The Fangirl Diaries

"Giles has a TV! He's shallow - like us!" Season 4 is ready for a deep-dive and the Scooby Gang have started at UC Sunnydale! Riley is on the scene, Spike's back and Giles is...well, still fired. We chat about The Initiative, Hush, and the introduction of Tara as our Buffy obsession continues...

Buffy and the Scooby Gang get ready to graduate in Season 3 of the 1999 hit show. We re-cap the season and run through our favourite fights, the best couples, the most shocking moments (Faith and Xander, anyone!?) and try to contain our excitement that Spike is BACK (yes, yes, and Angel...)

"There you are. I've been looking for you." It's....ACOTAR! And we're coming at this from a slightly different angle this week. One the one hand, we have Alicia, the mega-fan, future wife of Rhysand and Sarah J Maas devotee. On the other, we have Maddie who has...let's just say...mixed opinions about all things Prythian. We talk Tamlin, Amarantha, TV adaptations and try to ensure Maddie gets on the bandwagon for Mist and Fury!

You jump, I jump, remember? And remember we do! Today's podcast topic is James Cameron's 1997 'Titanic'. THE masochistic sleepover movie for all of us in the late 90s. Coming up to 30 years since its release, we recap The Hand Print, iconic red-heads, and debate how there was ENOUGH ROOM ON THAT DOOR FOR TWO!!

In every generation there is a chosen one. She alone will stand against the vampires, the demons...she is the SLAYER! Was there ever a cooler show?! Not if you were a kid in the 90s and a teen in the 00s. Buffy is too iconic for us to possibly cover all seven seasons in 1 episode so this is the first of our Buffy specials...covering S1/S2 which gave us The Master, Ms Calendar, Cordi, and DRU!!!! *Spoilers throughout*

"You GO Glen Coco!!" Excuse us but who hasn't seen this movie? Anyone?! Mean Girls (2004) is THE satirical teen comedy and it hasn't been bettered in 20 (yes that's 20!) years.... We just have alot of feeeelings about The Plastics, Gretchen Wieners, Kevin G and The North Shore Winter Talent Show in everyone's second-favourite Lindsay Lohan vehicle. "She's doesn't even go here...."

We're back! And here to kick off Season Two with a deep-dive in to the Denis Villeneuve films from the Dune franchise. If you've not seem them (what are you doing?!?) Please note there are spoilers as we discuss Timothée Chalamet in a cloak, Jason Momoa on fine fighting form and Florence Pugh slaying in every outfit they put her in....

It's our Season Finale! And what better way to mark the end of the first season of The Fangirl Diaries than by talking for 90 minutes about the most EPIC move of all time - The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. Join us, Merry, Pippin, Aragorn, Gandalf, Frodo, Sam and the whole gang in the epic conclusion to Peter Jackson's trilogy. Is this the greatest movie of all time? If you judge by how often Maddie cries, then yes. Yes it is.

It's HERE. The eyeliner, the fingerless gloves and studded belts: it's Emo. If you remember 2005/6, take a trip back with us as we revisit 30 Seconds to Mars, My Chemical Romance, Paramore, Fall out Boy and the era of the ever-so-popular side fringe...

It's Christmas! At the most wonderful time of the year Maddie and Alicia reminisce over Christmukkah, Doctor Who Christmas Specials and the greatest Christmas movie of all time - Love Actually! Sit back, relax and join us with a cosy cup of coffee this Christmas Day.

DURRRN dun dun dun dun durrrrn. In sleep he sang to me (us), in dreams he... erm, anywaaay. Yes, we're chatting about our 2004 obsession with Andrew Lloyd Webber's The Phantom of the Opera, featuring the world's most famous lighting equipment, Emmy Rossum's glances and Gerard Butler's iconic cloak swish!

Grab a cup of coffee and your crossbow as Maddie and Alicia review their favourite Fantasy Action heroines and return to where it all began: The 1990s over at Disney! Up for discussion are Mulan, Buffy, Lara Croft, Sansa Stark, Bella Swan, Violet Sorrengail and Katniss Everdeen to name a few…!

"How long have you been seventeen...?" Oh GOD. It's here. Sit down, strap in, and get a glass of wine because Maddie and Alicia are revisiting their unconditional, irrevocable love for Forks. Yes, it's Stephanie Meyer's Twilight!!

This episode is brought to you by bubble! Join Maddie and Alicia on a journey to the Emerald City as they revisit the 2003 Broadway smash musical WICKED.
