This week Adaeze and Taiwo watched It Ends With Us and discuss everything about it. And we mean EVERYTHING! From Reddit behind the scenes tea to BookTok book lore.

NEW EPISODES OUT OF FRIDAYS!!! It's the new year, that means it's time for a rebrand. Right? That's what that means...RIGHT? Welcome to the beginning of the next chapter of the podcast. Hopefully it's our best one yet. We continue to be a work in progress, and we hope you stick with us as we continue to grow. In this new era, we are allowing ourselves the freedom to watch and read whatever moves us. As always, we will be taking recommendations. So, feel free to send us your suggestions.
Woops I meant from our regularly scheduled break! (Plus a day or so).
The second book we ever read and discussed for the podcast was A Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes by Suzanne Collins when it was released in 2020. So of course, we had to watch the movie now that it's out in theaters! Thank goodness the strike is over huh?
Join us as we discuss the similarities and differences between the book and movie and the merit of the movie itself. And as we ask the question only you, our loyal listeners can answer; Does this count as a sequel?
And this Thanksgiving we are grateful to be back and for authors highlighting the plight of Palestinians in Gaza.
This week we read and discuss Susan Abulhawa's 2019 Novel Against the Loveless World. A poignant story about a Palestinian woman held as a prisoner in an Israeli prison and how she got to be there. Join us as we discuss the beauty of the novel and share our thoughts on the current conflict.

The one where the gang finally talks about Legendborn by Tracy Deonn!
It took a couple of weeks (and a surprise episode!) but we finally got to discuss all of our thoughts about Legendborn!
Did we hate this book? Did we love this book? Was this book a warm hug? Who did we want Bree to end up with? Did those within The Order like to live? Did we make the crazy choice to record this AFTER a bonus Jonas episode (yes!)? For all other answers, and for questions you didn't even know we had, you're gonna have to listen to us break down this book intrigue by intrigue. (Like you weren't already going to?)
Check your local podcast listening app for our discussion of Legendborn in this week's episode of Textual Deviants (brought to you by the strike supporters of Disney Deviants)!

Love is patient, love is blind, love is toxic, and unkind...that's how that goes right? This we bring you a bonus episode so long, it MUST be the director's cut. This week, we bring you 2 episodes for the price of one. We are deep diving into the first episodes of Netflix's Love Is Blind. And we have important questions like... 1) You know it's still yelling even though you're keeping your voice down right? 2) What exactly is the current state of heterosexual love? 3) Are solo cups the champagne flutes of gym bros?
All this and more

Now let me tell you a little about two girls who are in solidarity with the SAG-AFTRA strike.
Yes, the industry is still on strike and so are we. So we are back with our first read in a long time and we're not sure if we remember how we used to do this, but we sure as hell are gonna have fun trying to figure it out!
For today's episode we read Suffer the Children by Craig DiLouie and the description is as follows: A mysterious disease claims the world's children before bringing them back. To continue surviving, however, they need to ingest human blood. As you may guess from this synopsis, this horror fiction left us with many many feelings. Join us as we discuss our first impressions, a.ka first anxiety, existential dread, how Mr. Craiggory DiLouis had us questioning whether or not we want to be parents nd much more! Mister Craiggory DiLouis, you have some 'splainin' to do!
We're back from an unannounced hiatus that was necessary for many reasons! Travel, family, and the havoc that general late-stage capitalism is wreaking on our chosen industry!

Join us as we talk through reasons for the strike, where we stand (hint hint: we ain't no scabs), and a pivot or maybe rather a return to our roots! Plus bonus content if you make it all the way to the end!

We need answers Darby!!!! Perhaps we'll get them in this week's episode as long as we're All in This Together! (See what we did there?)
We hope you are enjoying our lengthy episodes. What can we say? We have a lot to say. This week, we are joined by an extra special guest, Hannah Wolff, as we dissected the newest installment in the Spider-verse. In this episode, we ask important questions like "who loved this movie the most?" "Which Spidey would you be, and why is it Hobie?" "Why are these animations so damn good at acting?".

We are excited to be back with this one, and we cannot wait to hear your thoughts.
Director Deviation: Q & A with Paul Hoen Disney Director!
Welcome back to another NOT regularly scheduled episode of Disney Deviants!
We know we promised Stepsister From Planet Weird, but hopefully you can forgive us for this deviation, because we got to sit down and talk with the director of the ENTIRE Z-O-M-B-I-E-S franchise!
After a DM to our Disney Deviants Instagram, we saw that Paul had not only listen to our last episode, but that he had was totally game from coming on the podcast to discuss all of the questions, comments, and concerns we had about the final (?) movie in the franchise. And our chaotic selves of course said yes!
So sit down, relax, and make sure you grab a cup of tea, because we spill of our ours in this week's episode of Disney Deviants!
This week we watched the finale of the Disney Channel Original Series Z-O-M-B-I-E-S. This iteration of Disney's new "classic" takes on Aliens, and boooooyyyy, do we have questions. 1) How does one REALLY apply for college? 2) If you replace a whole teenage girl with a pile of junk metal and a screen, and no one is there see it, will it go unnoticed? 3) Who has been led to believe that Zombies, werewolves, and Aliens are real based on this Movie? 4) Is the love story between shrimpy the mascot, and eel, potentially the most important love story in the franchise? 5) How does. Addison's mom keep that wig so laid?
These questions (maybe the answers as well?) and more, on this episode of Disney Deviants
Guess who's back Back again DD's back Tell a friend!
Yes, we are finally back to regularly scheduled programming (give or take a couple of hours) and coming at you with the first DCOM of the year. We have finally reached DCO(BOATS)M. And the we don't mean the kind of boat that helps you float (although our hearts may have taken flight.
This week we watched Miracle in Lane 2 which is based on the true story of Justin Yoder, the first child with a disability to race in and win the National Soap Box derby! This is one for the books so join us as we laugh, cry, and analyze our way through this classic!
We close out our holiday deviations with an oldie (kinda) but a goodie! We watched The Santa Clauses starring Tim Allen on Disney+. Tune in to find out what we think!
Taiwo and Adaeze are back at it again with a familiar face.
That's right, we watched Hallmark's FIRST EVER gay Christmas movie, The Holiday Sitter starring Jonathan Bennett! And ALLEGEDLY the reason for Candace Cameron Bure leaving her Hallmark home for a certain network that shall NEVER be named.
Happy Homo-Hallmark holiday season to you all, and to all, enjoy this very joyful episode!
Taiwo and Adaeze continue their Christmas deviations with a fan request from Esther Sandoval, A Christmas Kiss 2! Or is it Another Christmas Kiss? Clearly the producers didn't know, and neither do we!
We couldn't bring you the second movie in what is clearly the ACKU (A Christmas Kiss Universe) without catching all of you up on the first movie, so we make sure to give you a run down on that too. Tune in as we discuss this 2014 classic and give away the award for Worst actor in this week's episode deviation, A Christmas Kiss 2!
This week, Adaeze and Taiwo begin their holiday deviations with Falling For Christmas. Lindsay Lohan is back on our screens, but is her appearance taking us back to simpler times? In this Christmas movie, Netflix attempts to come for Hallmark's neck. Bringing about some very important questions like... How many tropes is too many tropes? Is it possible to hold yourself hostage? What do you get when you cross a big city girl and an heiress? And most importantly, are outtakes finally making a triumphant comeback? All this and more on this week's episode of Disney Deviants.
***This episode contains our upcoming Christmas lineup. Thank you so much for all the wonderful suggestions***
This week, we took a deep dive into a newer DCOM that somehow still feels nostalgic? In How To Build A Better Boy, Gabby and Mae take on a challenge that is almost Pixel Perfect. However, as this experiment comes crumpling around them, we find ourselves asking important questions like 1. When will The Iconic China Anne McClain grace our screens again? 2. How many military men does it take to arrest 2 teenagers? 3. Is that REALLY the perect boy? 4. Will we actually answer any of these questions in the episode
This week, we watched Rip Girls. In this classic(?) Disney takes a deep dive into grief...or surfing...or land ownership...or romance...or betrayal...or all of the above?
