Don’t Hoe Too Close To The Sun (Movie Recap, Along For The Ride)
Don’t Hoe Too Close To The Sun (Movie Recap, Along For The Ride)
In this episode, we recap the wholesome movie Along for The Ride. This pick is undoubtedly Courtney's effort's to cleanse our palette after the smut filled Neon Gods book she made Rose read. Quite the opposite, this episode's story is about a young girl who wants to try being someone new while on summer break. Her bar for 'wild' is pretty low, so she is careful to NOT hoe too close to the sun. Still, this was a fun and light palette cleanser for us.

A Dungeon But For Fun Stuff (Book Recap, Neon Gods)
Move over fifty shades of grey, in this episode we recap the novel Neon Gods by Katee Roberts. A modern day retelling of the Hades and Persephone myth, this book features a sex dungeon auditorium and also some blink-and-you-might-miss-it plot lines. We had too much fun lovingly dragging this book, which we both enjoyed. Go check it out, just make sure if you're listening to the audio book that it doesn't unplug in the middle of the grocery store.

Gossip, Lies, and Maybe Murder (Movie Recap, Easy A)
In this episode we recap the 2010 romantic comedy Easy A starring Emma Stone and Penn Badgley. Our highschool do-gooder, Olive Penderghast, tells one little white lie that explodes into salacious rumors, leaving her with no choice but to embrace (and monetize) her newfound fame as a hoe. A fake hoe, that is. Things get out of control, because plot reasons. Penn Badgley is also there with his murderous eyes. He’s hot. We stan. Come join our hilarity.

The Girl With The Face Tattoo (Movie Recap, Beastly)
The Girl With The Face Tattoo (Movie Recap, Beastly)
Hear us out here. The year was 2011…Twilight mania was sweeping the nation–nay, the world. The best recipe for a hit movie at the time seemed to be an average teenage girl who unwittingly falls for a supernatural, but hot, tormented, and hot, appropriately aged, but also hot, boy who takes perplexing interest in her, and saves her life (while being hot). BEASTLY, starring Vanessa Hudgeons and Alex Pettyfer, tried to tap into this magic with this retelling of the classic Beauty and the Beast.

Perhaps Some Therapy Is In Order (Movie recap, Gone Girl)
Perhaps Some Therapy Is In Order (Movie recap, Gone Girl)
In this episode Rose and Courtney take a dive into the movie adaptation of the popular thriller Gone Girl, starring Ben Afflect and Rosamund Pike. When a generic white man’s much hotter wife goes missing, he is thrown into a media circus that dissects his movements, reactions, and mistakes. Let’s be real, the husband most probably did it. But when the villain is revealed, there’s no surprise that Courtney shares their love for calendars, planning, and probably binders.   Follow us on Tiktok @fictionFixation Visit our Website at fictionfixation.com ___________ Fiction fixation is a commentary podcast perfectly suited for lovers of fiction.

B+ Customer Service, A+ Creepiness (Audiobook recap, Call Me Maybe)
This audiobook experience is a new one. Call Me Maybe features a whole audiobook cast of voice actors, complete with sound effects and real life happening in the background. Rose begins to question Courtney’s true colors after this suggestion. This customer service call sparks a whirlwind romance between our our main characters. It's sweet, it's wholesome… It’s also a touch creepy. Courtney maintains she is NOT the marshmallow Rose now believes her to be. Rose is now convinced Courtney might actually have a soul.  Follow us on Tiktok @fictionFixation Visit our Website at fictionfixation.com   Fiction fixation is a commentary comedy podcast perfectly suited for lovers of fiction.

Hot People Problems (Movie Recap, The Hating Game)
In this episode we recap the movie adaptation of Sally Thorne's bestselling novel The Hating Game, staring Lucy Hale and Austin Stowell. Take two drop-dead gorgeous people and put them in an office. Make sure their desks face each other, oh and make sure they have to compete for a promotion. What could go wrong? We have some very important epiphanies about society's treatment of beautiful people. We also give our nominations for the Nobel peace prize. We discovered a new type of energy conductor. If that sounds much too cultured for Fiction Fixation. You're right. So be sure to listen in to get the full context (and laughs).

The No Red Flags IS The Red Flag (Movie Recap, Love, Guaranteed)
In this episode we recap the Netflix movie Love, Guaranteed starring Rachel Leigh Cook and Damon Wayans Jr. A handsome guy wants to sue a dating site for failing to provide the guarantee love after one THOUSAND dates. Sir, that is statistically impossible. But sure. Enter, cute petite Lawyer Chick. What could go wrong?!! Banter is aiight. The chemistry? Ummm...well, there is none. But the opportunities for laughs were plentiful (at least for the purposes of our recap). This movie got into our heads a little, and we barely agreed on anything! Courtney chooses a hill to die on and Rose swears to never visit her on that hill. What follows might haunt you forever!!!

Apocalyptic Booty Call (Movie Recap, Love and Monsters)
In this episode we recap the 2020 movie Love and Monsters staring Dylan O'Brien and Jessica Henwick. This one is a hoot. If you don't know, Courtney has a binder where she keeps tabs for every possible tragic scenario she can encounter. This particular type of apocalypse, however, did not make the binder. This movie was slapstick fun adventure with a thirsty main protagonist who may or may not get the girl at the end.

You Can’t Fill The Holes (Movie Recap, Coyote Ugly)
You don’t get more early 2000s than the 2000 movie Coyote Ugly. There’s a small town girl with big dreams and a dude with an Australian accent and a backstory we never learn. But it’s okay because the less we know, the fewer red flags to distract us from how hot he is. Cluelessness is important for happiness, science has confirmed. What used to be Courtney’s favorite childhood movie is now, decades later, picked apart by Rose.  Follow us on Tiktok @fictionFixation Visit our Website at fictionfixation.com Fiction fixation is a commentary podcast perfectly suited for lovers of fiction.

But Jack Could’ve Totally Fit (Movie Recap, Titanic)
In this Episode we recap the infamous 1997 film Titanic. Gen Z could never understand what we went through seeing this film with our parents in our formative years. The tears, the  sweaty palms, THE Leonardo DiCaprio of it all. It's insta-love in the most epic, enduring way ever. We couldn't possibly laugh at this tragic love story, could we? Psssst. Just ask Courtney and the rant that may have bought her one way ticket to the bad place.    Follow us on Tiktok @fictionFixation Visit our Website at fictionfixation.com Fiction fixation is a commentary podcast perfectly suited for lovers of fiction.

In this episode we recap the 2007 movie The Ugly Truth starring Katherine Heigl and Gerard Butler. We muse about the delightfully cliches of rom coms. Rose gets roasted by Courtney via a binder of doom. And as usual we find ourselves on opposite sides of the snack cart. This episode is full of chuckles and puns. Hope you enjoy!

A Man Bun and an Accent (Movie Recap, 10 Things I Hate About You)
In this episode we recap the 90’s classic 10 Things I Hate About You, starring Julia Stiles and the late and great Heath Ledger. Courtney is once again educating us on phrases we will never utter a) with a straight face and b) in public, like ever. The real villain of the episode ends up being very close to Courtney’s heart–or rather–her chest! Don’t fight it, just roll with it. Rose finally gets the opportunity to recite the lines that have been living rent free in her brain since 1999.  Follow us on Tiktok @fictionFixation Visit our Website at fictionfixation.com Fiction fixation is a commentary comedy podcast perfectly suited for lovers of fiction.

Mafia Do’s and Dont’s (Movie recap, 365 Days)
In this episode we recap the Netflix movie 365 Days, based on a Novel by the same name. We will tell you right up front, this one is filled with F-Bombs. Listen, it's a mafia romance and we apparently got too into character. With this oh so spicy movie, we have, at last, found a Red Flag Courtney isn't into. Don't worry, her aversion to our hero doesn't last long. Even Rose has trouble saying to to this fictional man and his plethora of Red Flags.

Courtney reveals her connection to the stars of the movie (and perhaps her *alleged* first kiss?). Join us for some hilarity as we unravel the insane dystopian world that honestly feels strangely familiar (is this really a news broadcast?).  ___ Follow us on Tiktok @fictionFixation Visit our Website at fictionfixation.com Fiction fixation is a commentary podcast perfectly suited for lovers of fiction.
