I thought I'd bring this release of Patreon bonus to a close here, with a rerelease of a bonus episode we recorded in 2018. What do you do when you see one of your best friends for the first time in almost a year? You watch the 2001 movie Josie and the Pussycats! In this bonus episode, we talk about this baffling yet entertaining piece of early 2000s cinematic entertainment. Also discussed: McDonald's themed showers an...
Jake saw 'Ready Player One' shortly after it came out in 2018, and decided the same night to record a quick bonus episode about the book, the movie, and how they relate.
You can hear a fuller discussion of the book on an early episode of Love YA Like Crazy, and you can hear the Please Don't Send Me Into Outer Space podcast's take on the movie in a special episode they released recently. And you can read Jake's thoughts on another...
Here's an outtake from another episode of Love YA Like Crazy, in which we make fun of a marketing email for around seven and a half minutes.
This episode's theme song is 'Surfing' by Komiku, which I found through WFMU's Free Music Archive.
Back in 2017, Carrie and Jake recorded recaps of season 1 of Riverdale, and we've been rereleasing them on the main feed. With this episode, we've reached the final episode, in which things happen.
Does Sheriff Keller keep the key to the jail under the welcome mat at the front door? Can one be a murderous, kidnapping thug and the best father in town? Does Pop's take payment in spider brooches? How bad is Archie on the scale of Die...
Back in 2017, we recorded recaps of season 1 of Riverdale. In this one, we discussed issues like: Is the Man-Thing going to have a Riverdale cameo? How many times can the word 'incest' be said in a single episode of network TV? What celebrities with the initials 'HL' might be guilty ... of murder??? Who's a bigger jerk: Principal Weatherbee or Sheriff Keller? To hear our takes on these questions and others, listen to this week's ep...
If you ever wanted to hear us say 'Toledo' in the most dejected way possible, today's episode of 'Riverdale Song' is for you! In this episode, recorded in 2017, Carrie and Jake recap Riverdale Chapter Eleven: To Riverdale and Back Again, discuss the joys of being the worst, and engage in a rare bit of self-censorship. How bad is Archie on a scale of a nice dinner to a zombie apocalypse? Tune in to find out!
Back in 2017, the Bad Decision Dinosaur was particularly busy in Riverdale Chapter 10: The Lost Weekend, and Carrie decided to stage a friendtervention with her cohost Jake about it. What is Betty's least favorite word? Can Archie manage to throw a worse party than the Blossoms? Why does Jughead make our hearts hurt? Just how great is the democratic process? Old secrets are revealed, and new secrets made up, in this week's episode ...
Back in 2017, Carrie and Jake drank gutter water and watched the Riverdale episode that IMDB users claim is the worst of the season. We didn't hate it, though. Also, Jake reads some poetry, Carrie gets a little pervy about Jughead and Cheryl, and Jake texts Carrie about Val. All this, and more, in this week's episode of 'Riverdale Phoenix', in which Carrie and Jake discuss Riverdale Chapter 9: La Grande Illusion.
Spoilers abound, so we recommend reading the book before listening, if you're interested in a spooky, atmospheric novel that raises more questions than it answers.

Back in 2017, Carrie and Jake had a lot of questions on their minds: Can four kids with a toolbox build a mall? What if they're bruiser studs? Also, what are the worst gifts to bring to a baby shower? What is Jake's secret history with Luke Perry? Which is better, making out or being a detective? We delved into all of this, and oh so much more, in this week's episode of 'Denial Ain't Just A Riverdale In Egypt', in which we d...
This week, Jake and Carrie suffer in exquisite ecstasy as they discuss 'The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina Chapter 8: The Burial'. Is Sabrina playing 'The Secret of Monkey Island' poorly? Is bringing back the dead, by and large, a no-no? Can an episode of TV centered on a deadly mining disaster also be super horny? Listen to the episode to find out!

For this episode, Carrie and Jake barely scratch the surface of Tracy Deonn's debut novel 'Legendborn'. What a book! We both loved this YA tale of wizards, knights, and being a Black student at UNC-Chapel Hill. Spoilers abound, so we recommend reading the book before listening!

Who have two thumbs and an opinion about Stephanie Perkins's new YA horror novel, 'The Woods Are Always Watching'? Jake and Carrie do! Welcome to a new HOT TAKE SPECIAL, in which Jake speculates that Jon Arbuckle (of Garfield fame)'s old roommate was a serial killer, and Carrie points out a downside to stickshifts that many might overlook.
The episode (and the book) has some kind of graphic descriptions of body trauma, so be aware ...
Back in 2017, Carrie and Jake went for a walk in the Eversgreen Forest, critiqued Veronica's negotiating techniques, explored a haunted attic, and went shopping on Glamazon. Join them in their travels on this week's episode of 'Living In A Van Down By The Riverdale', in which Love YA Like Crazy's Carrie and Jake discuss Riverdale Chapter 7: In A Lonely Place.
The theme song is "JOSIE HAS THE UPPER HAND" by Josh Woodward. Free downl...
This episode, Jake and Carrie discuss 'The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina Chapter 7: Feast of Feasts'. Carrie has the Shinning! Jake connects ex-GW Bush scriptwriter and current Never Trumper David Frum to satanic rituals! There's a subplot we actually kind of like! And some we're not as fond of. Give it a listen and see what you think!

For this episode, Carrie and Jake read 'Darius the Great Deserves Better' by Adib Khorram. Carrie is a pretty good shell. Jake is making unapproved tea. Is penis mockery just part of growing up? Why are the parents in this book different from other YA parents? These questions are addressed in a spoiler-filled discussion. We recommend reading the book before listening!

Back in 2017, we visited the Garden of Deliverance with the Sisters of Quiet Mercy, and then headed out past the maple syrup sign on the Lost Highway. Did we learn discipline and respect as a result? Find out in this episode of 'The Midnight Ride of Paul Riveredale', in which we discuss Riverdale Chapter 6: Faster, Pussycats! Kill! Kill!
We mention in this episode the concerns about making Jughead heterosexual in the TV series. A f...
Another year, another episode of Sabrina! Today we're talking about 'The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina Chapter 6: An Exorcism in Greendale', in which Suzie makes Jake sad, Hilda makes Carrie happy, and the mention of thirteen months makes us agree that that's just a lot of goddamned months.

For this episode, Carrie and Jake read 'Darius the Great is Not Okay' by Adib Khorram. Carrie does some Google Maps research, Jake mentions Puppetry of the Penis, and they have a brief discussion of teasplaining, while completely failing to talk about truck nuts, alas. Spoilers abound, so we recommend reading the book before listening!
This episode features a clip from the early Lonely Island song 'The Heist', and a couple of brief...
Hi again all! Welome back to Love YA Like Crazy, where, this episode, we're talking about ... a BOOK??? (It's true!) Specifically, 'A Song Below Water' by Bethany C. Morrow.
This episode was recorded on August 20 -- sorry for the delay in getting to you! But this is being released the day before the 2020 US election, and I imagine that a lot of you are kind of stressed, so, for now, just put in your earbuds and think back to that f...
