In this episode, Carrie and Jake talk about Kendare Blake's 2021 YA horror novel 'All These Bodies', a sort of true crime podcast in the form of a period piece YA novel. It's unreliable narrators all the way down!

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 has 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.

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!

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.

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...

Some things are acceptable to be into, such as songs about partying, veils, and Val from Josie and the Pussycats. Then there are the things we can do without, such as football, journalism spa retreats, pointy sleepwear, and maple syrup jokes! We discuss this distinction, play 'Things I Bought At Sheetz', and more, in this week's episode of 'Over The Riverdale And Through The Woods', in which Love YA Like Crazy's Carrie and Jake dis...

We start this episode by briefly addressing JK Rowling's recent transphobic comments, before turning to more pleasant topics: It's time to head to the Big E, violate the Satanic Temple's trandemarks, and talk to some creepy kids about your stolen bathrobe, because this episode we're talking about 'The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina: Chapter 4: Witch Academy', available on Netflix!
