🤦‍♀️ @superlindz.bsky.social couldn't help herself. And we love her for it. Our latest episode covering Joe Hill's The Black Phone dropped yesterday. Go listen to it, or literally any of our episodes, for an abundance of personality from all our hosts! 🎙️ #books #booksky #podcast #filmsky #dadjokes

🎉Happy birthday @markhamillofficial.bsky.social! The rise in stories that tell the villain's perspective have gone a long way towards changing the narrative of bad guys, but we don't think they're necessary all the time. We cover The Long Walk this week. Go listen now! #filmsky #booksky #movies

🚶‍♂️3 mph doesn't seem that fast but can you keep up with people dropping like flies all around you? Or on an incline? What if you need to use the bathroom? 🧻 The Long Walk seems easy at the surface but the more you think about it the more disturbing it becomes. 💙📚 #filmsky #movies #stephenking

The Long Walk starts quickly & you either keep up or you get your ticket. We think this style of storytelling really added to the experience. It definitely kept us on our toes. The last episode of our Stephen King month is available now! 💙📚🎬🎥 #movies #thelongwalk #horror #dystopia #nowstreaming

🚶‍♂️🚶💀Tomorrow The Long Walk wraps up our month of Stephen King adaptations. We reflect on the books, the movies, what's coming next, & what we've learned about The King and the screenwriters he's trusted with his creations. 💙📚🎬🎥 Go set your notifications now because you don't want to miss this one! 🔔

I need a Tylenol after listening to him drone on.

🙈 All three hosts share their thoughts on this eerie short story—from creepy cursed objects to unsettling family dynamics. Check out our reviews and let us know what you thought of this one! 👀 💙📚🩸

We're so fucked.

Today the cult leaders will claim to have figured out the cause of autism, and it'll be acetaminophen (Tylenol). Here's an enormous study on this very correlation with stringent methodology and a sample size of 2.4 million children. TL;DR - There's no link jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

I will continue to scream this until actual factual science proves me wrong: Autism is not something you catch, it’s something you’re born with. It is in the same group as dyslexia & Tourette’s & many others. This administration is dangerously uneducated. #awareness #education #science #genetics

I’m so glad I read this! Just the right amount of creepy and supernatural to keep me hooked through the whole story! 💙📚🩸🗡️🪐 #booksky #horror #stephenking #unnatural #suspense

✛ want to chip in towards feed hosting and moderation costs? we now have a KoFi but very rarely hit the the monthly goal. 😅 ✛ have more questions for me? leave them below and I'll do my best to answer them here or in the new #booksky FAQ website (coming soon!).

My favorite @stephenking.bsky.social story with no movie (yet) so far is If It Bleeds (review to come tomorrow)! But of the ones with movies- Life of Chuck can’t be beat, and Shawshank is a close second. Happy Birthday, Mr. King!!!! #booksky #filmsky

We don't know who is more creative, Stephen King for all these creepy stories, or Oz Perkins for the incredible unaliving scenes in The Monkey. Either way we have a lot to say about it. Check out our latest episode & let's talk about all the Final Destination-esque moments in this movie! #filmsky

🎬🎥The Monkey had our brains buffering. Who knew a cursed toy would make us think so hard. There's still time for you though! Go read the short story and watch the movie, then join us tomorrow and see if you can help us figure out who turned the key. 💙📚

Wow! Here we go again… MAGA doesn’t do debate or solutions, they do doxxing. The right hides behind “free speech,” but the second someone says something they don’t like, they run to threats, intimidation, and cult tactics. Power through fear. This time it won’t work.

I hosted this episode and cried through the whole thing. @stephenking.bsky.social still has me in my feels. @mikeflanaganfilm.com nailed the movie. Go read it or watch it- then tune in tomorrow and join the conversation. #filmsky #booksky #horror #nothorror

Falling in love with our favorite characters all over again! #filmsky #booksky #charliexcx #wutheringheights #everythingisromantic

I read The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon. And let’s just say Trisha isn’t the only one who wandered off. #booksky #stephenking #bookreview #hiking #baseball

This trend always makes me tear up! #womanhood

🍿🎬 We struggled finding reasons to like the movie of My Oxford Year. Although we try to be polite & we know there’s someone out there that loved this, it’s a hard pass from the three of us. 🎥 💙📚 We all agreed, however, you should read the book!

💕There is nothing we love more than a book that makes us feel something. My Oxford Year broke our hearts then mended them, leaving us forever in love with author Julia Whelan. 📚💙🎧 Listen to our newest episode and tell us, did this story grip you, too??? ⬇️

Another great conversation about what works and what doesn’t in adapting books to screen! 💙📚🎬🎥

🎢 If emotional ups and downs are your thing, we’ve got you covered! My Oxford Year had us feeling all the feelings! 💙📚⏰ Join us tomorrow while we discuss the book & the movie with all the parts that made us laugh, cry, gasp, & yell at the screen. 💬🎬🎥

AMERICA: “It’s a mental health issue.” REST OF THE WORLD: “We have those. But don’t have mass shootings.” AMERICA: “It’s video games.” WORLD: “We have those too. But don’t have mass shootings.” AMERICA B: “It’s cause they took Jesus out of the classroom.” WORLD: “God, you’re stupid.”

This is so upsetting. We work hard to make good content & their AI keeps flagging our stuff. We’re still waiting on appeals from July, too, so that process has some significant flaws. If you follow us there maybe make sure you follow us other places for your fix of chaos and reviews. 💙📚⏰🎬🎥
