  • Summary

  • Hello there! We are your hosts, Laura Marie and Jessica Marie and this is A Court of Fandoms and Exploration: A Podcast. Every Monday, we discuss the epic highs and lows of YA literature, fantasy/sci-fi, and the tv shows (old and new) that made us the slightly-damaged young millennials we are today. Experience the life-altering realizations and unresolved trauma that only YA and sci-fi/fantasy can soothe as we explore the worlds of Sarah J. Maas in Prythian, Crescent City, and Erilea, and head over to Sunnydale, Elfhame and more! Thank you for listening to us!

    201. Roswell '99: "Men don't yearn anymore."
    Apr 28 2025
    Acofae Podcast Presents: Roswell '99: "Men don't yearn anymore." Surprising probably no one, Laura Marie is the catalyst behind covering the 1999 WB hit Roswell. While watching her comfort show, Laura Marie was struck with the feeling that Jessica Marie needed to see these aliens yearn. And yearn they do. A classically teen high school drama with big feelings and science fiction, Laura Marie watched this when it was on air and has a lot to say about it. Jessica Marie is kicking her feet giggling as we learn where the aliens came from (up north) and we learn exactly who is in this stellar 90's cast- you'll be surprised. A show with an unskippable intro, star trek alumni, and chemistry that is off the charts, Roswell is a top tier cult classic was relevant then and still is now.

Good episode / cast / whatever it's called :)

Really just wanted to throw my five stars up there. But, they hit on a number of things that were funny in retrospect, and it was easy to tell they had a good time making this one.

Exactly what I was looking for!

If you love empowered women (both literary and IRL) intellectual conversations about tropes found within iconic young adult fantasy books/ cult classic movies and much more, you've come to the right place!

Authentic and relatable
