Hey HBs! Mel's here with gueesstttssss! BFFs of Mel and the pod Jenny Nordbak and Katee Robert (of Bonkers Romance) are here to recap the movie Challengers, starring the one and only Zendaya. Jenny and Mel had no idea what they were in for and BOY did this romantic psychological thriller deliver. It's so sexy! And messy! And mean! And baffling! And we loved it.
Just a quick note: Mel had some ridiculous audio and recording issues, so (even with a lot of intervention) the sound quality isn't up to our usual standards, but she worked hard to make the best of it and get you this excellent episode!
We're at the tail end of Bonkers' 2024 Kickstarter THE BLACK ROSE AUCTION, so don't miss it! They've curated 6 incredibly sexy fairytale retellings centered on an illicit auction with special edition books, swag, and so much more! The campaign ends on June 26th, 2024 at 5pm PST!
Lady Loves:
Jenny: Karen Marie Moning's upcoming release THE HOUSE ON WATCH HILL!
Katee: the horror romance THEN EARTH SWALLOWED OCEAN by Shiloh Sloane. Check the CWs because it's DARK and TWISTY and WTF!
Mel: The Ultimatum South Africa on Netflix and the Black Rose Auction! Seriously, go back the Kickstarter before it's too late!

| 0:15.0 | See, that's so interesting. |
| 0:17.0 | Because I've been pitching it as this movie is basically Wicked Beauty |
| 0:22.0 | if Helen had married patrol class and like after |
| 0:27.4 | fucking Achilles and then it got messy. Yeah. But I also am firmly Tashi and Patrick did nothing wrong and you can't convince me otherwise, |

| 0:57.0 | Why have I watched this movie? I hate it. I hate it. I hate it. And then the last thing happens and it completely changed my understanding of the entire |

| 1:09.2 | I also have seen it pitched as two boys who love each other and a girl who loves tennis which is also accurate. |
| 1:14.8 | Oh, that's accurate. |
