035. Moana: "You know who you are."
A Court of Fandoms and Exploration - A Podcast.
08/23/21 • 62 min
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.

195. Want: "Fantasy is freedom."
A Court of Fandoms and Exploration - A Podcast.
03/03/25 • 57 min
ACOFAE Podcast Presents: Want curated by Gillian Anderson: "Fantasy is freedom."
Kicking off International Woman's Month with Gillian Anderson seems fitting. A woman that has touched the lives of so many different people in different ways, a champion for STEM and the skeptic-turned-believer, Gillian, is more involved in our everyday lives than we knew! "Want" is a collection of stories that have been curated and catalogued by Gillian and presented to us the reader in a way that challenges and excites. "Want" is about want. "Want" is about pleasure. Freedom. Expression. Power. Women are powerful when they want, and that power can scare and intimidate so that another emotion is put in place of the power being felt: Shame. There's no room for shame here. Join Laura Marie and Jessica Marie as they reflect on their Gillian experiences, the world today, and why women are so incredible.
We listen and we don't judge.

029. Audiobooks/Traditional reading: "You need to meet people!" "F*** you! I have all these books!"
A Court of Fandoms and Exploration - A Podcast.
07/12/21 • 64 min
ACOFAE Podcast presents: a discussion surrounding audiobooks and traditional reading
Laura Marie and Jessica Marie FIRMLY believe that all reading is valid and that whatever format you use to consume a book is perfectly wonderful. However, there are people out there that say that listening to an audiobook doesn't count. Oh, the drama. In this episode passions are running HIGH. Conversations about ableism and ageism are had and points are made that might make you step back and go "huh I never thought about it like that".
Don't tell Laura Marie's grandma that she wasn't reading. She'd have slapped you.
Rest in Peace, Anthony Bourdain.
Spoilers: No spoilers. Book mentions include The Cruel Prince , Throne of Glass , Legendborn
Author Mentions include: Sarah J. Maas, Jennifer L. Armentrout and Scarlett St. Clair
Trigger Warnings: Discussions surrounding ableism and classism

128. Manacled: "If he is a monster, then I'm his creator."
A Court of Fandoms and Exploration - A Podcast.
07/31/23 • 199 min
ACOFAE Podcast Presents: Manacled: "If he is a monster, then I am his creator."
Happy Birthday Harry Potter! The Boy Who Lived! Yay. OK.
Now, DID SOMEONE SAY DRACO MALFOY?!
ACOFAE tackles it's first fan-fiction episode and Jessica Marie's first Dramione fanfic. Laura Marie pulled no punches and started her off with Manacled. Only the best and arguably most traumatizing for all involved. Harry Potter is dead. Hermione has ministry secrets buried inside her brain and only a magical pregnancy can unlock them. Enter the High Reeve, over 20 chapters of flashbacks, and a story that will break you when it ends and destroy you when you reread. Join ACOFAE as they cry, rage, and gasp in disbelief at a story that will become more real than the canon if you let it. This episode is a long one but Dramione deserves no less.
“What did you think was the source of all his rage?”
Please note: ACOFAE Podcast does not support discriminatory or hateful speech in any form. We stand by the LGBTQ+ community and all fans who found a home in the Harry Potter series and will work to provide a safe space for fans.

A Court of Fandoms and Exploration - A Podcast.
12/27/21 • 107 min
ACOFAE Podcast presents: Shadowhunters - The Infernal Devices: Clockwork Princess
If you know you know. Laura Marie knew. Now Jessica Marie knows too. The epilogue heard around the world comes to destroy once again as Laura Marie and Jessica Marie make it to Clockwork Princess and never recover. If you thought there was crying in Clockwork Prince buckle up because not 6 minutes passed between the Epilogue and hitting Record. Messy, beautiful, profoundly sad but joyous, Clockwork Princess is one that will never ever be forgotten.

198. Marie Antionette: "The revolution can be girly pop."
A Court of Fandoms and Exploration - A Podcast.
03/24/25 • 73 min
ACFOAE Podcast Presents: Marie Antionette: "The revolution can be girly pop."
ACOFAE says "Happy Birthday!" to it's very own Laura Marie and her choice for an episode this year was the film, Marie Antionette. A movie that Jessica Marie has never seen and one that Laura Marie had to learn how to love. Marie Antionette is a girly pop take on the life and death of Marie Antionette. No violence here, just cake, pastels, shoes, hair, dogs, and gossip. Oh and a husband who likes to hunt more than spend time with his wife. Oh and the country is starving and about to revolt. Just that. Join Laura Marie and Jessica Marie as they take in the spectable of Kirsten as Queen and reflect on history and how girls just cannot like anything.
"Let them eat cake? I didn't even say that."

015. Kingdom of Ash: To whatever end, Fireheart.
A Court of Fandoms and Exploration - A Podcast.
04/05/21 • 111 min
ACOFAE Podcast presents: Kingdom of Ash
This episode contains TEARS.
In true ACOFAE tradition, Jessica Marie finished Kingdom of Ash moments before we started recording and the feelings are REAL. It's the end of Throne of Glass and IYKYK.We are sobbing, we are smiling, we are reflecting, and most of all we are coming to terms with the fact that even though these characters aren't real they have affected us and we are changed. Let’s feel things together.
Once upon a time, in a land long since burned to ash, there lived a young princess who loved her kingdom.
AC: Alice Maria Power- @alicemariapower (Aelin falling through the worlds)
Spoiler warnings: The worlds of Sarah J. Maas
Trigger warnings: sex work, substance abuse, sexual assault, domestic/physical violence
DISCLAIMER: At the end of this episode, we begin to introduce what's on deck for the following week's episode. Please note that due to extenuating circumstances mentioned on our Instagram page (@ACOFAEpodcast), there has been a schedule shift.

194. Onyx Storm: "Why, Rebecca? WHY!?"
A Court of Fandoms and Exploration - A Podcast.

ACOFAE Podcast Presents: Onyx Storm: "Why, Rebecca? WHY!?"
If you've been a listener for a while, then you are well aware that ACOFAE and the Empyrean Series have not always gotten along. There's been discussions about being bratty, snobby, and enjoying things just for what they are -- vibes. So in light of all this history, Laura Marie and Jessica Marie have called in some backup to discuss book 3 of The Empyrean Series Onyx Storm. ACOFAE welcomes Aris to the pod to help frame discussions to put them firmly in the realm of THEORIES. Yes, that's correct. ACOFAE is discussing guesses and theories as well as the plot and all it's details as Laura Marie, Jessica Marie, and friend of show Aris get into it.
That's tea.

189. The Wizard's Brew: "January is weird, let's make it weirder."

ACOFAE Podcast Presents: The Wizard's Brew: "January is weird, let's make it weirder."
It's 2025 and things that we are doing this year is finding joy wherever it may take us. Be it different genres, subgenres, or formats...altogether 2025 is the year ACOFAE leaves no stone unturned in the search for joy. So that should explain why Laura Marie and Jessica Marie find themselves in a crime procedural. No really, CRIME! Think 1920's crime noir with gnomes. And werewolves. Maybe some shapeshifters. Throw in a little magic and add a magical institute with fae objects and you've got a story; add in murder and you've got The Wizard's Brew. Potion making is the name of the game for a poor chap who just wants to do right by his wife, until MURDER. Enter in our detective, his pal, and we're off following the clues and going where the case takes no matter what. Oh and our detective is a man.
What's a man doing here?!

190. Spark of the Everflame: "Denial with a capital D."
A Court of Fandoms and Exploration - A Podcast.
01/20/25 • 78 min
ACOFAEPodcast Presents: Spark of the Everflame by Penn Cole: "Denial with a capital D."
The wonderful thing about fantasy is that it's an escape. Sometimes an escape from reality is so needed that Laura Marie and Jessica Marie change up the recording schedule to accommodate Spark of the Everflame. Diem is and isn't like other girls and her world is one of division, gods, and magic. When the old king dies, Diem is thrust into a world of rebels and violence that has her questioning her loyalties to herself, her best friend/lover, and her family. Good stuff. Oh and there's a handsome prince of course. Jessica Marie is swooning and Laura Marie is gushing in book 1 of the Kindred’s Curse Saga.
