#107 - Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer (with Mel B. and Jackie D. of Read, Watch, or DNF and DNF Happy Hour)

Tune in as Mel B. and Jackie D. (Read, Watch, or DNF, DNF Happy Hour) join Arthur to discuss Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer, the 2001 fantasy middle-grade novel that weaves in some sci-fi and asks the question, “What if Die Hard, but with fairies?” A quick digression into To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before, nefarious antiheroes, speculating as to why Judi Dench agreed to be in the horrendous Artemis Fowl movie, and complex time mechanics make up a few of the subjects that the hosts chat about here. TW: kidnapping, confinement, mental illness, violence (particularly gun violence), sexism, animal cruelty, smoking, alcohol, minor inclusion of vomit, minor inclusion of fatphobia Spoilers start at 25:30 Good Word: • Mel: The Loser’s Club, which is Read, Watch, or DNF’s Discord server • Jackie: Crowns of Nyaxia series by Carissa Broadbent • Arthur: Beyond the Infinite Two Minutes Reach out at [email protected] if you want to recommend things to watch and read, share anecdotes, or just say hello!
