S10 | E1: A Woman's Place c.1963 | Book Club for Troublesome Women | p.1-50

It's 1963, and Margaret — the perfect housewife — has decided she wants more. Step one: start a book club. Step two: dust off her essay writing. And with the influence of her bold new friend Charlotte, the club lands on a controversial first read: The Feminine Mystique. Suddenly, a group of suburban housewives are questioning their role in the world. In this episode we dive into gender roles in the 1960s vs. today, whether a woman's time was ever truly her own, feminism, and the quiet suffocation of a life that looks perfect on the outside — for both men and women.

Twilight: Book vs. Movie with Once Upon a Hot Take

We called in backup for this one. My Best Friend's Book Club joined forces with the Once Upon a Hot Take podcast to cover the cultural reset that is Twilight (book one). Best scenes that live rent free in our heads, worst scenes, what the movie did well, and of course, the hot takes we've been holding onto since 2008. Whether you were Team Edward, Team Jacob, or now Team Charlie — this book vs. movie breakdown is for you.   _______________________ We read books so you don't have to — but you can.

BONUS: Wuthering Heights, Book vs. Movie

Emerald Fennell didn't set out to make a faithful adaptation of Wuthering Heights — she set out to recreate how the book felt to her at fourteen years old. This week on My Best Friend's Book Club, we're doing a book vs. movie breakdown: the key differences, the color theory (there is so much red), our favorite scenes, and the uncomfortable truth that perhaps Heathcliff and Catherine are both, actually, the villain. Toxic love has never looked this cinematic — and we have thoughts.

Carter's credibility is unraveling, Birdy meets Carter's wife Jane, and Harrison is starting to lose his grip on reality — or is he? Someone is lying on the record, and the walls are closing in on everyone. Dead or alive, Eden Fox is everywhere — and nobody in this small town mystery can agree on what they actually saw. Gabriella is whispering "run rabbit, run" from her hospital bed, and that unidentified body? We finally get news on the DNA. My Best Friend's Book Club's psychological thriller recap just got a whole lot darker.
