, but honestly, just go see the movie and come back! We also rant about how much Disney sucks, and clumsily unpack the controversy around one of the film’s stars. Then we move on to chatting about “Free Guy,” the friends to lovers trope, and simulation theory.

  • You Didn't Bone That WHOLE Time?!: "People We Meet on Vacation" by Emily Henry

    Hi friends! On this episode, we’re recapping “People We Meet on Vacation” by Emily Henry. We previously talked about her book “Beach Read,” and after reading this one, we’re confident saying that this writer does not miss. This friends to lovers romance was so beautiful, and emotional and frustrating that it might have ruined this trope for me, and Alex and Poppy are two of the best romance characters we’ve read.
