A Court of Fandoms and Exploration - A Podcast.

Laura Marie and Jessica Marie

Hello there! We are your hosts, Laura Marie and Jessica Marie and this is A Court of Fandoms and Exploration: A Podcast. Every Monday, we discuss the epic highs and lows of YA literature, fantasy/sci-fi, and the tv shows (old and new) that made us the slightly-damaged young millennials we are today. Experience the life-altering realizations and unresolved trauma that only YA and sci-fi/fantasy can soothe as we explore the worlds of Sarah J. Maas in Prythian, Crescent City, and Erilea, and head over to Sunnydale, Elfhame and more! Thank you for listening to us! Please subscribe, leave a 5 star review, and follow us on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/acofaepodcast/) and on our TikToks!

ACOFAE Podcast presents: Disney's Moana

There are some movies that hit harder when you watch them as an adult and some movies that leave you speechless. Moana leaves you speechless and ugly crying. Whether it's the music, the animation, or the message that you could do it all along, this movie does something. Join Laura Marie and Jessica Marie as they talk about why they love this movie, why they watched it in the first place, and what parts make them sob in a ball on the couch (there are more than 2).

"But this does not define you. This is not who you are. You know who you are."

There are no spoilers in this episode.

ACOFAE and Samantha are back with MORE. More discussions about books, about social media, about writing, about movies, and about how scary it can be to put your work out there. Especially when you've been working on it since you were a child. Samantha is an author yes, but she's also a director! Did you know that?! Samantha graciously discusses making movies and all the magic that goes on in front of and behind the camera and how sometimes you have to be your own biggest advocate. Women supporting women.

ACOFAE Podcast presents: Mean Girls

Laura Marie has a confession: this recording is the first time she had ever seen Mean Girls all the way through AND not edited for tv. She's ashamed. Jessica Marie saw this movie in the theater and, rightly so, has been obsessed ever since. While the entire movie is a meme, is quotable, and unforgettable, you might be surprised how much was taken out for TV and how much ick there is. There's a bit more homophobia, fat shaming, and sexism than we all remembered which is unfortunate. What isn't unfortunate is that this movie stays relevant every October, every time we hear Jingle Bell Rock, every time someone gives a compliment, and every time we remember what high school Valentine's Day was like.

You go Glen Coco.

ACOFAE Podcast presents: The Oleander Sword: "Women. How they haunt this tale."

We here at ACOFAE have a saying that has served us well: Always meet your idols. Always.

The Oleander Sword brings us back to the ladies we love: Bhumika, Priya, and Maline and things are not excellent. The war is still raging in Parijatdvipa and though Ahiranya is free in name, it falls to the only two temple elders in existence to run it and they are exhausted. Women are in charge everywhere and Chandra will do whatever he must to burn them all. All this while the long slumbering gods have begun to stir and discover that things are not to their liking. Not at all.

ACOFAE Podcast Presents: Happy 3rd Birthday ACOFAE: The Virgin Suicides and Fourth Wing.

Happy 3rd birthday ACOFAE! During the darkest time of the year it's the most important time to reflect on life, on episodes, and on mindsets. Join ACOFAE for their birthday as they revisit The Virgin Suicides and Fourth Wing with new perspectives, new stories to tell, and new ways to look at yourself! What happens when you're in a funk watching or reading something that everyone loves and you kinda don't? Laura Marie and Jessica Marie take a hard look at themselves and ask if they were the problem, or more specifically "Am I a cynical brat?" as they dive back into the movie and book that rocked the boat the first go around.

ACOFAE Podcast Presents: MST 3000: "It's not so serious all the time."

Let's set the scene: You're two weeks into a book-hangover. You're DNF-ing everything and AO3 isn't getting you where you need to be. What is a reader to do?! Where do you go?! Sometimes taking a step back and changing up the format can do wonders. Enter MST 3000. Enter Spaceballs. Exit the funk that has kept the slump alive. Parody and Satire can keep you in the genre you want to be, the headspace you want to be, but allow you to laugh at yourself, at the content, and at the world in general. Join Laura Marie and Jessica Marie as they reset and have a good laugh. Everything doesn't have to be the be all end all ALL the time. Sometimes you just need to laugh until you cry and then cry until you laugh again.

ACOFAE Podcast Presents: Clueless: "You're a virgin who can't drive."

ACOFAE goes back to school with a heavy dose of nostalgia, plaid, and Paul Rudd. Though being a loose adaptation of Emma, Clueless takes Laura Marie and Jessica Marie all the way back to the 90's when you could argue your way from a C to a A-, call your friends in the hallways, and own a closet that is still today a thing of dreams. Cher and Dionne, the popular of the popular, take new arrival Tai under their wing and things take a turn when friend turn frenemy. Add in a sprinkle of step-sibling romance and dialogue that remains quotable and all the makings of a classic are there!

OMG AS IF!

ACOFAE Podcast Presents: DMATMOOBIL: "Stop listening to us and go read this!"

Happy Birthday Draco! ACOFAE is thrilled to celebrate their favorite Slytherin by covering the best Romantic Comedy ever written. No really. It is the best. Hermione is on the verge of a breakthrough that could change the lives for a huge portion of the magical population and Draco is the lazy but deadly Auror assigned to protect her. What follows is a series of adventures where bums are admired, nuns are cursed, and of course our favorites fall in love. DMATMOOBIL is a delicious romp that takes us to Hogwarts, Malfoy Manner and The Savoy as well as far flung locations across the globe and even Cambridge. Join ACOFAE as they try and fail to not kick their feet and giggle at the story that makes you laugh out loud say "awww" almost constantly. There's nothing wrong with a little joy.
