I loved this title.
This was made for me, I think.
It was so good. It's so fun.
I loved it. It was a lot of fun.
I was a big fan. And it was written actually by four authors.
Kimberly Bell, Lane Fargo, Kate Hollihan, and Vanessa Lilly.
And each of them wrote for a different character.
This blew my mind. Isn't that cool?
I did not know that.
Isn't that amazing?
That is very cool. cool and then you now that I'm thinking about it you could actually pick up on it they're so distinct yes the characters but it's interesting though because the tone of the whole book overall is like very so cohesive and cohesive yeah that's the thing you because I can't imagine writing with three other people like that must I have no idea how these women did this and did it so well bravo because honestly it sounds so it sounds like such a task to undertake because you all have to be on the same page right you all have to be open to feedback to judging together it needs to come
out cohesive and like it was written in one you know like i wonder if they like lock themselves in a room or like a house kind of for a few months and then yeah they kind of wrote together it was yeah yeah first of all they wrote this i think they said in 12 weeks right that wow my brain does not wrap around that fact and now i'm like kicking myself being like write bitch write a book in 12 weeks what are you doing i know well instead instead of locking themselves in a house they had zoom meetings where so they would all like write their character kim wrote camille lane wrote meredith kate wrote
justine and vanessa wrote crystal and then obviously like as you're listening there's pieces where like camille will say something in meredith's voice so they would give each other feedback and be like my character oh my character would say it it this way yeah that way so they had to like lock themselves in these zoom meetings i think they said they had like hours long zoom meetings and they just kind of like got everything perfect and like in the right voices i i love that i that's like the ultimate collaboration it really is and they nailed it yeah that's the thing like this could have gone
wayward oh yeah group projects this could have gone into a different galaxy 100 whoa ladies but this I'm like whoa ladies like this is so good it's a good sickness yeah I wish you guys could see her face she went from like this angry scowl like oh ladies to all of a sudden like whoa ladies like so excited yes and that's how I describe this is whoa two thumbs up four thumbs up yeah Yeah, there you go.
And if you're listening or if you already have listened, you also know how incredible the voice actresses are.
And the voices are so perfect for each character.
They're what you picture when you like it's just like it makes sense.
Oh, 100 percent. I have their like I have them imaged out in my mind completely.
Crystal is my favorite.
I'm obsessed with her.
She's my favorite character, but also my favorite voice.
The voice was amazing.
She's so good. Like this Italian mobster woman.
just like like straight shooter yes i love her good she is performed by dina pearlman uh carissa vacker performs camille ariel blake performs justine and helen laser performs meredith so were you guys favorites of crystal or did you have a different favorite i really liked camille i thought camille was cool yeah i thought she was like when i first started listening to him like like i don't think i like her character so much but i just found her to be so warm as the book went on and she's smart and she she's like unapologetic about who she was the choices that she made but she was also very kind
i feel like she grew a lot throughout the book because in the in the beginning i was like oh exactly exactly then toward the end i was like you get it like This experience made you kind of flourish a little bit.
That's kind of how I felt.
Crystal was just hilarious and awesome.
I thought all of them were great in their own right.
But it was Camille that I was like, I love her because of her intense flawed way about her.
You know what I mean?
Her flaws and how she kind of overcomes some of them and works through some of them and is unapologetic for some of them.
I was like, I love that.
That's a character.
yes and i love that she was like a a lady's lady but she was just power to her friends yeah all the way through and she could have been set up as something totally different very much a little other way and she wasn't like that's that was what was cool and even the way that like justine and her were still friends after everything happened and like worked their way through it so damn you know like that's girls being girls right there we love it and justine had moments for me that were really I was like hell yeah Justine because there's one in particular that stands out to me it's when they're talking
I think in the law firm and she says that she stands up when Crystal is talking to her because she says even if she's talking down to her she's going to have to look up and I was like hell yeah Justine literally as I was listening to that I was like Alayna's going to love that it's just got like bad bitch energy yeah 100 % don't mess with me that was a mic drop moment I loved it I love a woman who just is like not afraid to be herself and I feel like none of them are this is just like such a little moment but when Crystal realizes that Christopher Columbus is such an asshole that's just like such
a funny moment for her and she's like damn he sucked when she tries to use it as like a what that's a day and Aiden's like try again even as simple as like her telling everybody that like my son is a like yeah i don't know what language she used but she's like he's stupid yeah he's an idiot and she loved him anyways but she's like he's stupid she's just so real she really is and one of the the other moment i was thinking of with crystal actually is um when meredith and crystal go to find destiny and they're gonna go try to get information from her and they find her at the strip club and meredith
chases her off stage to interrogate her and the crowd is all pissed off and then crystal gets on the stage and everyone starts calling her like oh hey may west like why don't you and she does like a full -on routine and i was like yes just like a lawyer with a side job yeah she knew it was important yeah she saw the end here she's like you go do your thing i will entertain these people Well, I will distract.
We all got to play a part here.
Exactly. It was so good.
Exactly. There's so many moments like that, too, that, like, I feel like maybe we haven't all had, like, that specific moment with our friends.
You haven't? Maybe not that specific one.
Not that one. But it's like, let me cover for you.
Like, I got this. I love that.
But that's what's really special about this friendship.
They all, I mean, apart from that little thing with Crystal and Justine, which they resolved.
Yeah. But, like, I thought it was really nice that they all had each other's backs.
the entire time they were all looking out for each other they were all like worried about okay I'm going Meredith even when she went into the when she went to jail she's like we're not bringing anybody else in here like we're not roping any of these other girls in here right and you could feel that they all had each other's backs the entire time yeah even if it was like reluctant yeah they still would do it yes yes exactly which is so real too like sometimes you're like I love love you so much and like i really don't want to do this for you but i will you're like what the fuck man yeah exactly
why are you making this choice okay let's we'll discuss after i save your butt yeah it's the it's like the town whose car we taken whose car we take like it's just okay whose car we take exactly no show me the details i also feel like the story as a whole had like almost have you guys watched desperate house vibes yes i i still haven't finished it i started it like last year and i'm in like this weird break where i'm like not watching anymore and i need need to pick it up.
Yeah. And this title made me want to start it again.
Oh, yeah, because I feel like it totally has that vibe.
Yeah, I never watched that.
But I've seen like bits and pieces of it.
And it definitely I watched it and watched it and watched it and watched it some more.
Yeah, I watched way too much of that show.
It's so good. And I feel like the dynamic between the lives in Desperate Housewives is very similar to the dynamic here.
Yeah, it's interesting.
Well, so I, I actually thought of Desperate Housewives as well when I was listening to this title.
and i think that i i felt even more of a camaraderie and even more of like a family feel yeah with these women yeah and that's one thing that drew me into the book even more yeah like they really felt like they were family yeah and they're just like badass yeah and that's the thing i love the most is just how capable they were but also all flawed like they are real women that you know that you've known that you've loved that you hated that you've yeah you know like it's nice to see that they aren't portrayed as like they're like boss bitches for sure all of them 100 but they're not the kind that are going
to step on the backs of other women to get where they think they can go by doing that 100 like i don't like reading about the kind of women who tell you like with pride that like oh i don't even know my employees names who gives a shit you know what i mean like they're just like that's the kind of person i am like i don't i don't like those like fuck those kind of people right but i want to know these women more and like i feel like they came out as like so real and they have each other's backs and i'm like i would i want to hang out with you absolutely let's go out like when those letters came
out yes i was like tearing up for meredith yes can you imagine having people in your life that would do this for you that means that you are a fantastic human being even though this is this is a job that you're doing that i wouldn't necessarily have chosen for myself yeah it doesn't matter you're unapologetic about it exactly you are doing it to the best of your abilities with the kindest of intentions yes that's the thing and i love reading about that like that's i was like yes thank you for giving us those kind of like strong powerful women and they were also fucking each other over so so so So different.
So different. And I feel like that's what makes up the friend group.
Because even like in my friend group, like I can point to like who's the Meredith?
Who's the Camille? Who's the this one?
And it makes sense for like, it translates into real life too.
Yeah, definitely. This is like sex in the city all over again.
It really is. It really is.
It's true. For real life.
Yeah. And like a grittier sex in the city.
A little bit. The Rhode Island version.
Yeah, the Rhode Island, the Providence, Rhode Island version.
I was going to say, make it Providence.
Well, that's the thing.
it is gritty because obviously the entire story kicks off with the murder of the mayor of the town like that's pretty intense yeah and you can tell pretty quickly that our widows don't have anything to do with the actual murder itself like they're wrapped up in it wrong place wrong time yeah very much i feel like personally and especially obviously you guys are listening to morbid me and elena i feel like we're pretty good at like predicting who a killer is yeah did you know no that's what i was gonna say usually i do a good job figuring it out but i couldn't like They did a good job with the red
herrings because I'd be like, oh, maybe it's this person.
But then it would completely turn me around.
At what point did you realize who the murderer was?
And we won't spoil who it is.
Oh, we're not? No. Shoot, I was about to.
We won't spoil you.
At what point did I realize who it was?
Probably during that kiss.
That makes sense. During the kiss was when I realized what was happening.
Yeah. They were on my radar, the person who it was, but I was not.
They were not, like, the final in my mind.
Well, and what I like about it is, like, it's very intricate.
You know, like, technically there's a couple killers.
It's a complex web that is weaved.
And it's, like I said, like the red herrings along the way, like, you start to point to one person and then you point to another.
And it's, like, everybody had their piece in it.
Yeah, it's true. 100%.
One thing that can tip you off, though, if you want, because they did a really good job at planting little clues along the way that you don't know or don't think are going to come back.
And then when they come back at the end, you're like, oh, shit.
That's that person.
Like the death threats, the notes that were coming to Mayor Tom.
Yes. There's a specific thing in those death threats that comes back at the end that someone, they're in all the notes, and then somebody says it and towards the end and you're like wait a second and it literally comes down to like one word yep what did you call me that's right it's like and that's like skilled writing oh absolutely skilled thriller mystery writing is to be able to carry that 100 hit the way that this one hit you're like oh shit right because sometimes you're like wait what like you heard that before but they made it enough where you remembered it yeah and it was such a specific thing
that you wouldn't hear it in everyday.
Exactly. Sentences.
Because when we got to the end and that whole little thing happened, I was like, oh, I remember that.
It came back. As far as themes, I feel like we obviously kind of touched on the theme of we see these women come together.
They lift each other up.
I feel like one of the themes obviously is like sisterhood, even through conflict.
And obviously these women are bonded through tragedy if you listen to the first title.
Anything else else you guys thought of theme -wise?
I mean one of the themes that was super important in this story is the fight around Indigenous rights.
Yes. For sure. That's huge.
It's really prevalent in this and like in the real world to be honest to see people being so callous and cold about building over literal sacred land.
Yeah. And people are just offering up and in the title people are just offering up dollar signs to try and buy this land up and then they're getting upset or offended or pissed when the members of the community don't want to just like take the deal to develop over their ancestors bodies it's like uh yeah money money's not gonna make me do that thanks though absolutely thanks for asking yeah thanks so much like wow that was so nice of you and i think they touched upon it really well and i mean the whole damn and it's real because the whole damn providence place mall is built on sacred land like
it's real nuts and in real life and one of the authors Vanessa Lilly is actually an indigenous woman.
Oh, I love that she wrote that in because of it.
And she did such a good job with it, obviously.
And that conversation, the conversation that Aiden and Camille had, like it was so real.
And it comes from like a real place.
Yes. And an informed place because she can speak on it and she partnered with members of the community to make sure that all the information throughout the title was accurate and coming from like a real accurate place which is really cool yeah it makes it really different it's got like a special touch on it yeah it does it adds something to it and like you were saying with the like camille and aiden conversation i even feel like that's more of camille's growth like throughout the book you know that softness came out a lot yeah it really but the fact that she was able to pick up on it i said like
i i said to myself like that speaks speaks mountains to her character that she was able to pick up on it, even though she was like – she came in guns blazing, like, who do I have to kill to get myself free, you know?
And he was soft towards her and she was soft towards him.
I thought that was really special.
Yeah, it's like they brought it out in each other.
Yeah, they're sweet.
Another one of the themes that I thought was amazing was just watching these amazing women, these empowered women stand up for themselves.
selves yes yes big time like no i'm not gonna lay down because you all have money and you guys are throwing your money at this problem these are solid values that we are gonna stand by we're not gonna let you abuse this these people we're not gonna let you abuse us just because you have more money than we do we're not gonna be your scapegoats yeah yeah exactly i loved that it was definitely like you're reading it and you're like yeah this is like a cautionary tale about society society yes absolutely it is sometimes rich people are just wild as fuck yeah you know but i love also that it all takes
place in the 80s i know and it's a fun part of this whole thing it's funny because there's little bits where you're like oh yeah this is the 80s yeah it doesn't feel dated you know no but i forgot that that was the case and when camille goes up to the yacht i was like why didn't she just pull out her phone like what is she doing oh that's why like she's lucky if she has a pager yeah exactly truly but i swear i was thinking to myself like these girls like they're smart but but damn use a cell phone where's your phone they didn't have any quarters with them no they didn't use a pay phone right that the couple
parts with the yacht that it got so intense yeah we're not we won't spoil that but that's a that's a key point yeah wait till you get there what's gonna happen yeah Okay, so let's play a couple little games because, you know, at Morbid, we love a game.
We love a game. I feel like we should take the four characters and, like, almost pretend like we're casting a film and cast each one.
Love that. So let's start with Crystal.
Do you want me to start or do you want to start, Alina?
You can start. Okay.
I feel like I see Crystal as Drea Di Matteo, I think is how you say it, because she gives me Adriana LaServa vibes from The Sopranos.
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
Like the curly hair.
and i could even see her like doing up the accent like she did in supreme i was like christopher i could christopher christopher i could see marissa tome yeah oh yeah i just feel like she's she would be she would crush that i very much see that i think i agree with that yeah yeah i could definitely do that okay how about meredith meredith i think and actually like mikey came up with this one and i think it's i was like yep yep that's it we checked emmy rossum oh from shameless yeah yeah she's because she's got that like scrappy yeah very gritty yeah like yeah she's this like beautiful just like
take no shit girl like i just love her yeah she would be perfect i said gillian jacobs and i was thinking of the same thing like scrappy i don't know if you guys have watched love yep her character i haven't you i feel like you would love it it's she was in community too in community community and she She kind of plays that badass girl who, once you kind of break down the wall, does have that softer side.
Yep, I could very much see that.
I see Jennifer Coolidge.
Oh my god! I would love that.
That would be amazing.
She would be my Meredith.
That would be amazing.
You do a good Jennifer Coolidge.
Now I want to see this movie with Jennifer Coolidge.
Yes, I'm down, guys.
and as a nice segue I see um oh gosh Reese Witherspoon as Camille oh oh now I wish I thought of that that's a good one I agree with that even more than the pick that I made I thought um Anya Taylor Joy and that was my pick too Anya Taylor Joy yeah we agreed on that but now I'm kind of thinking Reese Witherspoon oh gosh I I would kill to see Reese Witherspoon in that yeah i would love to see anya taylor joy too i think she's um she's really good in like the menu and what was it last night in soho yeah last night in soho uh she's good in that kind of like slinky yes like i need to get the information i
need kind of thing or get what i need out of this situation she's really good yeah at that kind of role she's got that like old hollywood kind of face and like beauty about her yeah and simplicity but like so beautiful yeah but also like you were saying like well like has the vibe of we can get shit done oh yeah you know absolutely but yeah Reese Witherspoon is also that's a good one I'm tied now yeah and then what about Justine what did you guys think for Justine I said uh Tessa Thompson she's been in a few things if you look her up I just I don't she just like I could see her yeah she has false
pitch energy I think one of the things I knew her from and I was like why do I know this movie like why did I it's from like like 2012 or something what is it it's murder on the 13th floor i don't know if i've seen that and it's one of those like you know she's a nanny for a family and she's having an affair with the father and the mom is like the wife is like this awful human being and they don't even love each other oh great it's this whole thing and there's like you know a murder happened it's kind of like it's got these vibes of like a murder mystery to it yeah yeah but she's really good and she's
like like, really likable and has, like, a badass edge to her.
But it's, like, a softer badass edge to her.
Okay. Like, a really capable kind of.
Yeah. She just reminds me of it.
I see that. Yeah. I like that.
I could see her. I said Zendaya for, like, pretty much all the same reasons.
Yes. Like, I think of her character in Euphoria.
And, like, she goes through a lot of hard times in Euphoria if you've watched it.
But then you kind of see her character soften toward the ends of the season.
And I feel like that's the same thing for Justine.
Oh, yeah. Yeah, I could see that.
Mine is a little controversial.
That's okay. Meghan Markle.
Meghan Markle! No, I like that actually.
That's an interesting one.
I mean, I just loved her in suits.
And I just feel like she had this hard edge.
She had this soft edge.
She got shit done. Is she a lawyer in suits?
I haven't watched these.
She's a paralegal. So, boom.
She already has the experience.
Yeah, she had that grit to climb.
But also, she was just super soft at times too yeah and I feel like that's a key theme among like all these four women like they're well -rounded yeah they really are like they have all of them have that hard edge but all of them have their moments of softness they're multifaceted like diamonds well I feel like that's just like all women yeah it's womanhood exactly that's girlhood baby yes yes I love that okay now how about a most likely to let's go so most likely to win survivor oh okay I gotta go crystal I got she's so scrappy i would say maybe meredith though yeah meredith was gonna be one of my
meredith i feel like she could get it done she would make the alliances that she needed to make with kindness yeah and then she'd get that like final jury vote i feel like maybe yeah she's got that like that you know will yeah strong will yeah she's like she's a yeah i know that meredith is and think about like all the creeps that she's had to like exactly deal with whereas sometimes ways around situations that's actually such a good point whereas like crystal was like you when you heard the thoughts in her head you could tell that there was a lot of insecurity there like oh is what he's saying
true a lot of doubt yeah there's a lot of self -doubt whereas with meredith i never felt that there was that self -doubt she's like that's what sit down little man that's a really good meredith was one of my first thoughts and the scrappiness of crystal might piss off the other contestants it's true they might they might might just be like see ya yeah yeah that's a really good point yeah all right most likely to be the maid of honor in your wedding you had strong thoughts about this right off the bat not camille you can't why not i love camille we love her growth but she's gonna fuck your husband she
might there's always a possibility that she will sleep with your husband the possibility is never zero this is true but it's never zero even if she's not the maid of honor that's true but i'm not gonna invite her like all up and do you think that maybe it would like deter her from being that person no I don't know Camille strikes me as like matrimony you say like it's just I don't know so I think Crystal maybe because she seems like she's scrappy she's going to get you if shit goes awry during that day she's going to be the one that goes up to your wedding planner and is like listen bitch my girl
needs this right now and you're going to go get it done what about Meredith and Meredith do it kindly I'd rather crystal just for the drama I love the drama I thought crystal at first too for those very reasons but now I'm thinking what about Justine because she is calm cool and collected diplomatic diplomatic yet very diplomatic like she's the one rooting for Nancy which is quite a choice but she looks at all sides of things so she could give you the full picture but did she?
sometime well yeah and at the end she had this moment where she's like i'm gonna really reassess how i it's true approach people yeah so maybe not justine yeah so who's final verdict meredith or crystal i think meredith you think crystal she's going like Because Crystal is going to flip a table and get shit done.
Do you want that on your wedding day?
Yeah. Let's go. Again, if you guys can see the look on her face right now, she's like, heck yeah.
Let's go. Behind the scenes.
That's the thing. I want her flipping tables to get stuff done for me.
And then walking out and being like, hello.
There's always one thing that happens at your wedding that's absolutely insane.
So if it's Crystal flipping a table, for me, that's very Teresa Giudice.
So let's go. I got to go Crystal now.
But I see Meredith.
Can I just ask a question?
Was Elena that for your wedding?
Flip the table crazy?
No, but during the bustling of my dress, people were arguing and Elena came in there and she said, step aside, bitches.
I got this. And one lady was like, no, I know how to do it.
And she looked at her and that girl just backed her up.
She pulled a crystal?
She pulled a little bit of a crystal and my bustle was perfect.
It worked. I was like, I'll do it.
She was like, I watched a tutorial on how to do it.
The lady showed me.
I got it. I got this.
I got this. And they let me do it.
I was fully confident that she would flip a table if need be.
I would have. She is kind of like a crystal.
Yeah. Oh, all in is a crystal.
Actually, real quick moment.
Who would you be? You'd be crystal.
Who would you be, Sheena?
Like, who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?
um i don't know really who do you think i am i think you have elements of meredith yeah because you get shit done i do get to 10 yeah and you do it in like a you do the pleasure way i mean i don't know if my family would agree you know i think they would if you actually hold them they'd be like yeah like mom mom mom gets shit done and she does it in a good way yeah and you're i think i am a camille without your husband i swear i swear i swear but like that good southern girl like flirty energy because we always say that you have like a southern bell inside of you yeah there's this like old soulness to you that just
like rung out from coming out for me very true i get that a lot yeah all the nice parts yeah thank you yeah not the not the parts not the fuck your husband part i like that we all have a person yeah yeah yeah okay Okay, most likely to cry at a rom -com.
Camille. Justine? I was going to say Justine.
You think Justine? Why?
She's going through a lot.
She's going through a lot.
People are really mean to her.
Yeah. She needs to let it out.
It's a true. She's got rough time at home.
Yeah. Though I was super impressed with the way that she handled everything that went down with her mother -in -law.
Yeah. Her mother -in -law was always so snarky and she still was like, no, I want my son to have a relationship she held it together so maybe not maybe camille yeah but i found camille to be like really smart about how she handled herself and things around her she had a soft side to her she'd do it in the privacy of her own home not in front of others yeah great i could see that i'm glad you brought that up about um justine's mother -in -law because i was like i hate you like you're really mean and go away she was really she was awful yeah it wasn't cool and And then didn't Crystal...
Wait, Crystal's not there, right?
She's like, listen here, lady.
This is just not okay.
Stop being a dick. That's friendship right there.
That's friendship. After she was horrible to me.
But that's such... I could say whatever I want to you because we're besties.
Because you're my family, but not her.
