This week, we’re talking symbiotes! Venom! Parasites! I Married A Lizard Man! Venom! Honestly mostly Venom! What is it about having an alien consciousness riding tandem in your noggin that sparks such joy? We read virtually all we could find in the symbiote/host dynamic, from the actual Venom comics to Stephanie Meyer’s The Host. Sarah unironically compares the Venom movies to Lawrence of Arabia and Amelia evangelizes spores. 

Our books this episode: 

• The Host by Stephanie Meyer
• Parasite by Mira Grant
• Axiom’s End by Lindsay Ellis
• Earth Fathers Are Weird by Lyn Gala
• Claimings, Tails, and Other Alien Artifacts by Lyn Gala
