Fictionally Unstable Podcast

Today on Fictionally Unstable, we FINALLY get into the infamous Alchemised by SenLinYu. However, at a 1030 page count, we're taking it one part at a time.

Today on Fictionally Unstable, we chat about the full revealed cast of Dancing with the Stars Season 35! Although we're dancers ourselves, ballroom reality TV is not something we're as well-versed in. So let us know who's worth tuning in for and who you're voting for to win the Mirror Ball Trophy!

Today on Fictionally Unstable, we review the newest, talked-about Prime Video original series: Sterling Point. This coming-of-age drama, created by Megan Park, has the internet going crazy over a certain closet scene...but us 30-somethings are just left going "oh, that was cute" and nothing more.

Today on Fictionally Unstable, we review the newest survival, thriller on Netflix: Apex. Starring Charlize Theron and Taron Egerton, we endure all 1h 35m of this twisted camping trip so you don't have to (if you don't want to). Our biggest takeaways: always beware the "nice guy", leisurely activities that risk your life are totally optional, and you can't trust everyone to give you good movie recommendations.

Let us know your thoughts on this thriller!

Today on Fictionally Unstable, we recap episodes 5 & 6 of Euphoria Season 3. So far we've been given Cassie-zilla, Whack-a-Mole Rue, and yet another Nate a** whooping. Our highest of hopes is that this entire season was all just Rue's substance-induced coma dream and she's gonna wake up any minute now. But either way, you got two more weeks to WRAP IT UP, Sam Levinson.

Today on Fictionally Unstable, we jump into the biggest fantasy we've chatted about yet: Imperfect Women.

Today on Fictionally Unstable, we EVENTUALLY chat about the latest romcom: You, Me & Tuscany. Shortly after we chat about literally every single childhood TV show we can recall, of course. Are real romcoms back? Or was this just a Hallmark movie that somehow got a theater release? Also, who's your favorite Disney princess? Not relevant, but just wondering!

Let us know if this messy, cheesy romance gave you 2000s-2010s romcom nostalgia, or if it was just one too many 'climbing under a bush while serenading your man' scenes for your liking.

Today on Fictionally Unstable, we're recapping whatever we just watched in Euphoria Season 3's first two episodes. We chat about where the characters are 5 years later, the continuing questionable choices they've made, and ponder why there's doo-doo on our screen every 10 minutes... We'll be recapping two episodes every other week so tune in and let us know your predictions for how this hot mess will finally come to an end!

Today on Fictionally Unstable we're chatting about the Duffer Brothers latest release since Stranger Things: Something Very Bad is Going to Happen. This Netflix limited series is labeled as "horror fiction" but honestly we would've loved scarier, where's Mike Flanagan when we need him. Let us know your thoughts on this twisted supernatural series and if you'd be tuning in for a Season 2!

Today on Fictionally Unstable, we give you our thoughts on the dark romance that BookTok is obsessed with: Lights Out by Navessa Allen. Our conclusion after, especially after the worst epilogue known to man - y'all need therapy.

If you've read the sequels to this series, let us know your thoughts and which book you liked better!

And be sure to to leave us some recommendations of twisted romances that are nothing like this one!

Today on Fictionally Unstable, we sat through the newest A24 film The Drama starring Zendaya and Robert Pattinson. And honestly we give the actors an A+, for making Charlie the biggest lil b*tch we've ever endured and Rachel public enemy #1. Chime in on this conversation-sparking test of a movie, but be careful. We listen, and we DO judge.

Today on Fictionally Unstable, we're chatting about the star-powered animation, The Super Mario Galaxy Movie! Our expectations were definitely met, with vivid animations and comedic dialogue from all our favorite characters. And to the harsh critics we can only say...IT'S LITERALLY A KID'S MOVIE :)

Today on Fictionally Unstable, we review the latest Shudder film release, Forbidden Fruits. If stupid humor is your prerogative then we highly recommend giving this a watch! However, while this formidable female cast definitely carried the movie, we'd still say you can wait to stream it at home. Be sure to let us know how you'd rate it, babe!

Today on Fictionally Unstable, we review the Ready or Not sequel - Ready or Not 2: Here I Come, starring Samara Weaving and Kathryn Newton. The final word to describe this movie: Stupid. But the good kind of stupid!

Let us know how you feel this sequel stacked up to its original!

Today on Fictionally Unstable, we're coming to you fresh out the movie theater! We watched the newest 2 hour and 36 minute film adaptation of Andy Weir's Syfy novel, starring Ryan Gosling. Great acting, great comedy, all around a great time (if you stay awake unlike Maciel). Let us know your thoughts on the movie and if you've read the book, how it stacks up!

Today on Fictionally Unstable, we review the not-so-new series, Watching You. This Australian erotic-drama left us with only one conclusion: DON'T BE A CHEATER. Period.

Let us know if you've watching this limited series and give us suggestions of similar series! We love a good drama.

Today on Fictionally Unstable, we review the latest Colleen Hoover book-to-movie adaptation: Reminders of Him, that just released in theaters March 13th. We walked in with expectations of sobbing tears, searing chemistry, and dialogue that would rip our hearts out...we were mistaken. But that's on us for getting our hopes too high for a Hoover story. Let us know if you've read the book and how it compares to the movie for you!

Today on Fictionally Unstable, we review Netflix's newest book to series adaptation: Vladimir, starring Rachel Weisz and Leo Woodall. A quick 8 episode, 25 minutes each, watch that left us so bored we quickly turned to The New York Times' daily Wordle to fill the void. If you've read the novel by Julia May Jonas, let us know if you prefer it over the series!

Dearest Gentle Listeners,

Part 2 of Bridgerton Season 4 has descended upon the Ton and we regret to inform you that our composure did not survive.

Fan scandals? Thriving.

Emotional stability? Ruined.

Carriage scenes? Discussed at length.

Join us as we gasp, scream, and clutch our metaphorical pearls and investigate who fell in love, who fell apart, and who desperately needs to be sent to emotional finishing school.

Yours Truly,

The Ladies of Fictionally Unstable

To quote Ms. Keke herself, "I hate to say it, I hope I don't sound ridiculous, I don't know who this man is. Sorry to this man." Today on Fictionally Unstable, we're left with complete memory loss as we recall zero details, characters, or memorable scenes of the newest Peacock series, The Burbs. We were influenced to give it a watch after our trip to Universal Studios, but we won't be so easily influenced again after this one. I guess it just wasn't for us...sorry!
