Everyone and Their Sister

Hello one and all, welcome to another episode of Everyone and Their Sister. We're your humble hosts Brennan, Lee and Mulligan. With us, as always, are our lovely intrepid heroes. Say hi, Intrepid Heroes!

In case you can't tell, we are huge fans of Dropout TV here at EATS today, with our fellow Intrepid Hero, Ardo, we investigate the successes and failures of streaming platforms past (and present) in part two of our two-part...

Get out your credit card details because another free YouTube channel just launched their own Netflix. This week the sisters, and special guest Ardo, do a deeper dive than ever before into what's going on at Watcher, Try Guys/2nd Try, Dropout, Nebula, Sidemen, and more. With Netflix, Amazon and Disney all in a race to ruin streaming content the most, is there room for all your favourite free channels to be asking for your atten...

Fellow Sisters of the Ton, find the illustrious members of EATS returned to their desks, ready to discuss and review the first course of the third season of Bridgerton, the budding romance between Colin Bridgerton and Penelope Featherington, and the many, many, many other scandals sparking this season.

What, we wonder, can be expected of their response? Will we be surprised with a glowing endorsement of the season, a diamond select...

Does a romance novel need to end in a Happily Ever After ™ ? We discuss this hotly debated topic in the romance community, and how we have seen this genre convention played out in our own reading life. We are asking the hard hitting questions:

• What does a happily ever after even mean?
• Is Happy for Now good enough?
• Can and should romance stay the same as publishing and the world evolves?
• Does genre really exist or was it ...

Another week, another drama in the book world. This episode we discuss the controversy of author Taylor Barten/Freydis Moon/Jupiter Wyse and their appropriation of Latinx identity to get ahead in publishing. We cover the unravelling of their fake identity and the masterclass Elle Porter has shown in receipt documentation.

In a rare remix, this week we once again dive into special edition based book cover drama. As long as there's no end to publishing cash grabs, we'll still have content! Join us in defence of cover artists as we discuss all the ways companies failed designers, authors, their employees, third-party licensing agreements and more. It's an anti-capitalist break down of the state of books as fast fashion, and we've got lo...

Why did we have to go and make things so complicated? This episode we discuss the big issues that are currently causing us inner turmoil, and they are as follows:

1. Sounds Like a Cult Podcast 

2. Most Ardently by Gabe Cole Novoa

3. Face Jam from Rooster Teeth 

When and why should you stop listening to a podcast? What constitutes a good remake? What does artistic freedom really mean? Do white men with podcasts deserve right...

This week Cristina, Nat and Stephanie run through their failed 100th episode idea, and throw in a round up of notable books they read during one specific week this summer. Exciting. It's the perfect time to load up your not-goodreads book tracking alternative (we're fans of The Storygraph personally) and get ready to grow your TBR even more. Join them at the end for a brief chat on how horny teen movies are nowadays (jealou...

This is an episode like no other...in that, we literally talk about our past 99 episodes—where we started, how we got here, why we aren't joyous people anymore, and where we wanna be. Lookin' out for that sponsor or advertiser always. This one is for all our baby gorls and churrrrrls who have stuck with us for the last five years. And if you're new here, well then we're sorry for this reminiscent nonsense, but it wi...

This week we definitely haven’t run out of ideas as we dive into the Freakout Tag courtesy of BookTube. Steph talks through her rarely given 5 star reads, Nat chats through the perils of judging a book by it’s cover without reading the description, Cristina looks forward to the latest Chuck Tingle, and every single one of us have massive book disappointments we get into it. Join us for the highs, the lows, and the 10 minute aside a...

This week Cristina and Nat use any excuse to pretentiously talk about attending TIFF by forcing Steph to watch The Blackening so we can review it. Normally we’d summarize a little of what we get into here, but actually we just talk about how much we loved it for about 30 minutes, So if you’re reading this now, just go ahead and rent it now, and come back to listen when you’re done, because you’ll also want to just spend some time r...

Come join us in our Barbie World! In anticipation of the new Barbie movie, we are talking about books that will get you in the Barbie mood. We are of course talking romance in all genres: paranormal, contemporary, fantasy, and YA. Was Steph completely unhinged in her picks? Let us know, she’s just Steph.

This week we examine the depths of some of the most "we're not sure" television shows to try to understand if they're actually good, or do we just have bad taste? Join us in dissecting Emily In Paris (spoiler alert, this one is just bad), Daisy Jones and The Six, The Endgame (yeah, we've never heard of it either), Evil and The Society. We may never have an answer to the question "Is it actually good?"...

It's the spiritual sequel to our Wet Hot Erotic Summer, heaux! This week we set out to talk about books we recommend for reading on vacation and our anticipated summer releases, but mostly fail as we devolve into FinDom Grumpy Sunshine Erotica, Monster and Gargoyle Fucking and a solid 15 minutes on the intricacies of magical balloon people's mate-seeking inflatable genitals. It's a slippery slope from light-hearted romc...
