Beauty and the Bitch120: The WitcherIn this episode, Mic covers the general history of The Witcher franchise and his various likes and dislikes, re: the Netflix adaptation.

The 4th and final season of Kimmy Schmidt just wrapped up and we think they did a stellar job at bowing out at just the right time.

Catch all the deets about the original run and the reboot that's out now! We love you...2018-10-2449 minBeauty and the Bitch069: The Hate U GiveThis week Beauty and the Bitch are tackling the wildly popular and extremely relevant The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas.

We used to love it, and now we hate/love it. Like, is it truly terrible now? Or are we missing something? Either way, we're back this week to get "hyped" for the a new season of Robert Kirkman's masterpiece with criticism and jokes about death. Your favorite kind!

If you've never seen this NBC sitcome (also available on HULU) then you need to stop EVERYTHING you are doing right now and go watch all of it! Today's episode has *some* shade, but we're mostly here to share the love (plus indulge in tangential non-sequitors where we complain and chat as per usual). PLUGS: Mic recommends you check out Go-Go Boy Interrupted featuring Nico Santos (MATEO!). Morgan actually enjoyed (Cock)Blockers, so check it out fo...2018-09-2648 minBeauty and the Bitch065: The House with a Clock in its WallsBeauty and the Bitch is bringing nostalgia back (YEP) and talking all things The House with a Clock in Its Walls. This 1973 juvenile mystery fiction novel written by John Bellairs and illustrated by Edward Gorey is the first in a series of twelve novels featuring the fictional American boy Lewis Barnavelt. Mic was a big fan as a young person and there will likely be many more fans of the upcoming movie adaptation that is set to release on September 21st, 2018. Whether you love YA, mysteries, half-dead sorcerers, awkward children, a little bit of fantasy, rude...2018-09-1954 minBeauty and the Bitch064: I'll Be Gone in the DarkBeauty and the Bitch GOES THERE (like Degrassi); this week we are taking on true crime and one CRAZY case in particular. The Golden State Killer was arrested for his crime spree (circa 70's-80's) just this year, thanks to advanced DNA technology. Michelle McNamara unfortunately didn't live to witness justice. She passed away in 2017, but her book I'll Be Gone in the Dark: One Woman's Obsessive Search for the Golden State Killer was published posthumously. Her desire to help get this case solved and bring an end to the living terror still felt by the GSK's...2018-09-121h 06Beauty and the Bitch063: NeverwhereThis week Beauty and the Bitch are diving into Neil Gaiman's CLASSIC "Neverwhere." Originally adapted as a BBC II Mini-series, Gaiman quickly saw the need to re-write and adapt as a novel alongside the show. (TIPS: The novel is way better). Mic and Morgan discuss a shared love of Gaiman (and Gay-men), while disecting Neverwhere and who should check it out (EVERYONE REALLY). PLUGS: Mic just saw Room (he's late, okay) and thinks EVERYONE SHOULD SEE IT. It's beautiful, sad, inspiring, and makes you value your life and relationships. He gives this his o...2018-09-0659 minBeauty and the Bitch062: OutlanderThis week Beauty and the Bitch are diving into Diana Gabaldon's Outlander! Oooh sexxxy! Starz has popularized this fantasy/romance/period drama and season 4 starts VERY SHORTLY. Morgan is a big fan and is currently plowing through Book 4 in preparation for Season 4. Mic thinks it all sounds slightly ridiculous, but agrees that Sam Heughan (Jamie Fraser) is a god among men (SPOILERS: we talk about this fact. A. Lot). So, if you're into time travelling, fantasy, period pieces, messy families, comedy and romance and more, you should check it out! It's less about romance as t...2018-08-291h 04Beauty and the Bitch061: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Pt. 2This week Beauty and the Bitch are actually wrapping up our Harry Potter talks with Part 2 of our Deathly Hallows discussion. It's bittersweet that we made it all this way; a year-and-a-half into our podcast and our beloved Potter-talk is ACTUALLY wrapping up. We've got all the feelings, all the hype, lots of jokes (we coat our sadness with comedy), predictions about futures & musings on the past. Also shade. SO MUCH SHADE. Hot takes: Hermione is NOT a virgin, but Harry and Ron for sure are (for sure!). If you read Harry Potter backwards, the...2018-08-2151 minBeauty and the Bitch060: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Pt. 1This week Beauty and the Bitch are taking on Part 1 of our Harry Potter finale (of the original series...we'll find more HP to talk about!). It's bittersweet that we made it all this way; a year-and-a-half into our podcast and our beloved Potter-talk is ACTUALLY wrapping up. We have so many emotions about the first time we read this book (Mic has only read it once because he doesn't like for things to end). We've got all the feelings, all the hype, and some movie chatter (some good, some BAD). TBH, we were not into Part 1 of the...2018-08-1350 minBeauty and the Bitch059: The Wise Man's FearThis week Beauty and the Bitch are PUMPED to talk more Patrick Rothfuss news! Part Two of our Kingkiller Chronicle coverage includes all the latest internet gossip on the upcoming film and TV adaptations and what we know about Book Three (practically nothing, TBH). We do a little fantasy casting (BECAUSE WE LOVE TO DREAM BIG) and spill some T on what we love and don't love about The Wise Man's Fear. Are you obsessed with Kvothe and his journey? Not sure if it's worthwhile? This is a 98% spoiler-free discussion that we handle very diplomatically because we...2018-08-081h 11Beauty and the Bitch058: The Name of the WindThis week Beauty and the Bitch are joined by their most popular guest: a bottle of wine! Okay, but really, we record on Wednesday and it just *happens* to be hump day. This week we are HYPED to discuss one of our all-time favorite fantasy books, Patrick Rothfuss's The Name of the Wind. Rothfuss is one of the most popular fantasy authors writing today (alongside Brandon Sanderson & George R.R. Martin) and we are waiting (impatiently) for the conclusion of his trilogy!

To the MoviesThe DCEU is constantly evolving and growing and they have a lot on the table right now! In this episode of Beauty and the Bitch we are diving into Teen Titans Go! To the Movies, the new DC streaming service "DC Universe", (which brought you the slogan "Fuck Batman!"... SO THAT'S A CHOICE) and other DC adjacent projects. Mic brings us all the deets on the new streaming service and what's on the docket. If you love DC there is a lot to look forward to! As always, we're joined by a bottle of wine (do we...2018-07-251h 00Beauty and the Bitch056: Hostful Episode - Sex and PoliticsBeauty and The Bitch are sitting down this week with Jessamyn Fitzpatrick, traveling theatre artist and sex educator (and Mic's longtime friend). We discuss politics, problems she has with our podcast (?!), pop culture controversies and the general lack of female orgasms in media (we'll help you find a few, no worries). Jessamyn helps us address topics we're very passionate about but rarely fully discuss: representataion in entertainment, #MeToo, and how much wine we've consumed. Okay, well, we talk about those things all the time, but we're doing a deep dive ON TONIGHT! If you love...2018-07-171h 38Beauty and the Bitch055: Terry Brooks / The Shannara ChroniclesBeauty and the Bitch have a collective revelation: we have missed out on years of books by Terry Brooks. Mic has read a few and Morgan has read none, but SOMEHOW we still manage to have opinions about everything. Join us as we binge "The Shannara Chronicles", have feelings about Terry Brooks impressive (and intimidating) output, discuss the current state of fantasy and lots of other shenanigans and bitchiness! PLUGS: Mic thinks White Trash: Race and Class in America is an important read for all people (but especially for self-identifying "trashy" white people).2018-07-101h 28Beauty and the Bitch054: Ant-Man and the WaspBeauty and the Bitch are here to discuss all things Ant-Man and the Wasp, but we will not be skimping on the MOST IMPORTANT THING OF ALL: Michelle Pfeiffer. We're excited to see how Janet van Dyne survived the Quantum Realm (remember? She got sooooo smaaallllll!?!?) and have all the fan theories & predictions. Plus, we're here to help you make connections between Marvel's Infinity War, Ant-Man, and the rest of the MCU. What cameos do we predict? Who will die? Who will get VERY SMALL!?!? PLUGS: Mic thinks The Girl With A...2018-07-041h 08Beauty and the Bitch053: PreacherThere's nothing more sacrilegious than Beauty and the Bitch....except maybe Preacher! Initially a graphic novel created by Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon, Preacher has been brought to life on AMC by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg (and company). Now, we think this is an...interesting choice for AMC...and we have a lot of feelings. Meander along with us as Morgan speaks unintelligently and Mic imparts (frequently and at length) nuggets of his vast comic book knowledge. Just kidding, they both read the Wikipedia page. We explore the vast filmography of Rogen & Gol...2018-06-261h 13Beauty and the Bitch052: Jurassic World Fallen KingdomBeauty and the Bitch are joined today by our good friend Sarah (dinosaur expert*) to discuss Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom! Today we explore the drama of Hollywood, whether or not we actually would pay $$ to go to real-life Jurassic World, why high heels in Jurassic Park make us furious (I mean, come on), chemistry and lack thereof, our fave dinos, games and wordplay - AND SO MUCH MORE! If you feel that deep nostalgia when thinking of Jurassic Park, but you're also a cynical and judgmental bitch, THEN THIS IS THE EPISODE FOR YOU! 2018-06-181h 13Beauty and the Bitch051: Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, Pt. 2Beauty and the Bitch is bringing you Part 2 of our Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince discussion! We are again joined this week by Harry Potter superfan Ashley (@lifestyledxash)...and by two additional bottles of wine. All three are delicious and inspiring and our discussion is POPPING. Book 6 is the beginning of the end of the series, of Voldemort, and of Harry's childhood. We continue our deep-diving into Harry's complicated and angst-ridden relationships, sprinkling in games limericks and pertinent(?) information! We have some nit-picky things we need to discuss (like how good of a professor is Sl...2018-06-1258 minBeauty and the Bitch050: Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Pt. 1We're joined again this week by Harry Potter superfan Ashley (@lifestyledxash)...and by two bottles of wine. All three are delicious and inspiring and our discussion is POPPING. Book 6 is the beginning of the end of the series, of Voldemort, and of Harry's childhood. We attempt to do it justice by slurring through a (pretty freaking decent) 2 Minute Recap and deep-diving into Harry's complicated and angst-ridden relationships. Malfoy gets his five minutes of Beauty and the Bitch fame (okay, Mic just loves him and talks about him all the time) and Ashley calls out Harry's male privilege.2018-06-0555 minBeauty and the Bitch049: Deadpool 2Listen, we love Deadpool. We think Ryan Reynolds is the brilliant and foul-mouthed antihero we deserve. In fact, we're COMPLETELY behind the first installment of Deadpool (like, almost no scruples at all) and we predict that Deadpool 2 is gonna crush it (whether measured in dollars or giggles or both). Come and relive our favorite Deadpool moments with a 2 Minute Recap (that Morgy crushes), games, secret histories, laughs at the expense of other movies and other humans and MORE. Where does Deadpool stack up in your Marvel faves? What do you think about future potential crossovers?

We're (sort of) excited for it! We, of course, have some scruples (after all, this is "Beauty and the Bitch: Scruple-Cast"), but we're very excited to see Donald Glover as a young Lando! Sequels and spin-offs are a big part of the Hollywood landscape right now, so we also discuss these larger trends. Is creativity dead? Do we find the best writing in exploring characters further and elaborating upon fictional worlds, or is...2018-05-211h 11Beauty and the Bitch047: Slender Man / Urban LegendsWe both grew up with urban legends that led to sleeplessness, frightening fun with friends, and fear of the dark. These legends vary geographically and the most popular tales change over time as new fears are introduced. Slender Man is a recently developed urban legend that was born on the internet is and, frankly, scary as shit (!!). BUT WHAT DOES IT MEAAAN?! Come check out the history of urban legends and the birth of Slender Man with Beauty and the Bitch! This episode covers the forthcoming film featuring Slender Man and the grisly crime that h...2018-05-151h 12Beauty and the Bitch046: Summer BlockbustersThe Summer Blockbusters are almost here!

There are many near-miss Hollywood projects that are initially greenlit but eventually founder. Maybe it was a great idea, maybe it even began production...and maybe it dramatically fell apart because of money issues. If it could have been but never was, we're talking about it today! Speculation is our strong suit and throwing around baseless judgement is our mainstay. Join us for a countdown of our top "Movies That Never Were" and help us sort through the wild rumor mill to fi...2018-05-011h 12Beauty and the Bitch044: Avengers: Infinity WarMarvel's latest installment (Avengers: Infinity War) is GOING TO BE BANANAS (B-A-N-A-N-A-S). There is so much leading up to this installment (including 18 full-length feature films, and approximately 50,000 episodes of TV......that *some* of us haven't gotten around to yet!). So, needless to say, THIS IS A LOT TO PREPARE FOR. Fret not BB's, for we are here to help! We are joined on todays episode by our very dear friend (and first repeat guest!) Dr. Andrew Friedenthal, who puts his comic book specialties to work as we recount the MCU and prepare for this madness. ...2018-04-231h 33Beauty and the Bitch043: The Handmaid's TaleMargaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale was an amazing memoir published in 1985. FAKE NEWS! Just kidding, The Handmaid's Tale was NOT a memoir, but has the horrifying potential to become such. We love that this book covers topics pertinent to today's society and acts as a reminder of what could be if we let hatred win. The story has been adapted for the screen by HULU and sesason two is just around the corner! Check out our episode for a recap of Season 1 (and feelings), and season 2 predictions! We are SO excited...2018-04-161h 24Beauty and the Bitch042: Voldemort: Origins of the HeirToday on Beauty and the Bitch, Mic and Morgan take a deep dive into the amazing (and explicit) world of fan-fiction by exploring the latest Potter-craze: Voldemort: Origins of the Heir. This 52 minute long fan-film brings us the history of Tom Marvolo Riddle (I AM LORD VOLDEMORT), which we DIDN'T EVEN KNOW WE WERE MISSING IN OUR LIVES! We explore some other amazing Potter fan-fiction out there, discuss our anger with calling "no-homo" on Dumbledore, talk about what we're missing in the Potterverse, and examine what keeps bringing us back to this world: SPOILER, it's...2018-04-091h 04Beauty and the Bitch041: American GodsNeil Gaiman is a master of words and we love and respect his every move here at Beauty and the Bitch. That being said, we did of course make room to TEAR THIS HOUSE TO THE GROUND. American Gods is (in our opinion) one of the best books (EVER) and a Gaiman classic. It has been turned into a STARZ adaptation and is set to launch Season Two in April 2018. HOWEVER, there is too much drama not to discuss! Gaiman is right in the middle; people are leaving; show runners are changing; story lines are up in t...2018-04-031h 05Beauty and the Bitch040: Ready Player OneAustin, Texas' very own Ernest Cline has given us a sweeping sci-fi/fantasy epic made for every kid from the 80's who LOVES nostalgia (and video games, and movies, and books, and style AND DRAMA). "Ready Player One" was one of Morgan's favorite reads of last year (though it came out several years ago), and is definitely for most any Sci-Fi/Fantasy Lover! It hits all of *our* buttons, so we're a little biased here, but WE LOVE IT. And, to commemorate our love for the book, we have brought another superfan onboard (Allison Jackson!) to talk...2018-03-261h 17Beauty and the Bitch039: The Hobbit, pt. 3Beauty and the Bitch are taking on part three of Peter Jackson's "The Hobbit" series. Will they be more bitchy than before? Will "The Hobbit" movies continue to be unneccarily long? What happened to Smaug? Can we hold our own attention? If anyone can do it, Beauty and the Bitch can! We continue on our path of jokes at the expense of Benedict Cumberswizzle, we mourn Smaug, we salute Martin Freeman (and his Bilbo), and we complain about everything. We also continue to confront the controversial love story of Tauriel and Fili: where do you stand on t...2018-03-1958 minBeauty and the Bitch038: AnnihilationBeauty and the Bitch has taken a step into the wild, deep darkness of Jeff van der Meer's Southern Reach Trilogy. This interesting, and twisted trilogy has received the Hollywood treatment with *amazing* director Alex Garland (Ex Machina), who co-wrote and directed Annihilation. Naturally, we have feelings about how the adaptation has shaped up (and changed in a number of drastic ways) and what we think that might mean. Revel in our feelings, effortlessly thrown shade and shared love for Alex Garland, sci-fi (in general) and drama. PLUS: miscellaneous ramblings (obviously our forte). ...2018-03-131h 08Beauty and the Bitch037: A Wrinkle in TimeListen, what follows is the truth.

Glad we got that out of the way. So. On today's episode we are covering "A Wrinkle in Time," which is getting the Reese Witherspoon treatment on the forthcoming adaptation.

Then you're in the right place! At Beauty and the Bitch, we LOVE "The Walking Dead". Like. We love it. Mic even likes Carl (who, admittedly, has even grown on me!).

Dallas takes us through the intricate weavings of film maker Ryan Coogler's career (and why he SO deserves the props he's getting!), along with some jokes, Michael B. Jordan gossips, miscellaneous musings and general rantings. We explore why it's so powerful to (finally) have a super hero of color in the main role, and how gorgeous everyone in this film is.

We dive in to the action packed, song-ful, fictional-love fueled, Smaug-tastic episode of our adventure. We finally get to see Benedict Cumberswizzle in all his glory as Smaug, and see Martin Freeman come more into Bilbo than ever before. We also face the controversial love story of Tauriel and Fili: where do you stand on this invented melo-drama (we're actually kinda there for it!). Not to be missed is (OF COURSE) the shade w...2018-02-0755 minBeauty and the Bitch032: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Pt. 2BB's: Times run out, the Order has suffered losses, and the Dark Lord has ceased to be vanquished.

OH, WELL I GUESS THAT WOULD BE COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT CUZ IT'S ALREADY BEEN DONE. OKAY, J.K. ROWLING. OKAY. But, seriously, we're here to cover the finer nuances of this oft proclaimed "least favorite" read in the Harry Potter verse: The Order of the Phoenix.

That's right, we're looking at you Peter Jackson. After his magicial wonderland that was The Lord of the Rings, ole Pete decided that he wanted to take the 95,456 words of The Hobbit and pair them with a little bit of nonsense, made up things/characters, and bits from The Lost Tales + The Silmarillion - and turn it into a trilogy!
