For this episode, Carrie and Jake barely scratch the surface of Tracy Deonn's debut novel 'Legendborn'. What a book!

'Legendborn' by Tracy Deonn

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 of that. Also we definitely describe the plot in some detail. Spoilers ahoy!

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.

Living In A Van Down By The Riverdale

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! If you have any comments or suggestions, tweet to us at https://twitter.com/loveYApod, or email us at podcast at loveYAlikecrazy.com.

Sabrina Chapter 7: Feast of Feasts

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!

'Darius the Great Deserves Better' by Adib Khorrom

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 fuller discussion can be found in various places online, such as in this article on Polygon.

The Midnight Ride of Paul Riveredale

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.

Sabrina Chapter 6: An Exorcism in Greendale

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 excerpts from the 'Darius the Great is Not OK' audiobook, narrated by Michael Levi Harris. The episode ends with a recording of 'The Lion Song' by Jake's cousin David, who recently died of COVID-19. You can hear a few of David's songs on Jake's soundcloud.

'Darius the Great is Not Okay' by Adib Khorram

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 far-off yesteryear of ten and a half weeks ago, when, uh ... Ah, hell, everything still sucked, didn't it? Never mind. But the book has a lot of things to talk about, and we hope you enjoy the discussion! As always, the episode contains a lot of spoilers, so you may wish to read the book first, if you prefer to remain unspoiled.

'A Song Below Water' by Bethany C. Morrow

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 discuss Riverdale Chapter 5: Heart of Darkness. Jake often worries that he goes overboard in adding audio clips to these things, so he just wants you to know that he came this → ← close to putting a little Weird Al into this episode, before listening to the better angels of his nature and deciding against it.

Sabrina Chapter 5: Dreams in a Witch House

Both this episode of Riverdale and our commentary on it are totally bonkers. In this episode, Jake gets political, Carrie reveals a guilty secret, we discover what search engine the Riverdale gang uses, we give advice on how to use diaries, and Jake is mocked ᚠᚩᚱ ᚱᛁᛏᛁᛝ ᛁᛅ ᚱᚢᛅᛁᚲ ᛁᛅ ᚻᛁ ᛋᚲᚩᚩᛚ. We also comment on some severely problematic stuff in this episode, and are sad about how it ends. Basically, our commentary on this episode is longer than the episode itself.

Chip & Riverdale

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!
