Episode 7 - The Heartstopper Mega Episode

02/27/24 • 108 min

Our hosts Chris and Amy spend nearly two hours gushing over everything Heartstopper, the mega sensation of a graphic novel series drawn and written by the amazing Alice Oseman. From the two (soon to be three) season Netflix adaptation, to the gayest and most iconic scenes in the series, to their theories on what awaits us in volume 6, season 3, and beyond, nothing is off the table. If you've read the books, or even if you've only watched the Netflix series or you're simply curious about what all the (well-earned) fuss is about, you will not want to miss what promises to be their best episode yet. So, pull up a chair, grab your coziest gay blanket, and join The Big Gay Book Club.

Episode 6 - Twelfth Grade Night

Our hosts Chris and Amy read the perfectly bite-sized work of queer teen romantic fiction (possibly the best four word combination ever concocted), Twelfth Grade Night! A graphic novel oozing with as much character as it does heart, this story take mighty inspiration from some of Shakespeare's most famous (and fun) works. There's an honest to goodness love triangle, many hijinks, and important messages about acceptance and overcoming grief. You'd be amazed by how much the authors, Molly Horton Booth and Stephanie Kate Strohm, managed to fit into this delectably scrumptious story. The illustrator, Jamie Green, also played an important role in bringing the uniquely fantastical world to life. But, you don't have to take our word for it - pick up the book, give it a read, and then come listen to an episode we had way too much fun recording!

Episode 8 - Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe

Our hosts Chris and Amy present their longest episode yet! This month, they've had the pleasure of reading and discussing Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe, written by Benjamin Alire Sáenz. They laugh, they cry (seriously), and they make metaphors like it's their job! And it's all because of this excellent slice of life story, which centers around the budding friendship of two Mexican American teenagers in the 1980s and explores how their relationship inexplicably intertwines two families for the better. Of note, Chris has claimed that this may be his new favorite book to date. If you're curious as to why, you'll just have to listen.
