Book Yellers

It’s a critical darling, it’s a beautifully written scrapbook, it drove Laura to an existential crisis, it’s Martyr!! We are scared of this book! Is it mystifying, or are we just mystified? Join us as we untangle the Gordian knot of Cyrus’s journey. And please tell us if you understood the ending any better. You might as well rate, review and subscribe, because nothing means anything. Love you in...

Katie and Laura blow a conspiracy wide open!! Today is the first day of our careers in investigative journalism (also our last). Ever true to form as cranky yellers, we find fault in the craft, are skeptical of plagiarism, question the author’s motives, and create a maybe hairbrained scheme tying McFadden to the insidious and regressive right wing agenda. If you, too, feel frequently like Statler...

Choose your yelling fighter: "The third wave of the internet was the worst thing to ever happen to humanity" (Laura) vs "Sadie Green is a an indefensible downer" (Katie). Sides are taken. Defenses are substantiated. Accusations are made. Tensions rise. Katie and Laura eventually make up over the true message of the book, which has nothing at all to do with video games. If you believe in the power...

If you’re looking for angsty and confessional you’re in the right place. Elizabeth Gilbert confessing to premeditating a near-murder gets Laura dishing on her toxic exes and Katie on her skepticism that people can really change. See also: yelling on bad art, lesbian codependency, consent from beyond the grave, and Earth School. As an added bonus, if you listen closely you can hear Laura’s 90-minut...

Eat, Pray, Love? More like Shout, Scream, Yell!! We wax skeptical about Elizabeth Gilbert collecting friends, doing religious tourism, and eating pasta in a culture of misogyny. Does our author have questionable judgment? Is she an unreliable narrator? Is her heart in the right place? If you like us as yappers or as easy marks, go listen and rate and review! xx bisous bisous

Hot take: This book is not spared from the White Knight Lesbian trope! Hot take: This book didn’t need a character wrestling with her sexuality! Hot take: We can justify these literary decisions by accounting for the cultural milieu! Katie says this episode is basically a dissertation on queer politics. Laura would like to point out that we also talk about spoons, haircuts, and meth. Be gay with u...

The only thing better than a love story is a love story with lesbians. And a house of mysterious origins. And a grating patriarchal neighbor getting what he deserves. And bunnies. We unpack the politics of queer attraction, and find the genius in hiding Chekov's gun in plain sight for your readers. Tune in next week for part 2, where we answer the question: will our World War II gays get their hap...

Do you guys like time travel? Spider robots? Preserving your free will in the face of sinister hive-minded political agendas? Or are you just fed up with online dating? Give us your hand and let's violate some causality. Love you in the past, present, and future xx bisous bisous Content warning: child death

Tampons, oedipal complexes, and a poop city: this book really does have it all! Is it really all one big veiled autobiography? We wax poetic and resolve little to nothing. Maybe the real road trip is the podcast friends you make along the way. We love you lots rate review subscribe xx bisous Content warning: suicide, infant death

You can’t spell Yellowface without YELL! We are longwinded but fortunately are pleased at ourselves. We talk, the twittersphere (🙅🏻‍♀️!) and ponder author motivations. If you like us as yappers or as insignificant specks of dust, go listen and rate and review! We hate Spotify ON PURPOSE, go find us anywhere else. xx bisous bisous Content warning: death, suicidal ideation, sexual assault "Cat Per...

We are on Spotify FOR NOW and we recommend you cancel your subscription. Find us elsewhere. xx bisous bisous Content warning: suicide, sexual assault
