ACOFAE Podcast Presents: Dracula: "Dracula is so girly pop!"

How does ACOFAE get Jessica Marie to watch a horror film? Tell her that is has Gary Oldman and Keanu Reeves in it will do the trick! ACOFAE is covering Dracula a couple different ways: Francis Ford Coppola's 1992 classic film AND the 1897 novel itself. Did you know Dracula begins in May? Jonathan Harker is on his way to Transylvania and his life is about to change in unexpected ways. Mina, his fiancé, and her best friend, Lucy, are in England and wait for Jonathan's return. What Dracula is and what he does becomes the stuff of legend and it all begins here. Laura Marie has read the book, Jessica Marie has watched the movie and together a discussion emerges about morality, purity, and how the addition of a love story changes the view of Dracula from villain to..something else.

"Good for Lucy."

ACOFAE Podcast Presents: Women and Media Vol. 1.

Since February 2026 in particular, Jessica Marie has been fired up to talk about the treatment of women in media and ACOFAE has not had the right moment for this discussion. The time is now. Laura Marie and Jessica Marie are discussing the relationship between women and media using the 2026 movie adaptation "Wuthering Heights" as a framework. The art of film is discussed as well as tangent conversations spanning economics, fandoms, fangirls, and of course a brief touch on Taylor Swift. ACOFAE calls this VOL 1 because the conversation is ongoing and they are sure that VOL 2. will happen very soon.
