This 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!

We dive into the story arc, character archetypes, feminism (or lack thereof), our fave plot lines/characters, whats going on in the world of Rothfuss and SO MUCH MORE.

We will be covering The Wise Man's Fear (Book 2) in our next episode, so stay tuned for information on that and on the  upcoming book-to-screen adaptation!

PLUGS:

Morgan wants to plug actually reading things and forming an opinion without hating them on blind prejudice. Give that shit a try (try GOOD fantasy or a solid Jane Austen novel)!

The 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 have a problem y'all?), as well as wit, charm and too many opinions. We've got some games (old skool!) and some other goodies for you - check it out!

PLUGS:

Morgan thinks you should really invest some time in Teen Titans Go! (the animated TV show!)- on HULU now!

Mic thinks you should (get excited to) give DC Universe a try (when it premieres later this fall)! You can catch goodies like the Wonder Woman TV series (!), Batman the animated series and all the DC movies.

Beauty 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 drunken and explicit pop culture discussions...if you love talking about sex...THIS IS THE EPISODE FOR YOU! 

PLUGS:

Beauty 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).

Morgan continues to love the work of Brandon Sanderson, and is thoroughly enjoying Words of Radiance ATM!

Beauty 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 All The Gifts is a well-written, hauntingly beautiful zombie movie. Streaming now on Amazon Prime.

Morgan loves A Princess for Christmas (and she's zero percent embarrassed) so pay money to see it now, because you wont regret it.
