Divine Rivals Review: Romantasy, Worldbuilding, and Magic Typewriters (JKL Media Reviews)
JKL Media Podcast
JKL Media Reviews discusses Rebecca Ross’s YA romantasy Divine Rivals, chosen by Karen after previous picks by Lou and Jesse. Lou, not a romance fan, says the book didn’t change his view of romance novels and critiques passive characters, trope-heavy misunderstandings, and underdeveloped worldbuilding, especially the vague setting and limited exploration of the warring gods Dakra and Enva. Jesse enjoys the premise of a WWI-like magical war, likes the characters and love story, and praises elements like the magic typewriters, Roman’s conflict with his family, and supportive elders. The...

info_outlineEdgar Wright’s Stephen King Adaptation Ranked In this Stephen King podcast episode, Lou, Jesse, and Karen review Edgar Wright’s 2025 film adaptation of The Running Man, comparing it to the 1987 movie and discussing how its lighter “popcorn thriller” tone affects the story’s darker authoritarian-media satire. They praise elements of the premise—an impoverished near-future U.S. ruled by “The Network,” where contestants run for 30 days for a billion-dollar prize—along with the social commentary on desensitization to violence, reality-TV spectacle, deepfakes, and manipulation. The hosts highlight cast standouts like Glen Powell, Josh Brolin, Michael Cera, and Coleman Domingo, but criticize the hit-squad villains as underdeveloped and non-threatening. They debate the changed ending versus the novel’s more fatalistic conclusion, then rank 2025 King adaptations, generally placing The Running Man behind The Life of Chuck and The Long Walk.
