Not My Fantasy is a podcast where BFFs Hannah and Cullen take a journey through fantasy and fairytale films discussing their folkloric origins, wild storylines, and fantastical aesthetics and ultimately asking the question ”Is this my fantasy?”
This week, we’re talking with friend of the pod and the NMF Twilight correspondent Julia Bianco! Her fantasy romance adventure novel Witch Season is officially out, so she talked with us about corporatized witchcraft, enemies to lovers, and developing her book into a TV show!
Pick up a copy of Witch Season wherever you buy your books. Be sure to pre-order the sequel Heat Spell, out next summer. Keep up with Julia on Instagram and on her website, JuliaBianco.com.

The Odyssey (2026) (feat. Ben Talks Movies & TV and Kevin Buryanek)
The ultimate Swords and Sandals film is finally here! This week, we discuss Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey starring literally everyone in Hollywood. Cullen demands more men in skirts, Hannah is still pro-Polyphemus, Ben petitions for a Nolan-directed body horror movie, and Kevin might just sign up for the Matt Damon fan club.
