Andy and Dani solve ANOTHER murder. Ok... we've been reading a lot of murder books. It wasn't intentional but here we are. How far would you go to protect a sibling? Is it better to be an only child? Dani thinks so...

Andy and Dani talk about pups! Well PUP the band that is... Will they have the same top 5 songs? How many honorable mentions do you think Andy has? And who REALLY is the bigger PUP fan....?

Martyr! by Kaveh Akbar Andy and Dani speak with their inner artist? Do poets ALWAYS have to be depressing? Did we both like the main character? How English major-y did Dani get? Did we accidently choose multiple books in a row with the same plot points? ________________________________________________________ If you’re able, please consider supporting the victims and families impacted by the recen...

Andy and Dani discuss the ethicality of murder documentaries and podcasts. How hungover can one person be? Dani has the answers. Is profiting off of someone else's trauma ever ok? How far back does a murder have to take place before its ok to talk about?

Andy and Dani solve a murder... or do they? Is cloning ever ethical? What about gamifying a murder? How many Lou's does it take to finish a story? Would we want to be cloned? Will Andy ever survive his fear of infinity? Maybe...

Andy and Dani discuss, are open-ended endings ever ok? Spoiler alert they DO NOT agree. Are open ends ok in different forms of media? Will Justin Long ever get the credit he deserves?

Also, sorry for the way Andy talks to you... don't...

Andy and Dani are back and finished their summer series. How many predictions did we get wrong? Is it our fault for getting them wrong? We gotta normalize killing off characters. All you need is a friendship bracelet and a can-do attitude!

Hey Everyone! Wanted to post a little update here. We're not going to be releasing an episode this week, but we'll try to have one out to you next week. Andy is recovering from surgery (everything went great), but he needs to heal up! Thanks for understanding!

Andy and Dani talk about their fwends! Specifically what we like to do when people visit us. What bars and restaurants do we HAVE to go to? What's the best drinking game to play? And what movies do we watch when everyone is inevitably hungover?

Andy and Dani hang out with some hot pirates. How much did they have to drink for this episode? Spoiler a lot. Is magic bad? Is it actually everywhere? Did Dani get attacked by a rogue bee mid episode? Yes. Yes, she did.

Andy and Dani talk about romantasy... well mostly Dani talks. What is the best lover trope? Who is the best book boyfriend? How can these men get away with what they say? How much voyeurism is too much voyeurism? These are all great questions.

A Darker Shade of Magic by V.E. Schwab  Andy and Dani start their summer series! Will this series have a hot shadow daddy? Maybe… Will Dani like this book series more than Andy? Probably… Most importantly, will they ever get a prediction right? Who knows… 

Sorry for the delay! There was a scheduling error... but you're getting two episodes today so... yay! Andy and Dani discuss how they handle break-ups. Is it better to let someone down easy? Is Dani too empathetic? Is timing reeeeeally everything? And titles don't really mean anything.

Good Material by Dolly Alderton Andy and Dani break-up. Is there a right amount of time it takes to get over someone? How mopey is too mopey? Do women handle break-ups better than men... duh.

Andy and Dani talk ALL about Andy's vacation... blah blah blah. Whatever. Well, actually we were supposed to talk about his vacation but ended up talking mostly about how awful it is when your flight gets delayed and you miss your connections. Whoops

The Lady in the Lake by Raymond Chandler Andy and Dani solve a murder... oh and it's Andy's birthday, but whatever. How much does Andy love noir? Even more intriguing... does Dani? And why did we start talking about what porn would be like in the Matrix? I don't know... guess you'll have to listen.

Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon Andy and Dani ride a dragon, get poisoned, and kill a demon? Did this book live up to our expectations? Should this book have been split into multiple? Do happy endings mean as much as sad endings? Find out...

There's been an episode pivot! Sorry for delay of Lit Lit Andy and Dani talk about book covers... more specifically, book covers that are really, really cool! When should you judge a book by its cover? Do genres have specific artistic qualities? And most importantly, does Andy have good taste?

Andy and Dani talk classic Sci-Fi... Does space travel need to be explained? Will Dani ever forgive Andy for gaslighting her about Galaxy Quest? What is the new frontier for boredom? How quickly does Dani spiral about space?

Recursion by Blake Crouch Andy and Dani are stuck reliving their lives again... and again... and again. The time travel theories? Pretty cool. But is that enough to carry a whole book? (Spoiler: the old guy says no.) So how much do you really need to care about characters for a story to land? And more importantly... how many drinks did we have while figuring it out? Trigger warning: This episode i...

Andy and Dani talk about their Moms. Queue the oooos and ahhhhhs. But first we talk about the new Pup album, and then our infamous "I was a bad toddler" stories, and then soft-core... AND then we talk about how awesome our Moms are. A very typical Mother's Day episode

Nightbitch by Rachel Yoder Andy and Dani enter motherhood. How much female rage can you squeeze into one book? The answer is a lot of it... How many times can you read a book and get something new out of it? Please don't put your kids in a kennel. And there is one scene that we REFUSE to acknowledge.

Andy and Dani start a band. Well actually they just talk about their favorite band names so don't worry there's no singing... or maybe there is. Who do you think has the best fake band name? My bet is on Dani... but that's probably because I write the show notes and Andy never reads them.

The Book of Night Women by Marlon James Andy and Dani continue crying. Get ready for another doozy of a book... did we stack the front half of our year with too many good books? How many more books will make us cry this year? Do you want to see a cat? These are all questions that can be answered... if you listen
