The reboots we didn’t ask for, Hannah Montana’s nostalgic trip, and the world’s first major AI book scandal.

Reminder, you can watch this episode on YouTube.

In chit chat, Jas opens up about her week, including the media preview of KICStudio in Melbourne. In some popcorn culture news, we discuss the 13 Going On 30 reboot announcement, Strangers by Belle Burden is getting a film adaptation, You, Me & Tuscany is finally giving us an original rom-com, as well as our thoughts on the HBO Harry Potter trailer. Meanwhile, the 20th anniversary of Hannah Montana aired on Disney+ this week and is breaking records. Nostalgia is still thriving.

The largest AI book scandal has rocked the publishing world recently. After allegations of heavy AI use, Hachette has withdrawn Shy Girl by Mia Ballad from shelves in the UK and has not been released in the US. We reference the YouTuber who helped uncover this scandal, Frankie's Shelf, and read from Facing Facts by Zowie Douglas-Kinghorn for Kill Your Darlings.

In Bookmarked, Jas recommends video essays by Girl On Film, Rachel Barker, particularly Why Women Love Labyrinth Movies. Maggie is still on her horror reading grind and recommends Root Rot by Saskia Nislow.

Thank you for listening! Jas and Mags xo
