We swear we're going to get around to Needle in a Timestack at SOME point. Honestly. It's gonna happen. But until then, we've decided to round up our favorite summer reads of 2022 thus far and dish on all our favorite moments. Guess how many of them work their way back to Chris Evans? Far too many for it to just be a coincidence but we promise we did not plan it! Still, not the worst theme to work its way through the episode. Our List: Book Lovers by Emily Henry Set On You by Amy Lea Funny You Should Ask by Elissa Sussman Hook, Line, and Sinker by Tessa Bailey The Stand-In by Lily Chu Thank You, Next by Andie J. Christopher Wicked Beauty by Katee Roberts We also briefly discuss the chaos that is The Boys season 3 without trying to spoil Jenny too badly and what's left on our TBRs to get us through the summer. Don't be surprised if we do another one of these episodes soon! Please Subscribe/Rate/Review!

HAPPY PRIDE LISTENERS!  Have you ever wondered what Pride & Prejudice would be like if it was set in an iconic gay village off of the South Shore of Long Island? Have you ever thought, "Hey what we need is a gorgeous three-part harmony arrangement of Sometimes by Britney Spears" or needed to know what Conrad Ricamora looked like doing the running man? FEAR NOT listeners! Because Joel Kim Booster, Bowen Yang and Andrew Ahn gave us everything we could have ever asked for with this gorgeous little film. Fire Island is heart wrenching, hilarious, and hopelessly romantic.  Daria even got to see the cast in person at the premiere in New York City while celebrating the start of Pride Month with NewFest. It is now firmly one of our favorite adaptations in Austenland and we spend nearly two hours gushing about how much we love it. Just warning you now! Plus, we briefly discuss all things television with Ozark, Stranger Things, Ted Lasso, and The Boys before we pivot to Jenny's VERY exciting pop-up for Happily Ever After Books this weekend at Word on the Street!  PS.

Can you believe some companies think we should return to the office?? After all this time?? While Jenny and Daria gear up for whatever this so-called "return to normal" is at their respective day jobs, we'll be replaying one of our favorite new rom coms for your listening pleasure. This is The Lost City! Please Subscribe/Rate/Review!

What makes a rom com? A good balance of comedy and romance, of course. Duh?? But what if you watch an incredible movie that calls itself a rom com but is light on one of the two?? What if by the end of the movie you're yelling at the TV like you're six years old and you're smashing two Barbie dolls together to kiss?  Well, Jenny and Daria get into it on I Want You Back - a totally delightful comedy that's a little too light on the romance. We're also both stuck on a few new things this week - Jenny is all about Harry Style's new album Harry's House while Daria can't stop quoting Jinkx Monsoon's stunning Judy Garland during RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars Season 7.  Plus- have you been watching The Circle?  Please Subscribe/Rate/Review!

We truly cannot believe we have reached the end of the final season of The Last Kingdom! What an amazing ride it has been to watch Uhtred, the gangly kid from Bebbanburg grow and eventually end up back where he truly belongs! The final push of these three episodes (8,9,10) are really all about getting back to Bebbanburg and there are some harrowing moments, some old friends whose faces we've missed, some fan service in the final hours. As we came to a close on the final episode, we really couldn't be happier with how it ended. Of course we'd always love to see more of the quiet moments between characters, but this gave us the satisfying end we've all wanted for Uhtred since back in Season 1, Episode 1.  We also talk about Marvel's latest endeavor with the release of the She-Hulk trailer, as well as the BIG NEWS that Season 3 of Bridgerton has officially been announced as Colin and Penelope's season - we talk about what we're hoping happens and what might happen for future seasons.
