Whether it was a reaction to the politics of the time or the rapidly approaching end date of the Mayan calendar, the pop-cultural landscape of the early 2010s can be best remembered for one thing: dystopian literature. Join plucky young heroines and podcast hosts Daphne and Kellie as they dive into all of your favorite young adult novels and series from this era as we reread the revolution. We lived through it once and are back to recap, review, and discuss all the best and worst that the world-shifting genre of YA fiction has to offer–the sci-fi, the fantasy, and the supernatural–at least until our society crumbles and we have to survive a brave new world.

"That face card has never declined once in his life.”
As promised, Catherine Hardwicke's stunning 2009 adaptation of Twilight is on our screens this week. We're joined by longtime friend and Twilight superfan Sam, and the hater police are in for a treat because it's our least critical episode of all time (and if we're being realistic, probably for all time). I'd say to take a sip every time we say the word "iconic" or talk about what a life-changing piece of cinema this is, but you would probably die.
Don't worry, we still did our homework and bring in tons of behind-the-scenes details about the cast and crew, filming locations, wardrobe and makeup, and how this film made it from page to screen, but the episode more or less devolves into a quote-off by the end. The girls that get it, get it. Hold on tight, spider monkey.
